Taylor council rejects resolution condemning Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib
Summary
A motion to condemn Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for her vote on House Resolution 1252 failed 2–5 during the May 19 Taylor City Council meeting after a motion by Christian Armstrong and support from Ron Thiede.
A motion to adopt a resolution condemning Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for her vote on House Resolution 1252 failed 2–5 during the Taylor City Council meeting on May 19, 2026.
The measure, moved by Council member Christian Armstrong and supported by Council member Ron Thiede, recorded two votes in favor (Armstrong, Thiede) and five votes against (Chairman Charley Johnson, Dan Wallace, Chris Clark, William Patts and Gerald Thomas). The resolution therefore did not pass.
The vote came during routine agenda business; the council record lists the motion and the roll call outcome without extended debate in the minutes. No subsequent motion to reconsider or alternate action on the subject is recorded in the meeting minutes. The council adjourned at 7:09 p.m.
Because the resolution failed on a recorded roll call, there is no formal directive or policy change resulting from the motion.
