Yet another sad tale of budget cuts in Tarrant schools. Research shows vibrant libraries boost student performance. Our #txlege is sitting on a rainy-day fund. Using some to bolster school libraries would indicate a seriousness about improving outcomes. star-telegram.com/news/local/edu…
Happy 140th Anniversary to the @CityOfArlington! From humble beginnings to a bustling hub of entertainment, here's to many more years of growth, community, and prosperity! #ArlingtonTx #Precinct2
Not to quote Brookings, but “Counties with higher detention rates also experience higher poverty rates and lower employment rates.” It’s not just morally dubious incarcerating folks at high rates pre-trial in the Tarrant County Jail. It’s bad economics. brookings.edu/articles/the-e…
The District Attorney’s efforts to retry the Crystal Mason case is an attempt to keep Tarrant County in the national news on the disproven issue of widespread voter fraud. Read my statement below:
Out of an abundance of caution surrounding the tragic incident at Bowie HS yesterday, @TCCollege Southeast campus in #Arlington was closed, including the @tarrantelection polling site. All polling locations are running as usual today for voters anywhere in the county.

Like you, I’m monitoring the situation with Bowie High School. Reunification is happening at the 1001 E Division St at the AISD Athletics and Aquatics Center. Follow @ArlingtonPD for updates.

On this #EarthDay, I'm thrilled to announce that the @EPA has awarded nearly $250 million to the Texas Solar for All Coalition, of which @TarrantCountyTX is a member, for clean energy projects benefiting disadvantaged communities. Read my statement below:
This marks the fifth death in our jail since the beginning of 2024. I am concerned about the quantity. I will work quickly to get details. star-telegram.com/news/local/cri…
Big thanks to the 817 Podcast for having me on last weekend to discuss the importance of paying attention to county government. It's vital that we all stay informed and engaged in local politics. Check out this episode on your favorite podcast platforms! open.spotify.com/episode/2wMm0k…
My heart goes out to the women in these articles. They are already having to make impossible choices. Texas Health & Human Services Commission shouldn’t impose a new and unnecessary rule that makes it harder to care for those they love. texastribune.org/2024/04/19/tex…
It is great to see democracy in action and TAD candidates presenting their ideas about fixing what has been a troubled body of late. I encourage all Tarrant residents to educate themselves on the issues and candidates in this race. #tarrantcounty fortworthreport.org/2024/04/17/tar…
Here is my response to O'Hare's comments. youtube.com/watch?si=L9bYG…
Earlier column on Tarrant County commissioners’ failure to hire or appoint a woman to any prominent job or role. They also did away with required anti-harassment training. star-telegram.com/opinion/bud-ke…

@CommALSimmons @wfaa @NBCDFW @FOX4 @dallasnews @startelegram @FortWorthReport @TexasTribune @JasmineForUS @ChrisGTurner @BudKennedy This has KEN PAXTON all over it and Tarrant County DA Phil Sorrel is trying to “justify” the expense of his, Tim O’Hare’s and Sheriff Waybourn’s “Election Integrity Unit.” They are going to psychologically torture that poor woman! She has gone thru ENOUGH! Waste of taxpayer $$!

@LoneStarLeft @TimothyOHare @CommALSimmons Go get him🥰👏🏻👏🏻
Last week, @TimothyOHare came after MY county commissioner @CommALSimmons, attacking the only Black woman on the court, saying “sit down and be quiet.” Tim, you should know that WE THE PEOPLE of Tarrant County will not sit down & we will not be quiet. We’re coming for your seat.
