History is being made as we are on the verge of electing Representative @Senfronia4Texas as the first woman & African American, Speaker of the Texas House. Watching her relentlessly work the phones this week was amazing. Let the little dogs eat! #txlege

NYT: Gina Hinojosa announces that former Texas State House Representative Ernest Bailes, a Republican, will be part of her transition team.
Hinojosa: “We will have a bipartisan transition and we will have a bipartisan administration in government in Texas.”

I have been blessed to serve in the greatest legislature in the Union. It was an honor and a pleasure to give back to my community. I thank God, my family, and my team for all the work and bills we passed in the last 4 years.
I’ll see y’all around.

Last night, Republicans lost the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, and my home state of Texas, a conservative cornerstone for more than three decades, because our party forgot the basic rules of coalition politics:
1. Add, don’t subtract
2. Be likeable
3. Do what you promised
4. Character & integrity still matter
Time to turn the page and rebuild. Read my full thoughts in the @WSJ: wsj.com/opinion/republicans-…

All you have to do is check the Secretary of State’s website to see that Bo French received far fewer votes than the Governor and every other “RINO” you listed.

Tell me you don’t understand the legislative process without telling me you don’t understand the legislative process. Please get out of all of our lives! Please.
It’s not too late to cast your ballot. Polls are open until 7pm. Thank you to everyone who has supported our campaign. Let’s finish strong.

Senator Burton and I didn’t always agree but she is every bit the constitutional conservative she has always claimed to be. #Respect

Thank you @FTWChamber for having me speak today at your luncheon. Y’all are the backbone of the amazing Fort Worth economy and we are so grateful. What an amazing interview with Ross Perot, Jr. and hearing about decades of investment in our great city.

Must watch/listen to podcast by @fortworthchris especially if you live in Fort Worth,Texas. Ross Perot, Jr. doesn’t speak publicly often, but when he does I always learn something new and you will too.
Today I sit down with Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood and The Perot Group. Ross founded Hillwood in 1988 and built Alliance Texas, his masterpiece, a 1 of 1 27,000-acre development.
We discuss:
• Why Trammell Crow told him to just build warehouses
• How Hillwood developed Alliance Texas
• How a rare earth company got its air permit in three weeks
• How President Bush helped close Scotiabank's move to Texas
• What the 1992 campaign looked like from inside the family
• The Iran War and why cheap oil prices are on the way
• Why every community should want a data center
• How to keep China from taking Taiwan
• Why he expects markets to boom after the midterms
