State Representative for HD46 in the #txlege. First Black woman elected to Austin City Council. Proud mother of three boys and advocate for the vulnerable.
While on my morning walk in the Mueller neighborhood, my DPS escort, who was forced upon me to track my every movement, threatened to arrest me. He lost me on the trail, got angry about it, and made a scene in front of my constituents on the trail. #txlege

This is also why I stand with my colleague @NicoleCollier95, who has refused to go along with this charade and is still on the House floor 24 hours later.
We will not be intimidated by this, and history will remember this.

While a little shaken up from the incident, I remain undeterred by this intimidation tactic by House Republicans to have a 24/7 state police presence to intimidate me and my colleagues.

This is a 1st for me - but we just cancelled a joint event in Pflugerville w/ @JoeBiden campaign, @AustinYoungDems, & more, due to security reasons. Unfortunately, Pro-Trump Protestors have escalated well beyond safe limits. Sorry to all who looked forward to this fun event.
Armed Trump trolls harassing Biden Bus on I-35, ramming volunteer vehicles & blocking traffic for 40 mins. Eric Trump took to FB to incite this violence.
At least the Trump hearse is appropriate given the 200K+ Americans who have died due to his incompetence.

At @BetoORourke’s rally in Pflugerville, he called for automatic and same day voter registration to guarantee everyone can participate in our democracy. I filed those exact bills at the #txlege last session, and I will get them on his desk to sign in the next one!
I’m heading to Chicago right now to stop this rigged-redistricting process.
We can’t allow Donald Trump and Greg Abbott to steal power from the people with these proposed congressional maps.
We are continuing to hold the line, no matter what. #txlege
Today, @realDonaldTrump supporters followed the Biden bus throughout central Texas to intimidate Biden supporters. They ran into a person's car, yelling curse words and threats. Don't let bullies win, vote.
After leaving @RolandForTexas' press conference demanding gun reform, I was greeted by passionate advocates from @MomsDemand.
I'm saddened by what happened in Allen this past weekend, and we must act now to advance bills like HB 2744 that are still pending. #txlege
Hey y’all, Team Sheryl here - this thread has grown so dang much, we’ve got to mute it. Don’t let the news scare or intimidate you - if you haven’t voted yet, make sure you’ve got your plan to vote on Election Day. If you still have a mail ballot, don’t mail it, but drop it off.
There is nothing in the Governor’s proclamation regarding teacher pay raises and an increase in pub ed funding. Instead, his private school voucher scheme will ultimately help defund our public schools altogether.
I refuse to budge in my opposition to vouchers. #txlege
I am proud to have earned the @MomsDemand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction! I am committed to common sense solutions for gun safety, from universal background checks to funding gun violence prevention studies. #NotOneMore#HD46#txlege
