  • JUSTIN HOLLAND Total Pro-Life Score

    JUSTIN HOLLAND Total Pro-Life Score

    JUSTIN HOLLAND Total Pro-Life TEXAS HOUSE DISTRICT 33 Score: (R-ROCKWALL) Anti-Life Voted Pro-Life Voted Anti-Life 60% 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.

    April 29, 2020 the Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box

    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

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.

    Manny Ramirez Announces Candidacy for Tarrant County Commissioner

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: June 16, 2021 CONTACT: Craig Murphy PHONE: 817-845-0111 EMAIL: [email protected] MANNY RAMIREZ ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR TARRANT COUNTY COMMISSIONER Fort Worth Police Officers Association President, Manny Ramirez, today announced he will be a candidate for Tarrant County Commissioner in the 4th Precinct. Ramirez is a 15-year veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department. Ramirez’ leadership was vital in the negotiation of a solution to a $1.6 billion pension crisis, with no negative impact to retirees or taXpayers. Manny led the charge in Fort Worth and in Austin to protect all Texans from government overreach. Ramirez is the co-founder of a successful construction company and was appointed by Greg Abbott to serve on the Board of Directors of the TeXas DMV. “Northwest Tarrant County has fallen behind in both critical infrastructure projects and valuable business developments,” said Ramirez. “Every day our roads get more congested, our schools get more crowded, and our public safety system is stretched thinner. To successfully manage our exponential growth, we must have new leaders ready to solve these problems.” Manny is a husband, a father, a police officer, a businessman, and a steadfast Christian conservative. “As Tarrant County moves into the 21st century, we must protect TeXas values, honor those who came before us, and cast a clear vision for the future. I am looking forward to bringing this incredible track record of success to the Tarrant County Commissioners Court.” Ramirez announces his candidacy with endorsements of key local conservatives including: Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, State Senator Drew Springer, and State Representatives Craig Goldman, Tony Tinderholt, Matt Krause, Phil King, and David Cook.
