1. I've been especially impressed with Texas State Congressman James Talarico

serving Williamson County. Rep. Talarico earned degrees from The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University. He taught middle school on the West Side of San Antonio before becoming the Central Texas Executive Director for Reasoning Mind, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping classrooms with innovative technology. He currently serves as the youngest member of the Texas Legislature.

We have some good Democrats in Texas and hopefully more to follow in the future.

2. Thank god SB 1029 did not pass

And it doesn’t loom like a priority either. So maybe we will luck out and it won’t be brought up via special session.

I hope for the full two years before that comes up.
