Abraham Lincoln said government is of the people, by the people and for the people. Communities should be able to freely elect the candidate of their choice.

We took a stand. And we left the state of Texas because that was the best and the right thing to do at the right time.

So yes, I believe that there are more opportunities for people to speak. But we are just outnumbered in the Texas legislature. When you look at the numbers, there`s only 67 Democrats and that`s not enough to overcome this oppressive bill…

Your ability for free and fair elections are on the line.

When our Democratic counterpart, my Democratic colleagues, would put up amendments that would reduce the harmful impact of some of these measures, our amendments were either stripped out, watered down, or flat-out denied.
