Texas State Representative Jared Patterson, a Republican serving the 106th House district since 2019, recently shared several statements on social media addressing legislative developments and the actions of his colleagues in the Texas House.
On August 6, 2025, Patterson commented on Democratic Representative Gene Wu’s position by stating, “The good news for Derelict Democrat Gene Wu is that once he is removed from office, for abdicating his constitutional responsibility, he will no longer be subject to arrest by Texas DPS. Don’t mess with Texas Republicans. Leave the cocktail party, check out of the five star https://t.co/qDgmC9yGQE”.
Later that day, Patterson expressed appreciation for media coverage of recent legislative efforts. On August 6, 2025, he posted: “Thank you @StevenDialFox4 for the opportunity to discuss our BIG wins this session on public education – including record funding increases for schools and teachers, no cell phones in classrooms, greater discipline in the classrooms, and, hopefully soon, banning the STAAR test! https://t.co/KOlQNuoiHr”.
Continuing his commentary on legislative priorities and participation in government proceedings, Patterson wrote on August 7, 2025: “This isn’t 2021. Texans won’t be left holding the bag when so many important policy objectives are running out of time. House Democrats should come home and get back to work. https://t.co/HaVxrzT2El”.
Patterson was elected to represent Texas’s 106th House district in 2019 after succeeding Pat Fallon. As a member of the state legislature during multiple sessions marked by partisan disputes over attendance and legislative action deadlines—such as those seen during previous years—his remarks highlight ongoing tensions between Republican leadership and Democratic members over procedural participation and policy advancement.
