Securing the Border
Because the federal government has failed when it comes to securing our border, Charles Schwertner fought to pass legislation that gives law enforcement additional resources to crack down on drug cartels, terrorists and human smugglers. He also co-authored the sanctuary cities ban to keep our communities safe.
Protecting Private Property
Charles Schwertner passed landmark legislation that permanently protects the private property rights of all Texans against eminent domain abuse. For his leadership on private property rights, the Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND has endorsed Schwertner.
Defending Life and Liberty
As a constitutional conservative, Charles is a steadfast defender of our God-given constitutional rights; specifically our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He is committed to the protection of innocent human life and passed legislation that prohibits dismemberment abortions and the selling of fetal tissue.
Defending the Second Amendment
Charles Schwertner is a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment and has been “A” rated and endorsed by the NRA and Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA).
Improving Our Children’s Schools
As the father of three graduates from public schools, Charles Schwertner knows the importance of classroom excellence. He helped pass landmark public education reform that gives students and parents greater flexibility in tailoring a curriculum that supports a student’s individual interests. He also reduced the number of high-stakes, standardized tests from 15 down to 5, so teachers have more time to focus on instruction and education, rather than simply teaching to the test.
Schwertner has also fought to expand schools choice in Texas and provide parents and students with the freedom to decide the setting that best fits their educational needs.
Protecting Seniors from Abuse
As Chair of the Health and Human Services Committee, Charles Schwertner played a leading role in fighting against bad nursing homes in Texas and passed legislation to protect seniors from abuse and neglect.
Protecting Vulnerable Children
Charles Schwertner has worked to protect Texas children by increasing funding for Child Protective Services and fighting to protect children at risk of abuse or neglect.
Fighting Obamacare
Since its passage in 2009, Americans from every walk of life have come face-to-face with the stark realities of Obamacare: millions of health insurance policies cancelled, skyrocketing premiums, rising deductibles, and the frustration felt by anyone attempting to purchase coverage through HealthCare.gov. Obamacare’s top-down, Washington-first mentality has been an unmitigated disaster for the American healthcare system. You deserve the right to make your own healthcare choices, and no government has the right to interject itself between you and your doctor.
As your voice in the Texas Senate, I’ve used my firsthand experience as a physician to fight back against Obamacare and protect the rights of patients. As a diligent steward of our taxpayer dollars, I will continue to fight fraud and abuse in our state’s overburdened Medicaid program.

Outstanding! On another subject, Constitutional Carry?
I am devastated by the reports of a mass shooting in Bryan and the shooting of a DPS trooper in Iola. This is an ongoing situation and my office is working with Governor Abbott’s staff to offer state assistance to local law enforcement. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the first responders working to keep everyone safe from this senseless tragedy.
🙏
As usual thoughts and prayers but no action. Thoughts and prayers do nothing to stop the carnage.
We look to priests for thoughts and prayers...legislators are looked to for legislation...get to work and stop offering useless platitudes after every tragedy.
🙏🙏🙏
We need more than thoughts and prayers. We need commonsense gun laws.
Keep being devastated. They’ll keep happening. Thanks for nothing.
Please. You went right from this to posting about your valiant attempts to defend the gun industry and to protect our 2nd Amendment rights from nonexistent threats. Thoughts and prayers are utterly meaningless without substantive action.
I pay attention to actions not words.
Garrett Cocetti
Yet your answers the same everytime do nothing because nothings wrong...
But not devastated enough to do something about the problem of mass shootings. Your previous posts shows that you are actually part of this problem.
Fuck you. I know what you did. Stop letting gun manufacturers away with murder. Gun laws do not mean allowing more guns. We need less and regulations about who can have them. "Well regulated militia"
We have no inpatient mental health services in Bryan/College Station. In less than a month, two Bryan men with guns have made national news. Let's get a bill to provide mental health services so folks don't have to keep going to Austin for care. Let's provide conflict management and de-escalation training for our workplaces and schools.
Yet you have another post about the President coming for your guns. Stop being a coward and push for current loopholes and massive clips to be shut down.
President Biden has begun his attacks on Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights, but your Republican lawmakers in Texas are protecting your 2nd Amendment rights. I authored Senate Bill 19 to protect Texas businesses that legally manufacture ammunition and firearms because corporate discrimination against these businesses has been going on for far too long. At the direction of the federal government under the Obama Administration, financial institutions adopted discriminatory policies against the lawful firearm industry. Senate Bill 19 will ensure that any company in Texas with a policy that attempts to restrict gun or ammunition sales will not be allowed to benefit from tax dollars through government contracts. cnn.it/3wCcMJF
Biden to take first limited steps on gun control, including on 'ghost guns' and pistol braces
cnn.it
President Joe Biden will take his first, limited actions on gun control Thursday, directing his administration to tighten restrictions on so-called ghost guns and pistol stabilizing braces that allow the weapons to be used more accurately.Texas needs laws like some other states are passing that make his executive orders on gun control illegal and unenforceable.
Thank you Sir.
Thank you for doing this!
🤦♀️
Well done And thank you!
Jackass take care of the border your allowing terrorist to come in and destroy us and you are worried about guns.
Treason
Clown.
There’s about 60K gun laws already. This is a cancer on our freedom. Never give an inch.
Not much of a doctor, eh?!?!
I find it infuriating that Biden says gun manufacturers are the only industry in America that is immune to legal liability from the damage that their product causes. The reality is that gun manufacturers are MORE liable than pharmaceutical companies. You do actually have the ability to sue a gun manufacturer if they knowingly sold a gun to somebody that wasn't supposed to have one or if they sold a gun that causes injury due to malfunction. Vaccines though? Nope. Under no circumstances whatsoever can you sue a pharmaceutical company even if you can prove criminal intent in a court of law. You can sue the federal government for damages but you CANNOT sue a pharmaceutical company.
What we have is clearly not working. And so far, all I hear from our Texas legislators are excuses and no solutions.
How is this an attack on the 2nd amendment? Stop politizing everything!
Have you seen the pictures of the troopers car that got shot in the county that you represent?
biden socialist fascist communist cannot rule Citizens they need unarmed subjects terrorist enemies within 🤬
There are already a number of restrictions on firearms, get off your soapbox of bullshit...
How many died during the Texas winter storm?
Really? Maybe we should focus on what's more important in the world than your precious guns. No one is coming for them. Quit fear mongering, fix the educational system, (or do you like Tx being ranked 44) fix the health care issues in Tx (or you ok with children's health care being ranked 44), fix the damn infrastructure (or you okay with a other winter storm taking out 3/4 of Texas again)
How exactly is Biden threatening gun rights?
Biden kiss Red Texas ass
He's a completely ignorant president. I bet what's left of his demented brain doesn't even weigh 6lbs right now. If he does what he just announced his own son will need to be the first arrested for his lying on his application for a firearm. Secondly, firearms manufacturers are already sued regularly. 3rd a piece a plastic that stabilized a firearm has literally never been the reason a trigger was fired ever. 4th his proposed ATF director is a known liar. The Branch Davidians did not shoot down federal helicopters or make them crash, they did take on gun fire however but to flat out lie is unacceptable.

I can't believe you have the gonads to make this post while we are having mass shootings in Texas every other day ...including the day you made this post...You sir are a Matt Gaetz type disgusting pervert that needs a lesson in grace and humility. I'll be glad to give it to you....
Laws for the law and order party and law abiding citizens are not an attack. Whose rights are you protecting ?
