Reflecting on Work Undone Despite Opportunity in Texas Politics


Listen Later

Issues Left Outstanding
Despite the Legislature convening four separate times, many Republican Party of Texas legislative priorities (as well as legislation addressing vaccine mandates) remain undone.
Republican Party of Texas Legislative priorities left unaddressed:
Protecting children from gender modification
Abolition of abortion
Texas Heartbeat Act passed and is now law, but it still allows for abortions up to a certain point.
Monument protection
School choice for all
Ban on taxpayer-funded lobbying
The issue of prohibiting vaccine mandates also remains addressed, despite the fact that the issue was added to the agenda for the third special legislative session, executive orders issued by TX Gov. Greg Abbott, and judicial action on the issue.
All of this happened, despite the fact that Republicans control all statewide offices and majorities in the Texas Senate and Texas House of Representatives.
