If you haven’t followed me during previous legislative sessions, my #1 priority is to keep you informed about what’s happening in Austin from January to June. Over the last few sessions, we’ve seen the Republicans in Texas embrace fascism and hate politics. 2025 will likely be no different. However, Democrats are not hopeless. Some things can be done to slow down and obstruct the GOP’s priorities. Let’s talk about what we should expect and what you can do to help.
Here are the important dates we’re watching:
November 12, 2024: Legislators can start filing bills for the 89th Session.
January 14, 2025: The 89th Legislative Session begins.
March 14, 2025: The last day Legislators can file bills.
June 2, 2025: The 89th Legislative Session ends.
After the election, here is the makeup of the Texas Senate and House:
Senate: 20 (R) / 11 (D)
House: 88 (R) / 62 (D)
