Data centers are the next great industrial revolution. Supporting their growth and our expanding economy requires abundant, reliable and affordable energy. Before building costly new infrastructure, the fastest way to add power and improve grid reliability is to strengthen the infrastructure we already have. Secretary Wright understands that, and I thank him for his continued support of Texas’ energy future. Unfortunately, persistent misinformation has distorted the debate over data centers, sensationalizing the challenges while ignoring practical solutions. The energy solution is straightforward: require data center developers to invest in their own reliable power, including natural gas and nuclear, rather than shifting the burden to ratepayers. Done right, we can protect Texas families, keep electricity costs in check and strengthen grid reliability. The people of Texas deserve a real voice in what gets built in their neighborhoods. Data centers won’t be a fit for every area, but not every Texas town wants to turn away billions of dollars in private investment. As we develop a Texas plan for responsible data center regulation this session, we must avoid broad policies that strip local communities of the right to decide their own future.

Texas must lead the next industrial revolution, not turn away from it. I support responsible data center growth that brings billions in private investment, strengthens rural communities, and advances American AI leadership.

The entire climate-scam risk firm industry is a grift built on manufactured fear.

There is still more than a week of early voting left. DO NOT wait until Election Day!! Help fight to keep Texas RED.

Communist China dominates the vast majority of global solar manufacturing. Texas accounts for 40% of planned U.S. utility-scale solar additions in 2026, while solar and battery storage make up a large share of ERCOT’s proposed projects. Every dollar spent on these solar projects in Texas is a sizable investment in Communist China. Energy infrastructure investment must strengthen Texas' energy security, not deepen our dependence on foreign adversaries.

Ignore this. If you haven't voted. Go vote for every Republican on the ballot right now.

Ignore the polls. Make plans to vote RED down the entire ballot. Bring everyone you know.

When your party stands for the eradication of the oil and gas industry at the steep cost of our economy and taxpayers, you don’t get to campaign on fuel costs. Because we all know if Democrats seize power they'll dust off the Green New Scam.
