The Texas House Committee on Redistricting held a session in Arlington tonight. I had the opportunity to give public comment, so I stepped to the mic. Authoritarianism doesn’t come in with trumpets. It creeps in and thrives on our hesitation to speak out. We say NO MORE. #txlege #redistricting

Here are the two Republicans running for Texas SD9. Over half of Wambsganss $1.6mil is from Tim Dunn and Dan Patrick, plus Texans for Lawsuit Reform. Over (get this) 95% of Huffman’s $3.2mil comes from Miriam Adelson. You don’t have to vote for those doing the billionaires bidding. #txlege
