Matt Shaheen, a Republican member of the Texas State House representing the 66th district since 2015, shared several updates on his official Twitter account this week. His posts addressed recent legislative actions, recognized educators during National Teacher Appreciation Week, and highlighted Texas’s economic performance.
On May 6, 2026, Shaheen wrote about a legislative achievement: “One of our greatest accomplishments last session was SB 37, which ends leftist degrees like gender studies & liberal research on how people have sex.”
Later that day, he marked an occasion dedicated to teachers by posting: “During National Teacher Appreciation Week we honor educators for their impact & investment in our children to give them a brighter future.”
On May 7, Shaheen discussed economic policies in the state: “Conservative economic policies deliver job growth in Texas that continues to outpace the nation.”
Shaheen has represented the state’s 66th House district since his election in 2015, succeeding Van Taylor. As a Republican legislator, he has been active in promoting conservative policy initiatives and regularly communicates updates regarding education and economic matters through social media platforms.
