Tom Oliverson, M.D., a Republican member of the Texas State House representing the 130th district since 2017, recently posted several statements on his Twitter account addressing political and faith-related topics.
On January 8, 2026, Oliverson made a strong accusation against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, stating: “This is criminal behavior by the Governor of Minnesota. Tim Walz belongs behind bars along with the Somali pirates he aided and abetted.”

He wrote on January 8, 2026: “I was honored to take part in the Separation of Church and State panel at the @txvalues 2025 Texas Faith Fest. Faith is at the heart of everything I do, and it plays a real role in how I think about public service and Texas values.
If you want to watch the full conversation,”
On January 9, 2026, Oliverson responded positively to an unspecified topic or event with a brief message: “Outstanding! https://t.co/IsoTSmkrgS”
