From Harvey, to #COVID19, to this winter freeze, state leadership at the highest level of government has yet again, failed us. The abdication of leadership is not surprising seeing they care more about a song being played at a basketball game than protecting the most vulnerable..

State leadership refuses to take action on healthcare, the climate crisis, housing, education, voting rights, criminal justice reform, infrastructure; just to name a few. Issues directly impacting our lives. When will leadership start caring about Texans & not just corporations?

Texas is the No. 1 state for total energy production. The state produces more electricity than any other state, generating almost twice as much as the second highest-producing state. And yet 4.32 million people (and growing) in the State of Texas have no power, and for what?

What good does it do to have the 10th largest economy in the world, if people aren’t alive to use it and the entire state is literally shut down?

Texas should be the leader on all fronts but because of politics and the constant appetite for appeasing just ONE subset of people, the 10th largest economy in the world, once again finds itself reactive instead of proactive.

Elections have consequences. Progressive policy is what fixes these issues and keeps us prepared, not empty red meat rhetoric. Remember the lack of planning around this pandemic and this winter freeze, the next time you visit a voting booth. #txlege
