A Recap of Special Session

Dear Friends,

The first called Special Session of the 87th Texas Legislature is nearly concluded and I am proud that the Texas Senate has accomplished the agenda the Governor set forth for the Legislature.

However ...

Regardless of the swift action taken by the Texas Senate, this legislation remains unfinished as the House Democrats left the state to lobby Congress to outsource state election law to the federal government. Governor Abbott has pledged to call a second special session almost immediately upon the conclusion of the first special session and I am confident that when the Texas House meets their quorum requirements, the Texas Legislature will take action on important unfinished business.

I am committed to "Listen, Learn, and Lead" and the goal of this newsletter is to keep you informed while also providing an opportunity for you to share your thoughts with me. As always, contact me if I can assist you in any way.

Sincerely,

Senator Angela Paxton
Senate District 8
