I see Don Davis of #NC01 on this list. Now, he was on the North Carolina State Senate when #HB2 passed (he, along with he rest of the Democratic caucus, did not vote on #HB2), so I guess he didn't learn his damn lesson.

Finally, thank you to every Texan who has followed this legislation through its process and provided input along the way. I will always continue to fight to fully fund our public schools, our teachers, and support staff.

🆕 Today, we call on members of the Texas House to concur on Senate changes to school funding bill #HB2, despite some lingering concerns.
The version of HB 2 passed by the Senate still does not bring schools back to 2019 funding levels, but it does make long overdue investments in educator pay. 1/🧵

Called Senator Hancock, Lt Gov Patrick, and Gov Abbott on #HB2 to increase public school funding.
The worker for Hancock said they have not discussed HB2 in the office and does not know where he stands.
Staffer Lt Gov said she is not sure his stance but will find out.
Abbott went to VM.

Even with a state budget surplus, Greg Abbott continues to cut funds going to public schools. Texan public funds are for all Texan families, NOT the wealthy few. #txlege #HB2
#HB2 floor debate has begun, the House’s school funding priority bill.
The bill raises the basic allotment by only $395, which does not makeup for inflation since 2019.
The bill also includes important bilingual education & special ed funding.
