IDEOLOGY and PARTISANSHIP in the 87Th (2021) REGULAR SESSION of the TEXAS LEGISLATURE

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. -

Representative Dan Huberty
February 22, 2013 | Volume 3 | Issue 7 Representative "It's for the kids" Dan Huberty This past week at the Texas Capitol was all about the children of this great State. We started out slow, convening at 2 PM on Monday and heading right into the 83rd Session's first Congratulatory and Memorial Calendar. Once all Resolutions were adopted, the House adjourned. I arrived in Austin later than usual this day after participating in the Annual Humble ISD Golf Classic at Kingwood Country Club. It was a very successful event and raised money to support the district's student athletes. Tuesday brought the first, of what I assume will be many, very lengthy House Public Education Committee hearings. We were called to order at 2 PM, and did not adjourn until midnight. With the hot topic of testing and student assessment on the docket, our very first bill to hear, HB 5, had more CAPITOL OFFICE than 100 witnesses registered to testify. After more than 8 hours of Capitol Extension E2.722 testimony on HB 5, we covered the remaining seven bills set for hearing that P.O. Box 2910 day, including my own HB 224. I will cover this more in the newsletter Austin, TX 78768 below, but both of these pieces of legislation will be great for the students of Phone: 512.463.0520 Texas. DISTRICT OFFICE 4501 Magnolia Cove This week, we saw a large amount of visitors from across Texas, but Suite 201 specifically brought students, and House District 127 constituents, from Kingwood, TX 77345 Baylor University, the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor and Texas Tech Phone: 281.360.9410 University. -
