Travis County and the City of Austin just held a press conference on yesterday's surge of overdoses. Here’s what we learned, and what you need to know. 🧵
ATX be aware - this is an ongoing situation. If you need resources, check with: - Austin-Travis County Emergency Management - Texas Harm Reduction - NICE Project ATX Narcan is also available in most pharmacies like HEB!

I’m thankful for the rapid response by @ATCEMS and @Austin_Police to these overdose incidents. We’re working as quickly as possible to distribute Narcan kits and will continue to educate members of the public on harm reduction strategies.

Thankful for the chance to join an evening shift with Austin Travis County EMS! ATCEMS is known nationwide for their high bar of service and innovative practices, and I’m grateful for their dedication to our city. I look forward to supporting their critical work on the dais.
I just voted for public school funding! Tuesday is the last day of early voting for the first-ever election of directors to the Travis Central Appraisal District. Vote for our public schools. Vote for Dick Lavine, Daniel Wang, and Jett Hanna!
Proud to rally for our classified workers with @EdAustin_TX! When I was in the classroom, I couldn't educate my kids without the help of bus drivers, custodians, and other support staff. From access to public transit to improved salaries, our classified workers deserve better.
Proud to meet with @UDems! UDems is filled with future leaders — and their work organizing and advocating on campus makes a difference in our community. We should always encourage young people to get involved in the issues that matter most to them.
When I was in college, one of the most impt things we did was express our views peacefully. Today UT smothered students trying to do just that. I am dismayed @UTAustin & law enforcement chose to respond to peaceful protests with force & arrests. This should never happen again.
Today, @GovAbbott and @UTAustin have violently arrested peaceful anti-war protesters at UT. As a UT Alum, I am disappointed in the administration’s disproportionate response to today's protest. Students should have the freedom to peacefully assemble without fear of violence.

I’m proud to announce the endorsement of former Austin City Council Member Mike Martinez! From the fire department to city council, Mike's decades of public service have left a strong legacy on our city. I’m so honored to have his support!
Had a blast at Preservation Austin's Homes Tour! @PreservationAtx does valuable work educating Austinites about our city's unique history. I love living in the city I was raised in — and hope that future generations can learn from Austin's past to help shape its future.
Today is the first day of early voting! ☑️ Make sure to have your government issued ID ☑️ Find your nearest polling location here: bit.ly/FindMyElection… ☑️ Voting should be easy, but when it's not call 866-OUR-VOTE & our team of voting rights experts will be ready to help!📞
Early voting for the May 4th local election starts MONDAY! Polls are open 7 AM to 7 PM. Make a plan to vote — and bring a friend with you! Find your nearest polling location at VoteTravis.com.
Happy Earth Day from D10! I spent my weekend with students from Doss Elementary learning about protecting our planet and wildlife. These students are the next generation of climate activists — and I'm so excited to see how they get involved in the fight against climate change!
Today’s the day! I’m so excited to meet with all of my neighbors and supporters at the meet-and-greet for my campaign. Thank you to former Texas Land Commissioner Garry Mauro for hosting! RSVP while you still can: secure.actblue.com/donate/4.18ash…
BREAKING: The conservative 5th Circuit Court just blocked Texas’ book ban once and for all. The government should never censor what our students learn and think. This is a free speech victory! #txlege
Tomorrow, former Texas Land Commissioner Garry Mauro is hosting a free meet-and-greet for my campaign! You won’t want to miss it — I hope to see you there! RSVP today: secure.actblue.com/donate/4.18ash…
Had a great time talking about my campaign and the communities we’re organizing with Blue Action Democrats North Austin! It’s going to take all of us to win this race — and @TXblueaction is a key force helping deliver change to our community. Thanks so much for having me!

End of a #txlege era. Live long and prosper, Curtis!
Heartened by our amazing @UTAustin students who even after all that has transpired in the past week remain committed to exercising their right to peacefully assemble in a public space on their beloved campus.
Yes! And, at SHFC, when we talk about creating more affordable workforce housing for local public sector workers, these are the kinds of folks we want to help. AISD already has some neat housing initiatives for their workforce. We want to help create even more.
Proud to rally for our classified workers with @EdAustin_TX! When I was in the classroom, I couldn't educate my kids without the help of bus drivers, custodians, and other support staff. From access to public transit to improved salaries, our classified workers deserve better.
Huh. So a much, much larger protest today. Peaceful. Just like yesterday. What's the difference: Governor Greg Abbott.
Back at UT Austin for day two of protests. This one says it is both intended to support Gaza and to condemn the police response yesterday. The crowd is at least 5x larger than the crowd that showed up yesterday at this time. Peaceful, quiet. Very little law enforcement presence.
Nice try but this isn’t about antisemitism. This is about a war that students oppose and their right to gather & protest it. These are our kids, Governor. Stop trying to bait them to serve your political ambitions.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.
The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed in my family’s blacksmith shop. We’ve been here a while and we’re not going anywhere.
@BucyForTexas @GovAbbott Don't mess with Texas, Bucy! You'll quickly FAFO... 😊😅
Voting has started for a new elected office, board member for the Travis County Central Appraisal District. The three candidates below are good people w a history of community service. Thanks to the @AFLCIO Austin Central Labor Council for the mailer! Get out and vote!
Congratulations to all of the @AustinISD seniors that have set the course for their future trough @AustinISDAVID . Way to go @LBJJags @NortheastECHS @EastsideECHS
Gotta vote in every election cuz they all matter. Thanks @TravisCoClerk, everyone doing a great job at the polls #txlege
What a beautiful day in Austin, Texas.
Nice to back on Bluebonnet Hill (@HustonTillotson) last night for @wemeasureus' Community Data Gathering Session! These essential conversations are laying the groundwork for better data to ensure the safety, health, and success of Black girls across TX✨
Even though I've always been "pro-choice," as a product of the '70s/'80s I had to unlearn all the shame and stigma associated with abortion...I can now see how it's intrinsically a part of self-determination, having control over one's life and future. Now proudly "pro-abortion".
✍️ Let's set the record straight: Abortion is not a "necessary evil" to be tolerated. It is an essential healthcare option and a positive force for bodily autonomy. It empowers people to control their futures, pursue their dreams, and live authentically. 🌈🌟🧡
Yes, Yes, and YES @Miriam4SDEC35 is the epitome of a servant leader who continues to show up and show out Every 👏🏾 Single 👏🏾Time 👏🏾
Hey y’all! 👋🏾 Today I’m proud to announce my candidacy for the State Democratic Executive Committee! 🤠 I’m running because I believe in Texas Democrats and I know a well-resourced state party can win statewide. 🗳️ Let’s do this! ✊🏾
I've known Jeffrey for almost a decade, and I can confidently say no one organizes w the veracity he does. On a campus without a College Dems chapter, Jeffrey led the voter registration & turnout. In a post-Dobbs Texas, he's joined @PPTXVotes to do HBCU organizing. (1/2)
I’m so excited to announce that I’m running for the State Democratic Executive Committee! I’m a proud Texas Democrat — and with the help of the SDEC, I know we can flip Texas and deliver victories across the state. Let me tell you why!
Anyone that followed the TX Legislature has either seen @Miriam4SDEC35 at all hours in the halls of the capitol, or seen the results of her work opposing anti-DEI bills. Miriam was youngest ED of the @txblackcaucus, @Forbes 30 under 30, & much more. So excited about this! YAY!!

The FAA will implement new airfield surveillance systems at airports to reduce the risk of serious runway incursions by improving air traffic controllers' situational awareness. Learn more about technologies improving runway safety at bit.ly/49CyYFF.
Proud to earn the @MomsDemand candidate distinction. We all want to keep our families and schools safe. Our region has lost too many children to gun violence—it’s time #HD118 has a representative who will stand with the overwhelmingly majority of Texans that support common-sense…
