We stood together to demand the release of Texas’ delayed maternal mortality report. Nearly 4 out of 5 pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, and Black women continue to face the highest rates. We need this report to understand why women are dying and build legislation that saves lives.

In a world that feels so divided, be like Senator Andy Kim. Fight hard. Stand your ground. Keep showing up. And never lose your decency or your belief in people. It was beyond amazing to meet the Senator, someone I’ve looked up to for years. A mentor and the kind of public servant I strive to be.

Thank you to Austin PBS for having me on to talk about what’s at stake for our community. I’m committed to fully funding our public schools, protecting a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and putting our community first at the Capitol.

The weekend wasn’t a gift. The eight-hour workday wasn’t a gift. Overtime pay wasn’t a gift. Safer workplaces and better wages weren’t gifts. Working people organized, fought for them, and won them.

Moderating a panel at Blue Action SW with Congressional Candidates Caitlin Rourk & Tanya Lloyd. Healthcare and affordability are top of mind for residents in HD 47 and across their congressional districts. Up and down the ballot, we are focused on kitchen table issues that impact families every day.

I loved visiting UA Local 286 and seeing their apprenticeship program in action! Good-paying jobs, hands-on training, and a real path to a career. This is what investing in Texas workers looks like. I’m proud to always stand with our unions and working families. #txlege

Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social ’s words about my race mean so much. And he is right. Hate may be loud, but it is not who most of us are. When we tolerate it or use it to gain power, we risk losing something much harder to regain: our dignity.

Bad policies have real consequences. We can’t keep going down this path. As AI data centers rapidly expand and our water and public lands face growing pressure, Texas needs leaders who think ahead instead of waiting for a crisis. I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Sierra Club.

A year ago today, Texans waited more than 13 hours to speak against mid-decade redistricting. Many never got the chance. Now we’re living with the consequences. In HD 47, we’re split across four congressional districts.

Today I joined Texans calling for accountability on data centers, and today the Texas Senate Finance Committee is taking a closer look at the billions in tax incentives our state gives them. Texans deserve to know what we’re getting in return. Our grid, our water, & our tax dollars matter. #txlege

At a vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo tonight, the grief was impossible to ignore. One speaker said, “When one family suffers, we all suffer from the injustice.” Lorenzo’s family deserves the truth. ICE owes the family a full and transparent account of what happened. #txlege

💥We’re less than four months from Election Day. This is a fun reminder that Democratic campaigns aren’t glamorous, they’re powered by us. Volunteer for a Dem candidate. Donate if you can. Block walk. Phone bank. Talk to neighbors. Find your precinct chair. We can create change! #texasdemocrats

"They won't go any further." That's what people said before Roe was overturned. The 2026 Texas GOP platform proves they're not done. Women's rights matter. Families matter. Freedom matters. Pay attention. Speak up. Stay engaged. Because they're not done, and neither are we. #txlege

Three years ago today, I was at the Texas Capitol when Democrats and Republicans overwhelmingly voted to impeach Ken Paxton for being too corrupt to serve. Nothing has changed since then except now Ken is asking Texans for a promotion. He won’t get one. Vote for @jamestalarico.bsky.social #txlege

Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor the servicemembers who gave their lives for our country. Today, we reflect on their sacrifice, the families who carry that, and the responsibility we have to build a country worthy of what they gave. Thinking of all those mourning loved ones today. 🇺🇸

Four years ago today, 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered in Uvalde. The heartbreak that swept across Texas has never left, and the pain those families carry every single day is unimaginable.

At yesterday’s pub ed hearing, one educator’s testimony made clear how frustrated many in our schools have become because of state policies that tie their hands and underfund our classrooms. Teachers want to give every child the support they need to succeed. We need to listen to them. #txlege
