that these districts are protected districts under the existing voting rights, even though it's been challenged, that case law still exists. we have the right to exist as the 18th district, the 9th district and the 30th district by court law, federal court law that has not been overturned so don't give up, but yet don't follow the despots. listen to voices that are out in the streets, protesting with me, women, men, boys and girls, and of course our people, our members of the community of color. and so, that is the new texas. we still exist. but we have been overcome by the loud voices, and of course the wrong voices. please view these as the wrong voices and i might say, nicole, my district is on the chopping block because i have not been silenced. i've not been silenced during the pandemic, when we were slow to react, when our state continued to be a hot spot, because our governor refused to have masks, did not want to mandate vaccines, didn't want schools to do anything to help
