  • TIPRO Election Results and Analysis As the 2020 Election Cycle
    TIPRO Election Results and Analysis As the 2020 election cycle concludes and all votes are counted, we can all agree that this one will long not be forgotten. The pandemic, economic crisis and a renewed struggle for racial justice aside, more tangible factors like record fundraising totals and banner turnout numbers have created new swing districts and have had a significant impact on many hotly contested races across the state. This is also the first cycle in Texas that voters aren’t able to push a button for straight ticket voting. For the first time in almost two decades, it was anticipated that a Democratic candidate could win a statewide election in Texas, and the Texas House, controlled by Republicans since 2002, could see a Democratic takeover. It’s important to note that Republicans have not had a net gain in the House since 2014 – Democrats have picked up 15 seats since then. Texas is truly becoming a battleground state. A few highlights: TURNOUT During the extended early voting period from October 13 – 30, almost a full three weeks of Early Vote for the first time in history, 57.03 percent of registered voters cast ballots either through in- person early voting or through mail-in ballots. The overall number of early voters – 9,669,246 – broke the previous record of almost nine million (8,934,718) in the 2016 Texas General Election. That number is expected to rise as mail-in ballots continue to be delivered to elections offices, so long as they’re postmarked by November 3. One driver of increased turnout was the high numbers of voters in the state’s most populous counties, such as Harris County, where more than 1.4 million people have already voted, compared to 1.34 million TOTAL votes in the last presidential election in 2016.

  • HUGH SHINE Total Pro-Life Score
    HUGH SHINE Total Pro-Life TEXAS HOUSE DISTRICT 55 Score: (R-TEMPLE) Anti-Life Voted Pro-Life Voted Anti-Life 77% 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.

  • Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker
    Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker Texans for Public Justice Public Citizen’s Texas Office Sierra Club May 2017 Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker (2013-2016) he Texas Sunset Advisory Commission typically reviews state agencies every 12 years to determine if the agencies are efficient, need reform, or should be abolished. The Texas Railroad Commission T just underwent its third Sunset review since 2010. A hard-hitting 2013 Sunset staff report recommended the agency’s three elected commissioners should only be allowed to raise money during an 18-month period surrounding an election (instead of throughout most of their six-year terms). It also recommended that the agency develop rules to prevent informal, ex parte discussions of contested cases, and to ban commissioners from taking money from parties to contested cases. Our recent Conflicted report found that commissioners continue to take contributions from parties with pending contested cases, despite their claims that they “self-police” such conflicts. The 2016 Sunset staff report slammed the agency’s deceptive name, calling for its rechristening as the “Texas Energy Resources Commission.” It suggested that the agency’s case hearings and gas-utility rate cases could be done more professionally and transparently by the State Office of Administrative Hearings and the Public Utility Commission, respectively. In their report, Sunset staff argued that major agency changes are needed to improve pipeline safety, increase bonding requirements for new oil and gas drilling and to intensify inspection and enforcement efforts. Yet the latest report did not address commissioner fundraising conflicts.
