Here's why my election is so important
My priority is representing the people in TX8
My GOP opponent says her priority is Trump's America First agenda

I’m for government instead of tech bros regulating AI
Re data centers, review impact on their communities before continuing any expansion

Neither TX republicans who gerrymandered TX8 nor the national polling firms who labeled it safe red considered Trump's bigotry & mental instabilty, plus a Trump First GOP candidate, might impact this open seat district

TX8 is safe red based on Trump’s 2024 results in redistricted map. With its majority now being non-anglo, an unhinged Trump energizing voters, & my opponent still committed to Trump, I think an upset is possible

@GOPMajorityWhip has it wrong. Senate Republicans don't suck. It's Trump's lap dog @HouseGOP that sucks.
Voters will remedy that situation on election day

Texans aren't just ready for changing statewide officials who put Trump first instead of us. They want a Congress that won't allow Trump to do whatever the hell he wants

Trump thinks calling #IranWar a military operaion, SI for AI, & affordability a hoax will change voter attitudes about them. He gets worse every day

My GOP opponent is also a conservative DC insider lawyer who considers herself a good Christian. I wonder whether she's as concerned about Trump's criminal behavior

One of my adult daughters received this letter, along with an ACA $500 rebate check, yesterday. If Trump thinks she's going to give him a pass on his disastrous domestic & international performance as POTUS because of it, he's sorely mistaken

Enough is enough to vote for another GOP candidate who will cede the constitutional authority Congress has to Donald Trump

My campaign's focus is on community issues, but when my GOP opponent says she's all in on Trump's agenda, then his unhinged behavior is also an issue

@RepJeffries should not ignore red districts in major TX metros. Down ballot candidates did well in 2018 with Beto at top of ballot & Talarico is in a stronger postion

End #IranWar, End reckless #tariffs, & End ruinous #healthcare cuts is a good start for what is needed
2 weeks to go for early voting start date
@kat223 @thecorpmex @johncastellanos @Rabidreader1970 @filafresh @MikeOkuda @FreddyRoo2 @ProgressTX @AmericanYouthf1
If anybody asks you what’s going to happen when Democrats take over Congress in 2027, let me explain what to expect.
Words are going to end, tariffs are going to fall. Gas prices are going to drop in healthcare is going to be funded.
#BlueWaveIn30Days
Let’s GO!

I’m sure we've all seen Angela Paxton’s MAGA Inc ad urging Texans to ignore vile GOP candidates like her ex & just vote straight ticket to preserve GOP political power
Voters must not be about preserving Trump's political control of Congress & Texas

Hassert is repeatig Trump's bs that the Economy is booming so when it crashes in 2027 from his tariffs, war, & deficit spending, Trump can blame it on a democratic Congress instead of a complicit GOP
@NeverTrumpNeve1 @brontyman @vietthanhsports @kat223 @thecorpmex @evan7257
TAPPER: Two years ago, President Trump said he thought he could get mortgage rates down to 3% or even lower. Last week mortgage rates had the biggest weekly jump in four years. It's more than 7%. Why has Trump failed to deliver on that promise?
HASSETT: President Trump hasn't failed to deliver at all. The economy is booming.
