Ring in the New Year But Not With A Bang!

Thanks to Arlington Police for sharing this important reminder ahead of New Year’s Eve. Same is true for Grand Prairie and Mansfield— don’t shoot off fireworks in the city and never, ever engage in “celebratory gunfire.” What goes up must come down — and that “celebratory” bullet can kill someone.

Celebrate safely!

Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great day spent with family and loved ones.

The Beacon Recreation Center at 1100 Mansfield Webb Road is available as a temporary overnight warming center for our neighbors still experiencing low natural gas pressure.

The City of Arlington has opened The Beacon Recreation Center as a temporary warming center in response to a south Arlington neighborhood being without adequate natural gas pressure to heat their homes and run necessary appliances during the freezing temperatures.

Texas has a strong, growing economy thanks to Texas workers. The men and women who power our economy deserve to be treated fairly, which is why I have filed the following pro-worker bills:

•HB 1054, the Texas Payroll Fraud Prevention Act, cracks down on worker misclassification and payroll fraud in the construction industry.
•HB 1055, the Texas Worker Fairness Act, ensures workers are not denied unemployment benefits they have rightfully earned.

Thanks to everyone who came out to my 10th Annual District 101 Holiday Party & Toy Drive! The event was a huge success, and thanks to all of your generosity, this year we were able to donate more toys than ever before to the children served by Mission Arlington.

A special thank you to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Xi Theta Omega Chapter in Arlington for their incredibly generous donation of hundreds of toys, and the Golden Gaits Stable whose students raised money to purchase toys.

When Texans entrust the care of loved ones to a group home, they should have confidence that they will be safe.

Attended Commissioners Court this morning to celebrate the accomplishments of Commissioner Devan Allen, PCT. 2. These last 4 years have been tumultuous times - COVID 19, the grid collapse, and through these times Precinct 2 has had the right leader. We are so proud of you, your accomplishments, all you have done for Precinct 2 and we’re looking forward to what is next!

Happy holidays from the White House!

Lisa and I were honored to attend a holiday reception hosted by President & Dr. Biden this afternoon.

The White House is a beautiful place any day of the year, but it’s truly magical in the holiday season.

It was an honor to be there representing Texas and House District 101 and to thank President Biden personally for his superb leadership for our nation.

Thanks to President Biden and Democrats in Congress, plan subsidies for Marketplace Health Insurance have been expanded. Four out of five customers on Healthcare.gov will be able to find a plan for less than $10 per month after subsidies. Sign up before open enrollment ends on Jan. 15!

I had a great afternoon meeting with students, faculty and Texas Equal Access Fund leaders for the TCU TEA Fund Advocacy Day regarding crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs).

The state spends nearly $100 million on CPCs each year with very little regulation or accountability. I’ve consistently opposed state funding for these centers as they continually spread medical misinformation and fail to provide adequate healthcare to those who use them.

I appreciate this group for advocating for this important issue.

How did a gun get into a group home for people with intellectual disabilities? Turns out, it’s legal

The system failed Joshua Moore & I am committed to ensuring this tragedy is never repeated.

This session I will file a package of bills to protect residents in group homes, including banning fi****ms in these facilities.

After a caretaker was cleared for fatally shooting a 27-year-old man with autism, the man’s father seeks to change Texas state law.

My deepest condolences to Grand Prairie Police and to the family of Officer Tsai.

The heartbreaking loss of this young public servant is a sobering reminder that law enforcement officers risk their lives each and every day in service to our communities.

The Grand Prairie Police Department is mourning the loss of one of our officers who died in the line of duty. It is with heavy hearts that we report Officer Brandon Paul Tsai passed away after being involved in a traffic collision.

At around 10:45 p.m. on Monday, November 14, 2022, Officer Tsai was near the intersection of SW 3rd and Pioneer Parkway when he located a vehicle displaying a fictitious paper license plate. Officer Tsai attempted to stop the vehicle which immediately fled. During the pursuit, Officer Tsai lost control of his squad car causing it to strike a light pole.

Officer Tsai was transported by Grand Prairie Fire Department Medics to Methodist Dallas Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries. Officer Brandon Tsai was 32-years-old and had been with the Grand Prairie Police Department since January 2022. Prior to his hiring at GPPD, he served five years with the Los Angeles Police Department in California.

He was a loving friend, a trusted colleague and an outstanding officer whose passion was providing service to the public.
