Trump says his mass deportation agenda is to protect the public from dangerous criminals. In reality, it is a complete failure and an abomination to any standard of morality. bit.ly/4tCI805

Today’s vote to move municipal elections to November is a win for democracy in San Antonio. More voices, more participation, and better representation for our city. Grateful to Mayor Jones, community leaders, and local organizations who helped move this forward.

My heart is with the Brown University community as they grapple with today’s violence. These spaces must be places of learning, growth, and safety—not fear. We owe students, faculty, and families a commitment to protect our campuses and prevent senseless harm.

Great to spend time with our fellow democrats at tonight’s ballot drawing. The primaries are just around the corner — and I look forward to meeting you and earning your trust and vote. When you head to the polls, look for my name as #2 on the ballot for Bexar County Judge.

Moving our municipal elections to November is about strengthening our democracy — not for any party, but for the future of San Antonio. More voices, better decisions. I stand with Mayor Jones, community leaders, and local organizations in moving this forward.

2/2 Rather than defend years of thoughtful, public engagement and compromise led by Kate Rogers, Lt Gov Dan Patrick folded to the loudest extremists in his party. History should not be sacrificed to score political points. It should be honored with honesty and truth.

1/2 This isn’t about history—it’s about rewriting it. Everyone worked together productively on the Alamo plan until a simple acknowledgment of Indigenous history, which had previously gone unchallenged, suddenly became too much for GOP cancel culture. bit.ly/47ssv0V

This is really dumb. Kate Rogers was the right leader at the right time to bring stable, fact-focused leadership to the difficult and important work of the Alamo redevelopment project. Don't let any extremist Republican lecture you about "cancel culture" ever again. bit.ly/4qrpTJA

Statement regarding the White House’s federal grant freeze:
If confusion and chaos were the goal—mission accomplished. 

Our FY2025 budget includes $325 million in federal funding designated to support critical services such as staffing 50 police officers, implementing essential infrastructure improvements, and addressing vital needs within our community. These are *your* tax dollars being withheld from your communities.
We’ll be monitoring any new developments and are committed to keeping you all informed, San Antonio.
