BREAKING: Taylor Rehmet was just sworn in as the first rank-and-file union member to serve in the Texas Senate.

Senator Rehmet is a beacon of hope not just for Texas, but for every union member and worker in the state. This is a huge win for Texas workers!

Proud to be endorsed by the Stonewall Democrats of El Paso. This campaign is about dignity, opportunity, equality, and real representation for working people in every corner of Texas, not business as usual politics that have left too many people behind.

Thank you, Waco, for an incredible Saturday. This campaign is people powered and rooted in a simple belief Texas should work for the people who work for a living.

Working people know what is broken in this system, and we are the best ones to fix it.

Let’s get to work.

Endorsements tell voters who a candidate stands with and who they will fight for. I am proud to be supported by working people, not political insiders. SEIU represents people who show up every day, do the work, and ask only for dignity and fairness. Texans deserve leadership that respects that.

When working people elect politicians who answer to corporate money, it’s not representation. It’s outsourcing your future to the people who profit from your loss. #workersoverbillionaires #Velezfortexas
