Early voting in Texas’ primary elections starts today. The CLC encourages all @TexasBaptists who are entitled to vote to exercise their right to do so. Here is some helpful information about the election process.

In response to this evening’s tragic shooting at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump.
It’s #electionday in Texas!
Scripture informs us to seek the welfare of others and to do what is good for those around us. Voting is one means of showing a Christ-like concern for the well-being of others.
Take some time and go vote today! #govote #vote
The CLC has put together different resources speaking to our Texas Baptist family about ways to pray and support during the Israel-Hamas War.

Earlier today, we filed a complaint with @KenPaxtonTX’s office regarding improper advertisements for the Texas Lottery. It was an extraordinary step, but one we ultimately felt was necessary.
It’s not too late to sing up and join us for our Advocacy Day this Thursday. We are going to learn about key issues facing the Texas Legislature and then visit lawmakers at the Capitol. Hope to see you there!

The CLC is glad to see HB 727 pass the to 3rd reading! The bill would prohibit a death penalty sentence when the capitol offense is committed by those with certain severe mental illnesses. Thank you @RepToniRoseTX and @leachfortexas. We support this bill!
Thank you @DonnaHowardTX for filing this important bill. The Christian Life Commission supports this bill. On to the Senate!
Texas could remove sales taxes for a multitude of feminine hygiene and child care products including tampons, diapers, maternity clothes and breast pump supplies. The House gave initial approval to the bill today, reports @eklib #txlege

Our CLC team is grateful to our director of hunger and care, Dr. Irene Gallegos, as she leads us in response to this tragedy. Through partnerships with organizations like @BaptistWorld we are able to meet more needs than we’d ever be able to do alone.
The Texas Baptist Hunger Offering is joining with Baptist World Alliance to raise funds to provide critical resources and aid to meet the needs of those injured and displaced by the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Learn more at: bit.ly/3lDyg7L
/1 Yesterday, for the first time in our history, the CLC opposed the budget for the Texas Lottery Commission during a senate finance committee hearing. We did this because the Texas Lottery Commission allowed off-shore/out-of-state companies to sell lottery tickets on phones.
Our Director of Ethics and Justice makes a compelling argument for the Snuggie!
My boss said we could "dress comfortably" for our in person meeting today, as we plan out the rest of 2023...
and I took that personally.
