Though this is the end of a chapter for me, I'm reminded that our democracy is great because it doesn’t begin or end with one elected official. It's not about one person. It never has been. We are caretakers. Guardians of the great American experiment.
Watch my farewell speech.

It’s been an honor serving with you, @RepColinAllred. Texas and the nation are better because of your leadership. Your district couldn't have asked for a better Congressman.
You're one of my all-time favorite football players, and I’m lucky to call you a friend.

My office is here to serve North Texas, and we couldn’t do that without the help of our outstanding interns. Their passion for public service inspires me and I can’t wait to see what they accomplish in the future.

Our commitment to our veterans is sacred, and we must never stop working for them. I'm proud our bipartisan bill passed the House, which will ensure families of veterans who pass away at home can access burial benefits. hospicenews.com/2024/11/19/h…

Access to education is one of the best ways to ensure every Texan can get a good job. The new FAFSA form is now available, which comes after I led an effort urging @usedgov to fix a glitch impacting children in immigrant families. Fill out your form here: studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-a…

I was raised by a single mom who was a public school teacher. It wasn’t always easy, but we made it. That’s why I am honored to be named Defender of Children by @Campaign4Kids. ffccscorecard.org/champions-…

Growing up, my mom was a Dallas public school teacher, so I know how hard our educators work to make sure our kids get the best education possible. This American Education Week, let’s recommit to uplifting our teachers, staff and students. #AEW2024

Not everyone can access a scholarship, so making higher education more affordable will help more Texans access the education and training they need to get good job. This is a great step forward for students and families.
Students attending college within the University of Texas System will receive free tuition and waived fees if their families make less than $100,000 annually. l8r.it/SLiR
ALT UT will offer free tuition to students if their families make less than $100,000

Social Security is vital for Texans, but too many police officers, teachers & other public servants unfairly get reduced benefits. I was proud to vote for the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act to ensure our public servants receive the retirement benefits they've earned.

This #DiabetesAwarenessMonth, I'm committed to lowering costs for Texans living with diabetes. Thanks to our work to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, we capped insulin for folks on Medicare at $35 a month. Let’s keep working to ensure Texans can afford the insulin they need.

DFW Airport is one of the strongest job engines in our region. 🛫
I'm proud that the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw, signed into law three years ago today, has delivered $272 million to upgrade @DFWAirport’s infrastructure, create jobs, and ensure better traveler experiences.

Three years ago, the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw was signed into law. With over $30 billion in funding for Texas, this is a big deal.
It's helping us fix our roads and bridges, invest in our airports and public transit, and so much more — all while creating good-paying jobs.

Josseli Barnica should be alive today, but because of Texas’ cruel abortion ban she could not get the care she needed. We must ensure every Texas woman can access the life-saving care she needs. abcnews.go.com/US/woman-dies…
