Stop Trump’s redistricting power grab

Ad copy

Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are threatening to arrest me and remove me from office for leaving Texas and breaking quorum with my House Democratic colleagues to stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. I will do whatever it takes to stand up for my constituents and stand up for the people of Texas, but I need your help. Can you add your name and say you're with me? Your support helps send a powerful message that this power grab will not succeed.
