My name is Georgia Keysor. I have taken the time to address this committee because I believe redistricting is an integral function of our democracy. When redistricting is used by incumbents to artificially preserve their majority, our democracy suffers. 1 The current system of closed door back room deal‐cutting partisan gerrymandering has resulted in politicians supporting policies that the vast majority of their constituents oppose, or opposing policies that the vast majority their constituents support. Case in Point? The wildly popular COVID Relief Bill. We know something like 90% of Americans support expanded background checks for gun purchases. We also know that because the gerrymandered majority GOP is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Russian funded NRA, the will of the people goes ignored. The majority of Americans support the LGBT community, a women’s right to control her own body and her destiny and the decriminalization of cannabis.

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.

  • Legislative Update
    January 29, 2021| Regular Session, Issue 3 | 87th Regular Session Every Friday, this newsletter will keep you up to speed on some of the legislation important to Texas Farm Bureau members that Austin staff are following. Please do not hesitate to contact the appropriate staff with any questions. Legislative Update Water SB 152 and companion HB 668: Relating to the regulation of groundwater conservation districts. Perry, Charles (R) and Harris, Cody (R) Summary: SB 152 and HB 668 empower landowners to protect their constitutional rights from illegal groundwater regulations. Current law does not require enough transparency or provide landowners with reasonable options to change or challenge bad regulations. If property owners are faced with an illegal regulation, they only have one option— to challenge the district’s action in court and take on the risk having to pay the district’s attorney fees. The language in SB 152 and HB 668 is currently being negotiated. The following description of the bills is based upon the current state of negotiations: 1. Requiring notice of a permit or permit amendment that will prevent a neighboring landowner from being able to drill a well on their property or drill at a particular location on their property. The local district will determine how that notice will be provided. This notice will give landowners who will be DIRECTLY affected by the district’s actions an opportunity to decide if they should participate in the permitting process to protect their right to drill a well. In some districts, spacing rules allow a neighbor to drill a well 50 feet from a property line.

  • Concerned Women for America of Texas SCORE CARD for the 84TH TEXAS LEGISLATIVE SESSION
    Concerned Women for America of Texas SCORE CARD FOR THE 84TH TEXAS LEGISLATIVE SESSION Before the session began, CWA leaders, in conversations with House and Senate leaders, expressed their desire to see family friendly legislation passed. The priorities at that time were: The Religious Liberty Amendment Taxpayer Savings Grants American Law for American Courts Strengthening Judicial By-Pass Requirements Strengthening End-of-Life Conditions UIL Homeschool Inclusion Subsequent to the opening of the session, CWA created a list of over 200 filed bills and placed them on a "Watch List." Of those it became apparent that several were of critical importance. Protecting Texas Marriage Laws Protecting Pastors Religious Freedom Protecting Adoption Agencies Religious Freedom Protecting Cities and Counties from Rogue Ordinances Protecting minors from coerced abortions This is a brief summary of the actions on those issues. CWA of Texas was actively engaged in the legislative process with each of these pieces of legislation: 1. SJR 10 and HJR 125, The Religious Liberty Amendment to the Texas Constitution. This bill would have required no signature from the Governor but ratification of the people of Texas in the fall election. The purpose of the bill was to put into our Texas constitution the essence of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed by the legislature in 1999 and signed by then Gov. Bush which reiterated the rights of the people to express their sincerely-held, religious beliefs in any venue where secular beliefs are expressed. In today’s contentious society, Christians are finding themselves persecuted and silenced for following the dictates of their conscience.

    November 8, 2019 The Honorable Greg Abbott, Governor Office of the Texas Governor P.O. Box 78711 Austin, TX 78711-2428 David Gutiérrez, Chair Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Executive Clemency Section 8610 Shoal Creek Blvd. Austin, TX 78757 re: Rodney Reed Reprieve Dear Governor Abbott, Chair Gutiérrez, and Board Members: We write to urge you to grant a reprieve to Rodney Reed. As you know, the case that put Mr. Reed on death row has been called into serious question by compelling new witness statements and forensic evidence along with evidentiary gaps that could be filled with additional investigation and testing. We appreciate how difficult decisions like this are and know how seriously you take them, but only you can postpone his execution to allow these new leads to be properly explored. One thing we often grapple with when discussing criminal justice reform is balancing justice with mercy, particularly when we consider a heinous crime. Executing Rodney Reed without certainty about his guilt erodes public trust—not only in capital punishment, but in Texas justice itself. Mr. Reed’s case recalls the sentiment then-Governor George W. Bush expressed in 1998 when he commuted the sentence against Henry Lee Lucas in the face of grave doubt about his guilt. “As a supporter of the death penalty . I feel a special obligation to make sure the State of Texas never executes a person for a crime they may not have committed,” he said. “I take this action so that all Texans can continue to trust the integrity and fairness of our criminal justice system.” Similarly, granting Mr.

  • Election 2016 Races to Watch the Power of Latino Candidates Executive Summary
    ELECTION 2016 RACES TO WATCH THE POWER OF LATINO CANDIDATES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In Election 2016, Latinos will continue their progress as leaders of their communities by seeking positions in Congress, statewide offices, and state legislatures across the nation. Latino candidates are demonstrating that they can successfully pursue seats in the executive and legislative branches of government throughout the country, where some of the most important decisions are made about the policies that affect the lives of all Americans. Additionally, Latinos are achieving new milestones in their efforts to attain full representation at the federal and state level. This Election Profile focuses on key federal and state races involving Latino candidates in the general election on November 8, 2016. Latinos are running for top offices in 38 states. The geographic diversity of Latino candidates demonstrates that Latinos are mobilizing for political progress in both the traditional Latino population centers, and in regions with emerging Latino communities such as the Plains States, the Midwest, the Deep South, and New England. Latinos in the U.S. Senate: The number of Latinos in the U.S. Senate could increase from three to five, if all competitive contenders win their bids (incumbent U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) are not up for re-election in 2016). With the partisan balance of power in the U.S. Senate at stake, two of the races are considered particularly crucial for both political parties. In Florida, incumbent U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R) faces a challenge from U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D).

Governor Dan Patrick announced the reactivation of the Senate Select Committee on Texas Ports, under the chairmanship of Senator Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe). Following the 84th Regular Session, then Chairman Creighton was selected to lead this very same committee to discuss the economic benefit of the Panama Canal expansion to Texas ports, including inland ports, and actions that would keep Texas competitive in this new era. The diverse composition of Committee members will provide unique perspectives from ports in their districts: Sen. Brandon Creighton - Chair (Ports of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Cedar Bayou) Sen. Carol Alvarado - Vice Chair (Port of Houston) Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa (Port of Corpus Christi) Sen. Lois Kolkhorst (Ports of Bay City, Calhoun, Palacios, Victoria and West Calhoun) Sen.
