Representatives wore bow ties on the final day to celebrate the 13th annual 'Napoleon Bracy Bow Tie Day.'
'The tradition began with Representative Napoleon Bracy Jr. (D-Prichard), who is the only representative who wears bow ties every day in the State House, to encourage unity within the body and to ensure that each session concludes on an upbeat and bipartisan note,' read an Alabama House Democratic Caucus news release.
According to the release, some of the bow ties the other representatives wear belong to Bracy, who brings them to the house.

'Especially during this time when there seems to be so much political partisanship and extremism, Bow Tie Day is more important than ever,' Bracy said. 'It helps remind legislators on both sides of the aisle that we're here to serve all of the people of Alabama, regardless of their political affiliation or ideology.'

Tennessee lawmakers respond to Trump's push to eliminate mail-in ballots

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — President Donald Trump has once again made elections a central focus, this time pushing to eliminate mail-in ballots and voting machines. Trump took to Truth Social, saying he would 'lead a movement' to ban mail-in ballots. He claimed, without providing evidence, that they open the door to voter fraud. He has since called on Republicans to rally behind him and support a shift to paper ballots only. This Week with Bob Mueller: Trump considers marijuana reclassification 'We want our elections to be fair and for people that are qualified to be able to vote,' Sen. Joey Hensley (R-Hohenwald) said. 'Tennessee ranks first in election integrity because Republicans have fought for accountability and fairness. Mail-in ballots pose a real threat to the security of the voting process by removing transparency and creating additional opportunities for fraud. I applaud President Trump for prioritizing election integrity. Republicans are committed to keeping the Volunteer State's elections the most secure in the nation because all eligible Tennesseans deserve to have their voices heard. If an Executive Order is issued dealing with absentee balloting and paper/optical scan voting, we are awaiting to review for final comment.' Statement from Rep. Tim Rudd (R-Murfreesboro) Hensley agrees. 'Some states mail an absentee ballot to every registered voter, and any honest person can say that's open for fraud and corruption,' Hensley said. However, some Tennessee Democrats said the president's plan would undermine democracy. 'Voting rights are not something to play with,' Rep. John Ray Clemmons (D-Nashville), who also serves as the House Democratic Caucus chair, said. 'That is the very fabric of our republic.' The U.S. Constitution allows states to set election rules, but Congress can step in. 'First, you would have to see a lot of people who've been defending the system turn their backs on it,' Sen. Jeff Yarbro (D-Nashville) said. In Tennessee, the rules are already strict. 'Tennessee does it correctly. We don't send mail-in ballots to just anybody; you have to have a reason for an absentee ballot,' Hensley explained. 'Our mail-in ballots all have watermarks on them.' According to ThinkTennessee, a nonpartisan group, this is one of 14 states requiring a qualifying excuse for an absentee ballot, factoring in age, location, illness and a person's job. ⏩ 'We should be doing everything we can to improve voter turnout,' Clemmons said. 'Tennessee ranks at the bottom of this country in voter turnout, and that's not an accident. That is the result of a decade of laws that have put hurdles in place to prevent people from voting.' Trump says he would start his push by signing an executive order before the 2026 midterm elections. 'I think people who care about the traditional role of government and, frankly, freedom should have some hesitation,' Yarbro said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Rep. Nicole Collier spends night on Texas House floor after refusing police escort

A Texas House Democrat was confined in the Capitol overnight after she refused a police escort that Republican leaders imposed on lawmakers who participated in a two-week walkout over a GOP mid-decade redistricting plan. Rep. Nicole Collier, D-Fort Worth, declined on Monday afternoon to sign a slip giving her permission from Speaker Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, to leave the House floor with a state law enforcement officer shadowing her. 'I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,' Collier said in a statement Monday. 'When I press that button to vote, I know these maps will harm my constituents — I won't just go along quietly with their intimidation or their discrimination.' Just over two dozen Democratic lawmakers, including Collier, on Monday ended their walkout over a congressional redistricting plan — demanded by President Donald Trump just four years after Republicans last redrew Texas' map — that is designed to pad the GOP's slim U.S. House majority in next year's midterm election. [Photos: Texas Democrats return to Austin as redistricting standoff ends] After the lawmakers returned to the Texas House, Burrows announced they would each be subject to an around-the-clock police escort to ensure their attendance when the chamber reconvenes on Wednesday morning to vote out the map. He added that Democratic lawmakers would be responsible for any state costs incurred in ensuring their attendance. Most Democrats signed the permission slip required to leave the Capitol with a police officer in tow, even while objecting to the mandatory surveillance and emphasizing that they would not have returned to Austin on Monday if they planned to skip the vote on Wednesday. 'They exercised control, and they tell us we can't leave unless we do exactly what they say,' Collier said in a video Monday. 'We've had enough. We've had enough of them taking all of our rights away, and so I've taken a stand. I'm pushing back.' Collier slept at her desk on the House floor Monday night and remained there Tuesday, almost 24 hours after first arriving, though she said she'd received permission to go to her office in the Capitol. Rep. Gene Wu of Houston, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, and Rep. Vince Perez, D-El Paso, stayed with her overnight, with other Democratic lawmakers and staffers coming by to provide moral support, food, clothes, pillows and other necessities. All of it was captured on a livestream the House Democratic Caucus set up on the House floor, with up to 50,000 viewers tuning in at one point. 'Rep. Collier's choice to stay and not sign the permission slip is well within her rights under the House Rules,' Burrows said in a statement. 'I am choosing to spend my time focused on moving the important legislation on the [governor's special session] call to overhaul camp safety, provide property tax reform and eliminate the STAAR test — the results Texans care about.' A handful of supporters outside the House chamber were arrested Monday night for 'trespassing when the Capitol is closed.' They each received a criminal trespass warning barring them from returning to the building for a year, according to a video of the incident. The order requiring Democratic lawmakers to keep a police escort is set to expire when the House grants final passage to the congressional map, House Bill 4, later this week.
