Statement from Texas Senate Democrats Attending NCSL

BOSTON, MA—Today, the Texas Senate Democratic Caucus issued the following statement:

“Texas is on the frontlines of the fight for fair representation—and Texas Senate Democrats are bringing that fight to the national stage.

At this year’s National Conference of State Legislatures, our members are meeting with legal experts, community leaders and fellow lawmakers from across the country to tackle the most urgent challenges facing our communities from extreme weather emergency preparedness, access to health care and education. We are also here to raise awareness about the most urgent challenges facing our democracy, including mid-decade redistricting and voting rights.

It’s not just a Texas issue—it’s a national one. Other states like Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio and Florida are confronting the same coordinated effort to erase communities of color from the political map. We’re working side-by-side with allies to share strategies, build momentum and ensure that every voice counts.

This is about more than defending democracy—it’s about advancing it. And Texas Democrats are leading the way.

Stay tuned—there’s more action to come.”
