my email to Rep. Joe Straus

Rep. Straus,

As you prepare for the upcoming special session, I just want to thank you for your decisions earlier in the year on the proposed "bathroom bill", and I hope you will continue in the same manner in the future. I hope the legislature can reach a compromise that is not damaging to the well-being of transgender students. Even more so, I hope the legislature will focus on the much more important school funding situation that desperately needs to be resolved. I'm so grateful for all you have done already on these issues, and I want to encourage you to keep at it! It's nice to see that Texas has at least one Representative who is doing the right thing. Thank you so much for your hard work!

Very Sincerely,
[redacted]
