Every Texan has one state representative and one state senator. They vote on every bill that reaches the floor, and they pay the most attention to people who live in their district.
Statewide leaders
Two statewide officials decide a lot about which bills move. They hear from people statewide, so a short message about one specific bill works best.
Governor
Greg Abbott
Signs or vetoes every bill that passes, can name emergency items lawmakers may act on early, and alone can call special sessions.
Most useful after a bill passes both chambers, through the veto deadline 20 days after the session ends.
