Rep. Penny Morales Shaw

This month, the City of Houston is opening a 222-bed homeless services hub focused on supporting treatment and development of our neighbors who need help and support. I for one, commend City Hall for taking such steps to rethink such programming.

While we are waiting for some close calls in races across Harris County - Congratulations to our newest Nominees for elected office!

With nearly 30 years of GOP majority control and shaping policy in Texas, our schools are failing students and teachers, our state faces growing water shortages and grid insecurity, and wages have not kept pace with inflation, leaving working families struggling to achieve financial stability.

Real change in Texans’ quality of life will require a more equitable balance of power,  one that restores healthy debate, accountability, and bipartisan compromise focused on the interests of all Texans.

Onwards to November!
