We Must Back the Blue

We Must Back the Blue Last year, I wrote an editorial “Too Many Funerals” as a response to the many law enforcement funerals I’ve attended as Lt. Governor. On Tuesday, I attended the funeral service for Constable Deputy Corporal Charles Galloway who was killed in an execution-style slaying by an …

This is a 254-county effort.

The Truth About Critical Race Theory

  I strongly oppose the teaching of Critical Race Theory in our school classrooms because it teaches an anti-American, Marxist narrative of American history. It teaches that an individual is either an oppressed victim or an oppressor based on the color of their skin. This is inappropriate to be …

Not On My Watch

The oil and gas industry is a cornerstone of the Texas economy. This year I championed and helped write Senate Bill 13, the Oil and Gas Investment Protection Act. I worked diligently to ensure this bill made it across the finish line and became law. Under Senate Bill 13, Texas will not do busine…

Texas Won’t Back Down

The Democrats and President Biden continue to show how out of touch they are with the American people. Biden's recent speech calling for an end to the filibuster and gutting states' rights on election integrity just goes to show how their policies are not aligned with what voters want. Biden's s…

The Dangerous Effects of Electing Democrats

Major cities are continuing to see the damaging effects of Democrat policies. Twelve U.S. cities broke homicide records, following an already historically violent 2020. What do these cities have in common? All have Democrat mayors, are weak on crime, and are anti-law enforcement. Police office…
