Big news from Governor Abbott’s office today — and important work ahead for Texas!
First, my heart goes out to all the Texans impacted by the devastating floods in the Hill Country. I’m glad to see we’re stepping up not only with immediate relief but with real action to prevent tragedies like this in the future.
Governor Abbott’s Special Session proclamation includes strong, conservative priorities that I fully support and look forward to working on. Some highlights:
✅ Relief & Recovery: Funding for Hill Country flood recovery, flood warning systems, better disaster prep & response.
✅ Education: Eliminating the STAAR test and replacing it with better ways to measure student success.
✅ Taxes: Cutting property taxes by reducing the burden on Texans and limiting spending.
✅ Protecting Kids: Banning hemp-derived products for kids under 21, shielding kids from THC.
✅ Pro-Life: Further protections for unborn children.
✅ Law & Order: Backing law enforcement privacy, cracking down on human trafficking, stronger protections against title & deed fraud.
✅ Government Reform: Banning taxpayer-funded lobbying, empowering the Attorney General to prosecute election crimes, and tackling redistricting.
✅ Water & Infrastructure: Incentives for water projects, and improvements for our state judicial department.
I’m excited to head back down to Austin and get to work delivering on these priorities for Texas families.
Let’s get this done!
