[Our Community] Two Democrat Texas state representatives still haven’t returned after fleeing the state to break legislative quorum for a vote on a Republican-backed election bill. Now, the two lawmakers are reportedly taking a vacation in Portugal, a new report says.
The Texas House Democratic Caucus on Tuesday could not account for State Reps. Julie Johnson (D-Farmers Branch) and Jessica González (D-Dallas), the Texas Tribune reported Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Texas Monthly reporter Jonathan Tilove tweeted, "Hi. Covering the TXDEMS in DC for @TexasMonthly. Can confirm @juliejohnsonTX and her wife & @jessicafortexas and her fiancé are in Portugal for a vacation they had been planning, with non-refundable tickets, for a year-and-a-half. Still participating in caucus meetings via ZOOM."
