WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Texas Rep. Pat Curry, who was re-elected in the midterm elections, has filed 16 bills in the House ahead of the next legislative session, which begins in January.

Lawmakers at the state and federal levels are preparing for next year, and many are already pushing for changes, according to the report.

Curry said everyone on both sides of the aisle is ready for change."You're still going to have the far right that puts out their crazy stuff and you're still going to have the far left put out their crazy stuff, but from a government official standpoint, if you are not catching the drift of the voters right now, then you are blind and deaf," Curry said.
