Texas has no income tax — but still ranks among highest-tax states According to a new study from WalletHub, the average U.S. household pays nearly $14,000 in federal income taxes.

I’ve been all across TX-33 talking with families and working alongside small business owners. No matter where I go, I hear the same thing: property taxes are too high. I hear you, and I will fight to make sure we have tangible solutions.

Proud to have the endorsement of State Rep. Ana-Maria Rodríguez Ramos.

She’s a dedicated advocate for our community, and I’m grateful to stand alongside her as we fight for working families in TX-33.

TX-33 is showing up today and making their voice heard. This is where I grew up and where I’m now raising my family.

When we show up, we win. Every vote counts. See you at the polls.

Tariffs Confound Small Businesses Again

I’ve been all across TX-33 visiting small businesses, working shifts behind the counter, and hearing directly from Texans about rising costs and uncertainty.

Small businesses are the backbone of our district and deserve our full support, not chaotic tariff policies.

In their own words: Texans vote under redrawn maps ordered by Trump Millions of Texas voters are casting ballots under redrawn U.S. House maps that were engineered to boost Republicans in the 2026 elections.

Trump and his Republican allies redrew the maps to split communities and silence our voices. We’re here to remind them that the people still decide who represents them.

Tomorrow is Election Day. Show up and make your voice impossible to ignore.

Yesterday at OGK Dallas, I rolled up my sleeves alongside Councilmember John Bowers to make hamantaschen for seniors in our community.

Service brings people together — and I’m grateful for organizations like OGK that show up for our neighbors every day.

What we know: How many killed, who's involved in West 6th Street shooting Three people were killed and 14 were injured in a shooting outside Buford’s bar on Sixth Street in downtown Austin.

Last night's mass shooting in Austin is another devastating reminder of the gun violence epidemic tearing through this country. My heart is with the victims and their families. We cannot keep accepting this as normal.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

No president has the authority to seize control of our elections by executive order. States run elections. Congress writes the law. The Constitution is clear on this.

Every American should be alarmed at this. Free and fair elections aren't negotiable, and I’ll protect them with everything I've got.

The Dallas Lowriders are rolling out for early voting and standing with our campaign — and I couldn't be more grateful.

This is what it looks like when the community leads the way. Let’s show up, vote early, and keep building a Texas that works for all of us.

Democratic primary turnout breaking records across Texas Turnout during the first week of early voting for the Texas midterm election exceeded the same period for the previous two presidential elections, years that typically see higher voter engagement.

Texas voters are showing up like never before. Early vote turnout is outpacing past elections — because Texans are ready for leaders who'll fight for lower costs, honest government, and real results.

Hegseth gives Anthropic CEO until Friday to back down in AI safeguards fight "The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now."

Pete Hegseth is bullying Anthropic into dropping its protections against the mass surveillance of the American people.

Building powerful technology responsibly isn’t something that should be punished — it should be encouraged. Americans deserve innovation that works for them, not at their expense.

Proud to stand with our letter carriers fighting for dignity and safety on the job. I was raised in a family of public servants and know firsthand the sacrifice they make to keep our country running.

Working people deserve leaders who will fight for them, and I always will.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Senator Royce West, a leader who has spent decades fighting for Dallas, justice, and opportunity.

I’m grateful for his trust and partnership as we continue the work to deliver real results for working families in TX-33.

Pulled up to the Dallas Lowriders’ “Party at the Polls” — and our community showed out.

When we meet people where they are, we build a stronger community and a stronger Texas.

Records: Texan killed by ICE months before Minneapolis woman The involvement of federal immigration agents in the fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez on South Padre Island in March had not been disclosed in initial reports.

When a federal agent kills a 23-year-old American, the public deserves the truth immediately — not a year of silence and a lawsuit to uncover ICE’s involvement.

No agency is above scrutiny. Texans deserve a government that tells the truth, not one that hopes the story fades away.

Spent this morning on a community block walk, talking with families about rising costs, public safety, and opportunity.

Change happens when we show up, face to face.
Grateful for every conversation.

ICE is showing up in our communities, tearing families apart, and making people afraid to go to work, school, and church.

Meanwhile, DHS wants a luxury jet for Kristi Noem. This administration runs on two things: cruelty and corruption.

Supreme Court rules most Trump tariffs illegal in major setback for economic agenda The Supreme Court on Friday ruled President Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs under a federal emergency powers law.

The Supreme Court of the United States just made it clear: no president is above the Constitution.

Tariffs are taxes, and that power belongs to Congress.

This is what accountability looks like, and I will never stop fighting for it.

Castro says 2-month-old in Dilley ICE custody deported with mother after hospital visit UPDATE AT 9:10 AM - A two-month-old boy, who was in custody at Dilley Detention Center, was taken to the hospital Monday night.Sources say the child was treate

A two-month-old baby with bronchitis should be in a hospital, not an ICE detention center. This isn’t a one-off.

ICE is terrorizing families and tearing apart communities across our country. This cruelty has to end and I will not stop fighting until it does.
