Proud to be the author of meaningful legislation aimed at combatting human trafficking. Yesterday, @GovAbbott signed my SB 315 & SB 766 into law as well as HB 390 & HB 1540, which I sponsored in the Senate. Great teamwork! #txlege

Texas remains the national leader in the fight against human trafficking. Today, I signed nine bills into law cracking down on this heinous crime. Thank you to the #txlege for your partnership in building a safer future for our state.

Such an amazing moment for these kids from Needville! I'll be rooting for them and hope they go all the way in Williamsport. The other teams don't stand a chance against SD17's finest. #LLWS

As the Acting Governor of Texas this past weekend, I had the distinct honor of welcoming President Trump to TX. We had a great time at the #HowdyModi event, where we celebrated the deep cultural, economic, and democratic ties between India and the U.S. @realDonaldTrump #txlege

Today in Senate Finance we unanimously passed CSHB 1. This budget funds the growing needs of our state while keeping an eye on the future. The next step is to pass the bill out of the full Senate. I appreciate everyone's hard work to get us this far! #txlege
