Texas can't afford to take critical infrastructure security on the honor system. At the Senate Business & Commerce hearing, ERCOT acknowledged that companies largely self-attest compliance with supply chain security requirements, and there's little independent verification. When it comes to our electric grid, trust is important. Verification is essential. Protecting Texas infrastructure isn't just an energy issue - it's a national security issue.

This day, #June4th marks the anniversary of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre. I have stood in Tiananmen Square. Today, there will be no public remembrance in Communist China for the students and citizens who lost their lives while peacefully demanding freedom and reform. There will be no official moment of silence, no public gathering, and no opportunity to openly challenge the government. Their sacrifice reminds us never to take our freedoms for granted. As Americans, we are blessed with the rights of free speech, free assembly, and the ability to petition our government without fear. Let us remember those who stood for liberty and give thanks for the freedoms we continue to enjoy in this country.

After 20 years of weak, ineffective representation under Hubert Vo, Democrat voters have now nominated a candidate who offers more of the same failed direction for HD149. Our district deserves better than absent leadership, rising costs, neglected infrastructure, and politicians who show up only during election season. Darlene Breaux may have replaced Hubert Vo on the ballot, but she has not presented a serious plan to solve the problems families and small businesses face every day. This race is about accountability, public safety, affordability, infrastructure, and leadership that actually shows up and gets results. Republicans are united, energized, and ready to compete hard this November to bring practical, common-sense leadership back to HD149 and keep Texas strong. JOIN US! bennettforstaterep.com/

After more than two decades in the Texas House, state Rep. Hubert Vo lost his Democratic primary runoff to challenger @DarleneBreauxTX. Breaux will now face Republican @BennettForTexas in November. #txlege thetexan.news/elections/2026…

Today is Election Day! The runoff is your opportunity to help shape the future of Harris County and Texas. Vote for strong, prepared Republican candidates from the top to the bottom of the ballot so we can unify, build momentum, and compete strong in November. Let’s get Harris County back on track!

I just finished reading Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, a historical novel about the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. This Memorial Day, I think about my family who fought on both sides of this conflict both believing that God was on their side, both believing that they were fighting for their freedom. One side, however, was also fighting for the freedom of the slaves in our country. This Memorial Day. I remember those of my family that have fought in wars from the American Revolution to now and I’m thankful that all men are free under the laws of this country. I think about the decisions that must be made in the upcoming Texas Legislative session, and I pray I have the courage to live up to those that have gone before me. To be willing to risk my life and my fortune to that end. May we all have that courage.

Appreciated the opportunity to join @VIETVNetwork last night for a great conversation about the future of HD149, public safety, affordability, infrastructure, and the issues impacting our communities. The program will be rebroadcast this weekend, so tune in and learn more about the campaign and the practical, solutions-focused approach we’re building for West Houston! 📺Channel Information: • Over-the-Air: 57.11 • DirecTV: 2036 • Xfinity: 3131 ⏰Saturday: 8 PM ⏰Sunday: 9 AM

Texas cannot afford to wait until the next crisis to strengthen the grid. We need practical, long-term solutions that increase reliable power generation and reduce strain on the system. One approach discussed in Austin: incentivizing large data centers and major users to bring their own power and contribute excess generation back to the grid. Reliable energy infrastructure is essential for Texas families, businesses, and our future growth. That's one of the goals I'll work to accomplish as the next State Representative for House District 149.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Governor Abbott endorses @BennettForTexas for House District 149. Dave Bennett is committed to strengthening public safety and lowering the cost of living for West Houston. With Bennett, HD 149 will have a common-sense leader.

Appreciated the opportunity to join the “Let’s Go Vote” Candidate Forum with Long Nguyen, Dr. Lily Truong, and @harriscountyrp Chair @cindySiegel5 to discuss the issues impacting our communities. Strong conversation around public safety, affordability, infrastructure, and the future of HD149. I’ll continue showing up, listening, and working directly with the communities we serve to deliver practical solutions and accountable leadership.

Honored to join pastors, faith leaders, candidates, and grassroots activists from across Texas this morning at the @TexasValues Pastoral Brunch, including Houston's own "Mattress Mack"! Strong conversations centered on faith, family, freedom, and the importance of principled leadership as we continue building momentum toward November. Encouraging to see so many Texans united around strengthening our communities, supporting one another, and working together to keep Texas strong for the next generation!

Energy reliability is a critical issue for Texas. We need to get serious about strengthening dispatchable power that keeps the grid running when it matters most. That means valuing reliable energy correctly and taking practical steps to stabilize costs for Texas families. Learn more about how we're working for House District 149! bennettforstaterep.com/

House District 149 is one of the most diverse and hard-working communities in Harris County, and every resident deserves consistent, accountable representation in Austin. I’m committed to earning your vote, listening to your priorities, and delivering practical solutions that strengthen public safety, lower the cost of living, and improve infrastructure across our district.

Honored to stand with Houston’s Vietnamese community in commemorating the Fall of Saigon. What began as hardship and displacement has become a story of resilience, growth, and lasting contribution to our city. Over the past 50 years, this community has helped shape Houston into a stronger, more vibrant place, built on hard work, faith, and a commitment to freedom. We stand together in remembering the past and in supporting those who seek opportunity, stability, and the ability to build a better future for the next generation.

Had a great time with Houston’s Vietnamese community at the Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day, U.S. 250th celebration, and Crawfish Festival! I sat down with Lan Vu of Phố Bolsa TV @phobolsatv to talk about the priorities driving this campaign; public safety, affordability, and accountable leadership for our communities. Strong turnout, strong values, and a shared commitment to getting results.

Spent time at the Viet-Cajun Crawfish Festival at the Vietnamese Community Center, a great celebration of culture, community, and the traditions that make West Houston strong. It was encouraging to see the pride in both Vietnamese heritage and America’s 250th, and the shared commitment to working together, staying engaged, and building toward November!

Appreciated the opportunity to speak at the SD17 Conservative Forum last night and engage directly on the issues that matter to our communities. We had a strong discussion on Texas grid reliability and what still needs to be done to strengthen our infrastructure. One comment I heard repeatedly stood out: people are ready to support an engineer focused on solving problems, not a politician. That’s exactly the approach I’ll bring to representing HD149.

Join us this Thursday, April 9, at the SD17 Conservative Forum! It's an important opportunity to engage directly on the issues impacting our communities and the path forward to the runoff election in May and the the general election in November. I’ll be providing an update on Texas electric grid reliability, including recent findings from the Senate Business & Commerce Committee and what still needs to be addressed to strengthen our energy infrastructure and protect our communities. This is a critical issue that requires clear understanding and serious, solutions-focused leadership.

Spent time today with the Republican Women's Club Of Katy at the Primary Runoff Candidates Forum meeting with voters, candidates, and local leaders from across the district. Strong conversations around public safety, affordability, and infrastructure, and a shared focus on doing the work required to compete and deliver results in November!
