RESOURCE GUIDE: TEXAS HOUSE MEMBERS – 88th Legislature (2023)

 

Be prepared for every CALL TO ACTION on bills for and against public education and for bills about the FIRST COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) for TRS retirees (bus drivers, support staff, counselors, cafeteria staff, custodians, FMO, teachers, librarians, police officers, sign-language interpreters, classroom aides, nurses, administrators, social workers….).in ALMOST 19 YEARS!

It is my hope that CURRENT public-ed employees realize this push for a COLA is for YOUR future retirement, too!

A few notes about this list:

ü Click on the House member’s name to go to his/her official webpage.

ü If you are not currently on Twitter, please consider signing up. It’s a great way to communicate with members of the Texas Legislature. I have included members’ username/handle and linked it for you to easily find the legislators' Twitter pages and follow them. Be sure to tag members when you want to make sure they get your tweets.

ü Thank you to the Texas Tribute for this great resource that got me started! 

ü I can make assumptions about every member’s email address, but instead, I would suggest that if a member’s email is not listed—just to be sure—you click on the member’s name on this list and send an email through the link on his/her official House page.

ü I am getting a message that House committee members have not been assigned yet. I will post the ones critical to our efforts once the assignments are posted.

If you don’t know who YOUR representatives are—at both the state and federal levels—click here to find out!

Educate yourself. Advocate!!!! Get current and former co-workers, friends, and family to join you! Remember—we won’t have another chance until 2025!!!
