Merry Christmas to every family in HD 70 and a special thank-you to our nurses, first responders, utility crews, and service workers on duty today. We’re grateful for you. La mulți ani and Merry Christmas! ✨ #HD70 #TxLege #CollinCounty

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas #HD70! Todd, the boys, and I wish you a peaceful Christmas Eve filled with warmth and good company. If you are working tonight or missing someone at your table, we are thinking of you. May the season bring rest, health, and hope. 🕯️

Our office is proud to sponsor Christmas Eve dinner for Plano Fire-Rescue and stopped by with sweets for the crews on duty. Thank you for the quiet heroism that keeps families safe while you miss time with your own. Grateful to serve those who serve. 💙 #HD70

On the nice list 🎄 Thank you @TexasAFT for the endorsement. I’ll keep pushing for fully funded public schools, competitive pay, strong SPED, safe campuses—and public dollars in public schools. Onward, #HD70. #txed #TXLege

Heads up on our holiday hours so Team HD 70 can spend time with family: Closed: 12/22/25–1/2/26 Reopen: 1/5/26 • 9 AM–5 PM Thank you, HD 70, for a year of hard work and heart. Wishing you peace, good health, and a hopeful New Year. We can’t wait to keep serving you in 2026. 💙

It’s VERY IMPORTANT you DON’T underestimate yourself… #HD70 #TxLege

Holiday wishes shouldn’t feel out of reach. But Trump’s tariffs are a tax on families—import fees get passed along and you pay more for toys, lights, and electronics. Families shouldn’t fund political theater at the register. We deserve stable prices and paychecks that keep up. #HD70 #TXLege

Capitol Update: The House Committees on Agriculture & Livestock and Culture, Recreation, & Tourism held a joint hearing on New World screwworm & preparedness efforts. If this parasite were to establish in TX, it could pose significant risks to livestock operations, wildlife, & supply-chain stability

Honored to attend the 35th Annual Dallas Awards celebrating 90 years of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. A standout moment was the panel with Barbara Pierce Bush (moderated by Tashara Parker) on advancing women’s health through community partnerships.

From school visits to committee hearings, community events to policy updates — #HD70 moves fast! Follow me on all platforms @PlesaForTexas so you never miss a moment of the work we’re doing together. Whether you’re team Facebook, team TikTok, or somewhere in between… we’ve got something for you. 💙

Team HD 70 joined the Plano Police Association’s Christmas Cops again this year and our community showed up big. Thank you to every neighbor who dropped off toys, gift cards, and warm essentials. Your generosity means more children will wake up to joy this season.

I joined the Collin County DA’s Office for the annual Tree of Angels ceremony, led by DA Greg Willis Families who’ve lost loved ones to violent crime placed ornaments on the tree each name a life, a story, a love that endures We joined in placing an angel for all those remembering loved ones in HD70

Hanging with @collincountydems.bsky.social today in Wylie - fired up as usual is Rep. Mihaela Plesa! @plesafortexas.bsky.social

As Hanukkah begins tonight, I’m wishing a warm Chag Sameach to everyone in #HD70 and across North Texas who is welcoming the Festival of Lights. When so many are feeling the weight of uncertainty and fear, the story of Hanukkah reminds us that even a small light can push back a lot of darkness.

Our holiday hours starts Monday, 12/22. If you have a district request, please send it today so we can help before the break. Closed: 12/22/25–1/2/26 • Back: 1/5/26, 9AM–5PM From our team to yours—happy holidays and a bright New Year. Let’s make 2026 a year of progress and possibility for HD 70. ✨

The Texas House tree is up and so is our #HD70 ornament! 🎄 Thank you, Lori Ruml of The Art Experience, a teacher and small business owner in HD 70, for creating a design that celebrates strong public schools and the educators who power them. Wishing everyone a warm, joyful season! #TxLege

Thanks to NTX Education Coalition, for the invite to your First Annual Conference and to Danny Stockton. I loved hearing from leaders across our region, including Randy Willis from the Texas Association of Rural Schools. Let’s build partnerships that deliver for students & educators. #HD70 #TXLege

Oliver Royal is our Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program recipient. Oliver has already put service into action—studying language and democracy abroad and supporting humanitarian research. He represents the next generation of leaders who will keep our country safe.

I had the joy of presenting a TX House resolution celebrating 50 years of Plano Senior. In true Wildcat fashion, PSHS pairs heart with results. Two-time National Blue Ribbon, and seven state football titles! I didn’t get to go to Plano Sr, but I always wanted to!

Proud to join the Texas House’s Holiday Wishes program. This season, our office “adopted” two amazing kids—ages 7 and 9—with big imaginations🎁✨ If you’re able, please participate in an angel tree near you or donate to a local toy drive. No child should feel forgotten at Christmas.

Honored to attend the CCBA 2025 Anniversary Luncheon. Great conversation with Walter Isaacson (and thank you for The Greatest Sentence Ever Written). Let’s keep working together for good jobs, better mobility, and strong public schools. #HD70 #COLLINCOUNTY #TxLege

December 7, 1941—a date that lives in infamy. Today we remember the 2,403 Americans who were killed at Pearl Harbor, the 1,178 wounded, and the families who have carried that sacrifice for generations. May we be worthy of their courage by defending freedom, serving our neighbors, & working for peace

Small Business Saturday spotlight: Lavendou Bistro Provençal—one of Todd’s and my favorite local spots. 💙 They serve Provence classics and gives back—helping raise $212,012 for Plano ISD scholarships through the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation. Show some love, then tell me your #HD70 favorites!

TXhomeowners face one of the costliest markets in the country—double-digit increases since 2019 and high no-pay claim closures—and the pressure is still building. KVUE’s report is a primer. We need data-driven oversight, fair claims practices, & targeted mitigation funding to stabilize costs. #HD70

I filed for re-election in #HD70 with a full heart and a clear purpose. While the GOP chase book bans, voucher schemes, attacks on women’s health, & maps that choose their voters, I’m focused on public schools, fair wages, safe neighborhoods, & elections where every eligible Texan can vote.

The Supreme Court allowed Texas to use the new maps—for now. That’s a legal outcome, not a moral vindication. Read the CBS Texas piece on how we’re responding and what comes next for fair representation. 👉 www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/t...

Appreciated @utdallas.bsky.social hospitality at the Dallas Regional Chamber’s State of the Region. Mayors Mattie Parker, Jim Ross, Dylan Hedrick, Jeff Cheney, Bill Cox, and Amir Omar highlighted how regional collaboration fuels competitiveness and inclusive growth.

Today is the day! We’re wrapping our Plano Christmas Cops collection. If you’ve been meaning to give, swing by today with 12+ teen gifts or gift cards. 📍 900 E. Park Blvd., Suite 140-C Thank you for showing up for our neighbors #HD 70 always comes through.🎁💙 #PlanoChristmasCops #TxLege #CollinCounty

Appreciate the warm welcome from the LBJ School at UT Austin and the Patman Center. Thank you to the moderators and the students who let me crash class for a candid conversation on strategy, service, and what it takes to win—and govern—in a competitive district.

🎁 Toy Drive Deadline This Friday! December 5th is the last day to drop off a new, unwrapped toy at our #HD70 office for the Plano Christmas Cops toy drive. These donations go straight to local children whose families could use a little extra cheer this season. #HD70 #TxLege #CollinCounty

GivingTuesday is here, and HD 70’s nonprofits need us. 💙 If you can donate today, please consider: 🍎 North Texas Food Bank – ntfb.org 🍽️ Minnie’s Food Pantry – minniesfoodpantry.org 🎒 Lovepacs Plano (Plano ISD) – lovepacs.org/our-communit... 🏠 Hope’s Door New Beginning Center – hdnbc.org

While in Missouri visiting my dad for Thanksgiving, I connected with @modemparty House Minority Leader @ashleyformissouri and @emily4mo. Across state lines, our work aligns: safeguard voting rights, strengthen public education, and deliver for working families. Same fight, different zip codes. 💙

Plano classic since 1993 and family-owned, Marinara Pizza is a love letter to immigrant flavors. From NY-style slices to Brazilian-inspired pies. 🍕❤️ Congrats on the shout-outs over the years (“Best Eats” for their garlic knots!)! Thanks for feeding Collin County’s story one slice at a time. #HD70

We’re collecting for Plano Christmas Cops to make the holidays brighter for local families. 🎁 Most-needed: gifts for ages 12+ — headphones/earbuds, wallets, beauty sets, sports balls, art kits, portable games, and gift cards. 📍 Drop-off: 900 E. Park Blvd., Suite 140-C (Plano) Thank you, #HD70!

🍂 Be Thankful. Be Grateful. Be Blessed. 🍂 On this Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the hardworking families of House District 70. Representing this community is both an honor and a blessing. Wishing you and your family a safe and meaningful holiday filled with gratitude.

Full hearts, full carts. From our team to your table. 🧡🦃 #HD70 #CollinCounty #TxLege

Tonight, @KXAN_News is sharing families’ stories and how Everly’s Law (HB 37) gives parents more time to say goodbye after baby loss. I wrote this law with parents and providers because love doesn’t end at the hospital door.

Keep the giving going, HD70! 🎁 We’re collecting toys & gifts for the Plano Christmas Cops Toy Drive until Dec. 4th. Drop off baby items, coats, toys, books, or gift cards at my office. Stop by to see our HD70 Christmas Tree & grab a District Reader! 🎄 #HD70 #TxLege #CollinCounty

State Rep Mihaela Plesa (HD70) connected the dots from the TX Dems walkout to protest the illegal maps and the significant wins across the country a few weeks ago. We are all fired up to continue the work! @plesafortexas.bsky.social

State Rep Michaela Plesa was 🔥 last night!

Pouring rain, packed room. 🌧️❤️ Thank you, @richardsonareadems, for showing up to talk about the federal court ruling on gerrymandered maps and where we go from here. No matter what the Supreme Court does, the most powerful response is what we do here in in our community. #HD70 #CollinCounty #TxLege

This Sat, Nov.22, Team Plesa will host our 5th Annual HD70 Turkey Drive and I hope you’ll join us! 🦃 Each year, this effort helps feed thousands of families across southern Collin County. It’s one of the most meaningful days of our year — a day about community, kindness, and giving thanks together.

During Ed. Week-I’m reminded of my remarks at the TABE Conference. As a former ESL student, I know what great teachers & support can do for a kids future. TX is multilingual: nearly 1 in 4 students are Emergent Bilingual, speaking 60+ languages—w/Spanish the most common Bilingualism is a TX strength

It’s American Education Week! I’m proud to recognize the educators and support professionals who power our public schools. Let’s be honest: public schools are under attack—from voucher schemes, political censorship and book bans, and unfunded mandates that push great educators out of the classroom.

Federal court blocked TX from using the new, racially gerrymandered congressional map in the midterms and ordered us to keep the ‘21 lines while the case goes to the Supreme Court. Texans didn’t ask for new maps-Trump did. This ruling is a major victory for fair representation #TxLege #CollinCounty

Grateful to the @dallasdemocrats.bsky.social for recognizing me as a Democracy Defender and to join my Texas House colleagues in welcoming @govpritzker.illinois.gov. #HD70 #TXLege #CollinCounty

Honored to receive Hope’s Door New Beginning Center’s Advocacy Champion Award at their 40th Anniversary “Back to the ’80s” Gala. 💜 To the staff, board, volunteers, donors and most of all, the survivors who lead with courage, thank you for the life-saving work you do every day.

Todd and I had a blast last night at the @planochamber Best of Plano Awards recognizing civic leadership, small business excellence, and community partnership. #HD70 #TxLege #CollinCounty

Kicked off #TribFest yesterday with great energy and even better questions. It was wonderful to see so many friends and constituents. Thanks to the Texas Tribune, moderator Alejandro Serrano, and Reps. Vikki Goodwin, Nicole Collier & Donna Howard for a fun, thoughtful panel. #BlueTeam #TxLege #HD70
