Matt Shaheen, a Republican member of the Texas State House representing District 66 since 2015, posted several updates on January 31, 2026, including commentary on Governor Greg Abbott’s re-election campaign and a statement condemning antisemitism.

In a post made at 14:03 UTC, Shaheen shared his presence alongside the governor: “Great to be w/ Governor @GregAbbott_TX this week as he picked up several key endorsements for his re-election. #txlege #HD66 https://t.co/iOiAP3slm1”.

Later that day, at 15:16 UTC, Shaheen commented in another tweet: “Easy when you don’t have a job! https://t.co/4izCOCrmXX”.

At 17:25 UTC, Shaheen addressed an incident involving antisemitism. He wrote: “The attack by these cowards is to be condemned. Antisemitism is a vile, dangerous form of hatred that has no place in Texas. The Lone Star State supports Israel and stands w/ the Jewish people. https://t.co/rz7BKVETYJ”.

Shaheen has served as the representative for Texas’s 66th House district since being elected in 2015, succeeding Van Taylor.
