Jim's Capitol office staff stay in touch with Jim while he is at work in the House Chamber. Early in a legislative session, most of Jim's time is spent in committee meetings, but as the session progresses more and more of his time is on the House Floor. By the end of May, long days and nights are spent in the House Chamber debating various bills which will impact millions of Texas.
