Thank you Speaker-Designate @Senfronia4Texas for joining our @TexasHDC Freshmen orientation!
Your experience & wise words will help guide the #txlege and our new lawmakers. Let’s go!
Here’s pic of Sen-Elect @jamestalarico wearing his boots on the Texas House floor. As you’ll see from my 7 year old thread, Talarico had plenty of company. #txlege

A lifetime of breaking barriers. A legacy of fighting for the people. And now, history in the making.
It’s a new chapter for Texas. A House of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Led by the one and only Ms. T, our next Speaker of the Texas House. 💙
If you are up early I am doing an @MSNOWNews hit on the Texas earthquake coming up in a few minutes!

A big congratulations to Senfronia Thompson @Senfronia4Texas on earning the support of colleagues to become the next Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives!
I served with her for ten years. She’s a person of principle, dignity and mettle. Always a trailblazer, today she makes history again.
Ask anyone who’s served or worked in the legislature over many decades and they can recite Senfronia’s stern but heartfelt admonition to colleagues: Let the little dogs eat.
A perfect choice for the times we’re in.
I am honored to have secured the support of this growing bipartisan coalition of 90 Members. I look forward to leading the Texas House as Speaker. #txlege
This is what unity looks like!
Looking forward to Madam Speaker @Senfronia4Texas leading the 90th #txlege session!
We are united on making the lives of Texans better & more affordable.

I was thrilled to welcome Bobby Pulido to our home earlier this year. Fantastic candidate, and he’ll be even better in Congress! Congrats, @bobbypulido425!!

INBOX: Rep. @Senfronia4Texas will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the speaker's office to discuss her candidacy for the speaker's gavel. Says she will announce a "united vision for Texas." #txlege
When we commissioned Kermit Oliver for a portrait of Ms T. last year, he left the pages on the book in front of her blank… to symbolize she had more work ahead.
That work will be leading the Texas House, as our next Speaker.
There is nobody better.

This makes me so happy. @Jon_RosenthalTX will be a fantastic Railroad Commissioner. His campaign team did a phenomenal job.
Kindness & competence over racism & bigotry.
Let’s go! #txlege
“Democrats have to deliver,” Gene Wu, the chairman of the @TexasHDC, said from his home in Houston on Wednesday morning. “No excuses, no whining, no crying.”
Thanks @lmcgaughy for highlighting the work of Texas Dems across the board! Let’s go! #txlege
“We’re going to let cities decide if they want to have rainbow sidewalks again.”
For the first time in about 25 years, Texas Democrats will have a real chance to govern. They aren’t wasting any time.

For the first time in 23 years, we have flipped the Texas House. Now let’s get to work on delivering for Texas families. #txlege
We did it. We flipped the Texas House! (And a whole lot more.) #txlege
