We considered that mail delivery may be slower than normal (another gift from the Trump administration). We wanted the 40,000 mailers to be in voters’ hands before early voting started. It also has useful information about voting by mail, BCDP address and phone, information about joining NWD. A QR code is also available to access the Bexar County Elections office. Most of you will not be receiving the mailer. We targeted non-voting Democrats, young people, independent voters. We will be getting a digital copy and those who access the newsletter through your email will receive a copy. Northwest Democrats Page 5 Keep Energized and Vote Northwest Democrats P.O.

    April 29, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Delivered via Email Dear Governor Abbott: Long-term care facilities like nursing homes, state supported living centers, and group homes are now the epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. While media outlets have rightly focused on the deaths in nursing homes across the country, people with disabilities and older adults face increased risks in all institutional and congregate settings. Like nursing homes, there have been similar outbreaks and deaths in our state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes. Our state government can and must do more to protect our most vulnerable Texans. That is why we respectfully request the following critical measures to defend our elderly Texans, Texans with disabilities, and the Texans on the frontline serving these communities. • Immediate additional funding through an emergency Texas Medicaid rate increase for long-term and intermediate care facilities to help cover increased costs for direct-care staff wages and personal protective equipment (PPE); • Greater transparency in the reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases in nursing home facilities, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes; • Mandatory available COVID-19 testing for every employee and resident of a nursing home facility, state supported living centers, state hospitals, or group home in Texas. Thank you for your consideration of our request, and ensuring Texas protects our most vulnerable. Please do not hesitate

Jones, Ph.D. “Ideology and Partisanship in the 87th (2021) Regular Session of the Texas Legislature” https://doi.org/10.25613/HP57-BF70 Ideology and Partisanship in the 87th (2021) Regular Session of the Texas Legislature Executive Summary This report utilizes roll call vote data to improve our understanding of the ideological and partisan dynamics of the Texas Legislature’s 87th regular session. The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.

  • A Letter to Abbott
    September 4, 2019 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Dear Governor Abbott: The undersigned members of the House Democratic Caucus write today to urge you to call an emergency session of the 86th Legislature in response to the tragic mass shootings that have taken place in our state in the last several years, including two in the last month. But it is not only mass shootings we must respond to – more than 3,000 people lose their lives to gun violence in Texas each year. That horrifying statistic alone should prompt us to take action. We agree with your comments at Sunday’s press conference that the status quo is unacceptable. Members of the House Democratic Caucus, for several sessions now, have proposed dozens of specific bills aimed at changing the status quo by making Texans safer through common-sense gun and public safety legislation. We have attached a comprehensive list of bills our members authored in the 86th Regular Session for your review and consideration. As governor, you have the sole authority to both call an emergency session and determine the legislative proposals that are eligible to be considered. While we believe many if not all of the attached legislative proposals will help address the gun violence epidemic, at a minimum we ask that you place the following items on the call: 1. Enacting extreme risk protective order laws and closing existing loopholes in current protective order laws 2. Closing the background check loopholes 3. Banning the sale of high-capacity magazines 4.

  • 2021 Newsletter Bexar Delegation
    January 25, 2021 Dr. John Hellerstedt, Commissioner Texas Department of State Health Services P.O. Box 149347 Austin, Texas 78714-9347 Delivered Electronically Dear Commissioner Hellerstedt: Thank you for your continued leadership in Texas and for your commitment to all Texans' health and well-being, especially at this critical time. The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has been Texans’ first real beacon of medical hope since this pandemic began. Vaccine distribution, however, has been riddled with obstacles and difficulties that must be overcome to protect our most vulnerable citizens. As members of the Bexar County delegation we write to express our perspective that we must dramatically increase transparency and infrastructure to support the efficient distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. Although hospitals are doing as much as they can to vaccinate as many people as possible, even Texas’ immense medical centers cannot carry out this effort alone. We believe it is unrealistic to ask them to manage the surging number of critical COVID-19 cases, care for their other patients, and organize and administer the vaccines—all while protecting their staff from the virus. Vaccine administrators and healthcare providers expect and deserve efficient assistance from our state government, including the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) timely sharing its goals and expectations for vaccine distribution and implementing a process to answer quickly questions from medical providers. Because they reportedly are unclear about who is responsible for answering their questions, we can substantially ease the load on providers and clinics throughout the state by explaining and improving the system. We recommend that, working with city coordinators, vaccines continue to be distributed to private practice and community clinics, not only to large hospitals.

  • LEO PACHECO Total Pro-Life Score
    LEO PACHECO Total Pro-Life TEXAS HOUSE DISTRICT 118 Score: (D-SAN ANTONIO) Anti-Life Voted Pro-Life Voted Anti-Life 0% Pro-Life Key: EA = Excused Absence; UA = Unexcused Absence; PNV = Present, Not Voting; and Chair = Presiding at the Chair during the vote The Regular Session of the 86th Legislature was abysmal for the Pro-Life cause. Although Texas Right to Life, grassroots leaders, and voters prioritized only four Pro-Life bills, just one bill (Senate Bill 22, which should have been significantly strengthened) passed and was signed into law. Speaker of the House Dennis Bonnen, who announced his retirement under a cloud of corruption, and his leadership team actively thwarted Pro-Life issues from reaching the House floor for debate and passage—a shocking show of political malfeasance in light of the Pro-Life record achieved by Bonnen and the majority of House Republicans prior to 2019. Two priority Pro-Life bills passed the State Senate and then died in the committee process in the State House. Because of Speaker Bonnen's blatant betrayal of the Pro-Life movement, the only way to confirm whether individual representatives supported these is to score co-authorship of these two Pro-Life bills: HB 2434, companion of SB 1033, and HB 3158, companion of SB 2089. House members were repeatedly urged by constituents and by Texas Right to Life to co-author these bills and thereby signal their support. Consequently, members who failed to co-author these bills received a six-point penalty on their final score for each Pro-Life priority bill they failed to co-author.

  • May 5, 2020 the Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box
    May 5, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Delivered via Email Dear Governor Abbott, The ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic has created a situation in which regular polling location practices in Texas would not fall along health and safety guidelines laid out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We have considered the needs of our constituents during this crisis: their restricted mobility, their reduced income, and their health concerns. Therefore, we would like to recommend the following steps to adapt our election systems and processes during this pandemic to ensure every eligible voter in Texas has an opportunity to cast a ballot in the upcoming primary runoff election and in the November general election. We must create a plan to allow Texans to fully exercise their constitutional rights safely, while ensuring every voter has full faith and trust in the electoral process. As members of the Texas House of Representatives, we are following closely the ongoing pandemic and federal and state responses. We understand that the recent federal stabilization package allocated $400 million to support states in preparing and adapting their elections to the challenges posed by the novel coronavirus. We understand that of the $400 million, approximately $24.4 million will be allocated to Texas, and with a required 20% match by the state, the minimum amount Texas will dedicate to this effort is about $29.3 million. The funding allocation from Congress was created to help us prepare for and respond to the coronavirus’s impact on our elections.
