I’m proud to be the youngest member of the Texas Legislature.

But if we want truly representative government, we need *way* more young people in office at every level.

If you’re ready to run, DM me.
And of course we need way more women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, and people with disabilities in office too!

The @TexasTribune breaks down the demographics of the Legislature here: apps.texastribune.org/features/2020/…
Older policy-makers at the local, state, & federal level bring invaluable experience and wisdom to the work.

We just want young folks at the table too. The biggest problems we face—from educational inequity to economic inequality to climate change—uniquely impact our generation.
Thankful for groups like @runforsomething and leaders like @amandalitman and @RossMoRock who are helping young people break through the barriers to running for office.

I’m going viral in Brazil right now...

Apparently “talarico” is Brazilian slang for “wife-stealer.” 😂

Olá, Brazil! 🇧🇷 I’m just making good public policy here in Texas — I promise I won’t steal your girl.
I’m also being compared to this Brazilian pop singer who has a reputation as a “talarico” 😬😬😬
Shout out to my new Brazilian friends who started this: @Felippe_Hermes @Pirulla25

Thank you for alarming my staff with thousands of @ mentions from Brazil. 😂

With 24 hours before voting starts, my opponent put up these signs at voting sites across our district.

This is what our politics has become under Donald Trump. Division, lies, and fear. The goal is to make us so afraid that we can’t see or hear each other.
After the murders of George Floyd and Javier Ambler, our campaign proudly donated to a well-respected civil rights organization in our community that champions educational equity, economic opportunity, and police reform.
We did it publicly, and asked our supporters to match our donation. Because we believe #BlackLivesMatter
