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 historic week in Texas is just the beginning.
I am thrilled that @Senfronia4Texas, a civil rights icon, will now lead the Texas House.
Madam Speaker Senfronia Thompson!
#txlege #history @TexasHDC
If you are up early I am doing an @MSNOWNews hit on the Texas earthquake coming up in a few minutes!
#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.
@TexasHDC
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
After the very crowded news conference, a quiet moment with our next Speaker & one of my legislative heroes, @Senfronia4Texas!
@TexasHDC members are ready to govern & lead Texas, let’s go! #txlege
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!!
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.

Our incoming Freshmen class will be amazing! #txlege
We did it. We flipped the Texas House! (And a whole lot more.) #txlege
Dean Thompson deserves to be Speaker. I look forward to electing her.
For anyone wondering, last week, I asked House Democratic Caucus Chair @GeneforTexas about whether he would toss in his hat for speaker should Dems take the majority.
His answer: "Abso-f*cking-lutely not."
#txlege
Texans voted for change tonight, and they deserve a Speaker who will put their interests first.
Dean Thompson has dedicated her life to public service, and no one understands this institution or the responsibility that comes with leading it better than she does.
She has the experience, the relationships, and the trust of her colleagues to bring this House together and get things done.
I am proud to support Dean Thompson for Speaker as we begin this historic new chapter for Texas.
#txlege
Someone said we would flip the #txlege during #tribfest.
That someone was me.
