Nicole Collier spent two nights inside the Texas Capitol after she was barred from leaving the building over her refusal to agree to 24-hour police surveillance.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday said Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier, who has spent the past two nights inside the Texas Capitol after she was barred from leaving the building over her refusal to agree to 24-hour police surveillance, is “among those who history will reveal to have been heroes of this moment.”
In a video posted on social media by the Texas House Democrats, Harris can be heard praising Collier for taking a stand against the GOP, calling her actions “inspiring.”
“I just want you to know that you are among those who history will reveal to have been heroes of this moment, so you just stay strong and do what you are doing,” Harris said. “You have the right instinct. You are talented and you are principled.”
Collier said she was “overwhelmed” by Harris’ outreach.
“The fact that she is watching what we’re doing right now in this moment means that we are making a difference,” Collier said after wrapping up her call with Harris. “What we do matters. People are watching and they are ready to hold this government accountable. Get fired up, get ready, and vote.”
