Congratulations Lauren Ashley Simmons on defeating anti-LGBTQ+ bigot Shawn Thierry! The people of #HD146 deserved better and you have delivered. Harold Dutton Jr should be next to be defeated. I hope Texas Democrats are working hard to find a credible challenger to him.

In the Texas runoffs last night, HD146 Democratic Incumbent Shawn Nicole Thierry lost her nomination to Lauren Ashley Simmons in this plurality-black district

Thierry was an outspoken anti-LGBT member who voted with the GOP on many bills. Simmons is openly LGBT herself!

State Rep. Christina Morales has endorsed our campaign! Christina Morales is a progressive champion in the legislature and serves with my opponent. I am honored she has placed her confidence in me. Thank you, Rep.! #HD146 #txlege

In #HD146 , state Rep. Shawn Thierry, D-Houston, was defeated by primary challenger Lauren Ashley Simmons, denying the Houston Democrat a fifth term after she sided with Republicans last year on a handful of bills opposed by the LGBTQ+ community. #txlege

Openly-homophobic Democratic Texas Representative voted out in her primary 🥰 also disappointed my home district #HD95 Representative Nicole Collier still supported her but that’s for another day… #HD146 #txlege

Prayers up for the person who experienced the death in the family. Also, this is Shawn Thierry's responsibility, not her staff's. She's had over a week to get a temp in to file the report. It'll be interesting to finally see who donated to her run-off effort. #txlege #HD146

Congratulations to Representative-Elect Lauren Ashley Simmons! I was elated to speak with her tonight and congratulate her team on a hard-fought victory on behalf of ALL Texans. Can’t wait to see the amazing things Lauren Ashley Simmons will accomplish in office for #HD146

I am so proud of this endorsement. State Rep. Ann Johnson is the gold standard when it comes to Democrats who work across the aisle to improve lives WITHOUT compromising our core values. Thank you, Rep. Johnson! #HD146 #txlege

Looping back on this — looks like Thierry never filed her campaign finance report. (Also haven't seen any public statement yet acknowledging her loss in the #HD146 Dem runoff last night) #txlege

No one fights harder for our public schools than State Rep. Alma Allen, and I am incredibly honored to have earned her support. I have so much admiration for the work she does to serve our community. Thank you Rep. Allen! #HD146 #txlege #ProtectPublicEd

VERY proud to have earned the support of Shawn Thierry’s colleagues! Help is on the way from District 146 in the battle to stop Greg Abbott and MAGA Republicans. But first, we have to win! Please VOTE EARLY now through Friday! #HD146 #txlege

An important message to soak in from the new rep-elect for #HD146

Happy #MayDay ! Today we celebrate the workers of the world who have fought – and continue to fight – for dignity and justice on the job. In Texas, I stand with working people in the fight against the unjust and hateful policies of Greg Abbott and MAGA Republicans. #HD146 #txlege
