Bring these guard members home. If you are not going to put them to the full and best use, that is meeting an emergency or crisis, if there are simply political window dressing for your campaign and Republican primary, and let them come…

This is a political ploy on the part of the governor, but the people who are paying the price beyond the taxpayers, are those members of the governor.

What we do know is what’s taking place is exactly what was predicted by opponents of this voter suppression bill.

He`s been calling this an invasion. He`s been asking Texans to take matters into their own hands.

if we want to know the answers to these questions, we`ve got to ask the people who actually live them and experience them and understand them.

We got to get past that small mean vision of Texas and get back to the big things.

I`m running for governor and I want to tell you why.

We don`t think that people should have weapons of war and we shouldn`t have to worry about our friends our family members our neighbors being shot up at the grocery store, in the movie theater, or in our schools, or at church.

Those are the consequences of Greg Abbott, and that is not lost on the people of Texas.

This past February, when the electricity grid failed, and millions of our fellow Texans were without power... they were abandoned by those who were elected to serve and look out for them.

Most Texans understand that. So we`re going to work together to make sure that we have common-sense gun legislation and protect the Second Amendment here in the State of Texas.

the truth of the matter is, Brian, that a majority of Texans don`t want permitless carry, a majority of Texans don`t want restrictions to abortion, like the ones we`ve seen.

For 38 days, Democratic members of the Texas State House showed the country how to stand up for democracy. Dozens of lawmakers left the state and faced threats of arrests rather than allowing Texas Republicans to pass a blatantly partisan…

You’re absolutely right. And, in fact, our lieutenant governor blamed the spike in COVID cases in Texas on Black Texans specifically, as he tries to make it harder for Black Texans and Mexican American Texans, young Texans, Texans with…

So, Mr. President, please get the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act passed as quickly as you can.

We need the United States Congress, specifically the Senate, to pass the For the People Act.

Thank God for the courageous school board trustees who regardless of how popular or unpopular a mask requirement might be in their schools are one by one beginning to require that.

I hope those local jurisdictions, including my own here at the El Paso Independent School District, will continue to stand up against the governor and for the lives of those kids who are in their trust.

There are no more pediatric ICU beds in North Texas. So that means kids in Fort Worth, in Dallas, in Denton and Plano and Frisco, if they get COVID and our God forbid sick enough that they need to go to the hospital. There will not be a…

It's interesting, he's issued a mandate as the governor of the state of Texas, preventing local jurisdictions like school districts or cities or Texas counties, from issuing their own mandates to protect the public health by requiring…

I hope sooner rather than later, the government -- governor will see the wisdom of this local leadership and follow suit and allow local jurisdictions to require masks where it's going to help those who are most vulnerable, including kids.

Texas has done its part and it`s now time for the president and those Democrats in the Senate who have a political majority to do theirs, amend the filibuster at a minimum and allow an exception for voting rights legislation.

That`s what we`re marching for. That`s what we`re rallying for tomorrow.

You can’t let States abridge people’s legitimate constitutional right to vote.

If we do not save the infrastructure of our democracy, and protect the right to vote and guarantee free and fair elections going forward, we will very well lose it forever.
