Commissioner Miller pledges to take a close and careful look at the issue of mRNA vaccines in livestock, state officials say

Texas – Commissioner Sid Miller praised Governor Greg Abbott for emphasizing critical issues in his State of the State address, aligning with Miller’s ongoing efforts to support Texas families, public servants, and agriculture.

Miller highlighted the fight against discriminatory DEI policies, stating that the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is actively involved in this initiative. He also expressed strong support for eliminating DEI in K-12 education and expanding school choice, ensuring parents have control over their children’s education.

Water security remains a priority for Miller, acknowledging the $1 billion investment and Governor Abbott’s commitment to future efforts. He also backed expanding rural healthcare to ensure Texans across the state have access to quality care.

Miller emphasized Texas’s leadership in border security, citing Operation Lone Star as a successful model. He also reiterated his opposition to foreign adversaries purchasing Texas land, particularly from countries like China.

Miller concluded by asserting that these priorities solidify Texas as a national leader in agriculture, border security, and economic freedom.
