Rep. Jessica Gonzalez emerging as spokesperson during 'Suppression Session'
A special session of the Texas Legislature called to hurt trans kids and restrict the right to vote has been dubbed the Suppression Session and Rep. Jessica Gonzalez, D-Dallas, and co-chair of the LGBT Caucus, is emerging as a spokesperson. She appeared on Lawrence ODonnells show on MSNBC on Thursday, July 8 along with Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio.
ODonnell pointed out that she already has had a few wins in the pending voter suppression bill. Judges will not be allowed to overturn elections without evidence of voter fraud and Sunday voting wont be eliminated.
Texas is one of the most restrictive states to vote in, Gonzalez said. This bill is still not good for Texans.
She pointed out that the Republican chair of the committee hearing the voter suppression bill began the session by saying voting in Texas is safe and there is nothing to fix.
