Has San Antonio suffered from a lack of clout in Austin since former House Speaker Joe Straus retired?I think there is something to be said for having the home court advantage.

Texas Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer conducts a news conference with members of the Texas House Democratic Caucus in August 2021. The representatives went to Washington in an attempt to deny state Republicans a quorum to pass election legislation.What’s your pitch to keep other members from leaving, given how challenging the last session was for Democrats? How will this session be different?What I think our job is, and what my No. 1 job is, is to keep the policy down the center lane.
That being said, it isn’t a nuclear option. And there are other options. I think it’s our job and it’s my job to continue is to remind people why we’re there. There’s a whole lot we agree on as Republicans and Democrats when it comes to moving this state forward. And I think that if we prioritize on working on those issues that bring us together, then we’re always going to think twice about working on issues that will divide us and separate us.
