I am honored the @TTUSystem Regents have expressed confidence in me and I’m excited about the future of the Texas Tech University System. Texas Tech is the tip of the spear for the future of higher education—leading in academics, athletics, and innovation. The world will continue to see the groundbreaking solutions and unmatched potential coming from this system.
Over the past six years, no university system in Texas has taken more bold steps forward. Serving as Chairman of the Senate Education Committee and the Budget Subcommittee has been the honor of a lifetime—especially to help deliver that success for Texas Tech and its regional universities. I feel very blessed to have been considered for the role of Chancellor. There is no greater purpose I would consider than working to make generational changes that transform the lives of young Texans for decades to come. Chancellor Tedd Mitchell has been an outstanding leader for the system for many years and I look forward to carrying his legacy forward. @TexasTech @AngeloState @MSUTexas @TTUHSC @TTHealthElPaso

Proud to share the stage with @tedcruz after an incredible victory and decisive win last night —that was more like a mandate! Ted won his reelection effort in 2018 by 215,000 votes. Last night he won by 1 million! The United States Senate is better off with Ted Cruz holding people and government accountable and that will always be what’s best for Texas!

Austin, Texas—Breaking: Senate Bill 838, Alyssa's Law is headed to Governor Abbott's desk to become law! Alyssa's law will equip all Texas classrooms with silent panic alerts for teachers to communicate in real-time with law enforcement. In times of crisis, every minute matters, and this law will provide Texas schools with a common-sense tool to keep classrooms safe. I want to thank @repthierry146 for her hard work and leadership on this bill, and for the many educators and law enforcement who have advocated for Alyssa's Law. #txlege #schoolsafety

School Choice Derangement Syndrome is real. First, it was a 'voucher scheme.' Then a 'scam.' Oh wait—people hate billionaires? Let’s blame them! Still not sticking? Time to scare the parents and teachers. And when all else fails... just call it racist! Opponents of school choice will throw any nonsense at the wall to prevent meaningful education reforms. Why are people who claim to be passionate about education so terrified of giving Texas families options? #txlege #SchoolChoice #sb2

Proud to stand with @codyc64 on this. As the Senate author of Texas’ #NIL law, I know firsthand that ALL student athletes deserve real solutions—not half measures THAT LEAVE MANY ATHLETES BEHIND. At the state level, the Texas legislature delivered reforms that protect opportunity and strengthen college athletics.
The kind of division we’re seeing now—from programs that have what they need and want to maintain the status quo—doesn’t send the right signal. It actively works to leave behind student athletes who rightfully deserve a seat at the table.
It only distracts from the real work ahead. We need a reset that prioritizes fairness, preserves opportunity, and delivers lasting solutions. College athletics is one of America’s greatest institutions, and it deserves nothing less than our best efforts to protect and preserve it for generations to come. Anything less compromises the integrity of college athletics—and the dreams of young Texans who hope to be part of it.
The @SEC ran this TV ad over the weekend, thar provides a link to a website. The ad and the website make many false claims, the most egregious being that the SCORE Act, in its current form, is supported by every D1 conference in America. This is NOT true. In fact, the large majority of conferences and their members (including many members of the Power 4) believe that the SCORE Act needs to be amended and modified so that women’s sports, Olympic sports, smaller schools, and the Student Athletes can be protected and represented in the final solution.
Yes, the SCORE Act is a good start, and we are all grateful that DC is finally paying attention to the existential issues facing college sports, but we ALL need to come together (Big Schools, Small Schools, Women’s Sports, Olympic Sports AND the Student Athletes),to come up with a compromised and comprehensive solution that works for the betterment of the entire system - not just major college football. 500,000 Student Athletes and hundreds of communities are depending on us! Deception and dishonesty, as displayed through this @SEC ad, only drive a wedge between what we were hopeful was becoming a constructive and productive conversation. Let’s get this discussion back on track and work together to find the right solutions that will preserve the Great American Institution of College Athletics!!

Congratulations to the State Board of Education for advancing a modern, 21st-century curriculum for Texas students. This achievement is made possible because of #HB1605, which I passed alongside @BradBuckleyDVM last session. I'm grateful to the SBOE members who supported this critical program that will serve millions of Texas students.
This new curriculum not only provides Texas students with advanced, grade-level resources but also equips classroom teachers with a valuable, time-saving tool for lesson planning.
With a majority of Texas students currently struggling to meet grade-level expectations in math, reading, and other critical subjects, this gold-standard curriculum is a crucial step toward closing the gap and ensuring our students succeed. Millions of Texas students depend on it. #txlege

With incredible sadness, I must say that Charlie Kirk was a wonderful human being and man of faith. He understood the heartbeat of America’s youth and built a movement that empowered the next generation to shape our nation’s future. His passion and conviction inspired countless young people to stand firm in their beliefs and actively engage in civic life. What an incredible American treasure.
Our colleges and universities must remain strongholds of free speech—where all voices, including conservative voices are welcomed, where every student’s perspective is respected, and ideas can be debated without fear. Violence has no place on our campuses and will never silence the voices of America’s future.

Texas teachers are the best in the nation, and they deserve better. Last session, the Texas Teacher Bill of Rights was killed in the House, but it’s coming back—stronger than ever.
Thanks to @GovAbbott for making teacher pay an emergency item this time around. In the coming days, I’ll refile the Texas Teacher Bill of Rights to deliver real results for educators:
✅ Billions in across-the-board teacher pay raises
✅ Double funding for the Teacher Incentive Allotment, putting Teachers on the path to making $100,000
✅ Free Pre-K for teachers’ kids
✅ More classroom control & stronger contract protections
✅State-funded liability insurance for teachers—so they no longer have to rely on teacher unions that automatically deduct dues from their paychecks
Some unserious lawmakers will say this isn’t enough—but this is historic funding and generational protections for teachers. Texas teachers deserve results, not more politics. Let’s get this done. #txlege

Austin, Texas— On October 7th, Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists. For 40 days, Hamas has held 240 innocent hostages captive. Today, at the Texas Capitol I had the opportunity to meet 3 of their family members and hear their first-hand accounts of the brutality of these attacks. Nir Shani’s son Amit is a hostage, Ella Shani, his niece lost her father in the attack, and Daniel Lifshitz’s grandparents were both taken hostage. His grandmother was recently released. I appreciate them coming to tell their stories and advocate for the release of their loved ones.
My friend, Livia Link-Raviv, the Israeli Consul General was also in attendance and reinforced that Israel has no stronger friend than Texas. As Texans, we always stand with Israel, and especially in this war against terror. #StandWithIsrael #txlege

Austin, Texas—Today, I had the honor of presiding over the Texas Senate as we unanimously passed Senate Resolution 15 commemorating January 27th as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This solemn occasion reaffirms our commitment to "never forget" the atrocities of the Holocaust and to educate future generations. Texas stands resolutely with Israel and remains steadfast in ensuring the security and survival of their people. #txlege

Every family that has made the decision to leave CA or NY came to Texas because they see a future for their children to succeed. They see communities that aren’t apologizing for their success or faith. #txlege #inauguration

Let's be clear about what was said at yesterday's hearing in congress. Texas Democrats misled everyone claiming that voter-backed legislation in #txlege makes it harder for minorities to vote. Instead, the opposite is true - our legislation makes it easy to vote & hard to cheat.
