There are moments in life that change the way you see everything.
For me, that was watching my daughter fight for her life through a liver transplant, and asking if we could afford it. And, it was the heartbreak of seeing my young son's neighborhood public school close before he ever had the chance to walk through its doors.
So when I fight to lower healthcare costs and keep our public schools open, it's personal to me, not political. And I know I'm not the only parent living it.
I pushed for teacher pay raises, fought to put more Texans on health insurance, and passed legislation to expose corruption in Gov. Abbott’s administration, uncovering millions of taxpayer dollars funneled to his donors.
When I think about the future of North Texas, I think about my daughter, my sons, and the opportunity to fight for yours. The decisions we make today will shape the opportunities they have tomorrow.
I’m running for Senate District 16 so our kids can see a future for themselves in Texas.
With gratitude,
Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos

The best of the freshmen class in the #txlege has a big future... Keep your eye on Paul Dyson.
The final results are in, a plurality has spoken, and it is now clear that I will not be returning to the People’s House next year. Unfortunately, I caught a wave I couldn’t ride. I congratulate Janet Dudding and wish her the best as she prepares to serve House District 14.
To everyone who supported me, volunteered, prayed, contributed, put up a sign, knocked a door, made a call, or simply offered an encouraging word, thank you. I’m deeply grateful.
There is still work to do for HD14 before my term ends. So, we’ll do what we’ve always done: roll up our sleeves and get back to work. My office remains focused on constituent services, district needs, and finishing the job we were elected to do.
It is my honor to serve you.

Huffington Post: Chuck Grassley Ditches Committee Norms To Jam Through Trump Court Picks

🚨BREAKING NEWS in @PunchbowlNews AM
The White House counsel warned Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, in a new letter that some of the new majority’s investigations could cross the line into criminal behavior.
It’s an audacious claim that signals the White House is taking an aggressive — and hugely controversial — stance toward Democratic oversight in the 120th Congress.
The letter, penned by White House counsel Will Scharf, says that Congress can only investigate matters for a legislative purpose — a position that Republicans have relied on and stretched in recent years.
Further, the Scharf letter, sent to Garcia on Monday, says that Democratic investigations are designed to “harass and aggrandize rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”
