Senator Brent Hagenbuch, a Republican representing Texas’s 30th Senate district, posted several messages on social media in September 2025 reflecting both personal activities and public mourning.
On September 9, Hagenbuch shared details about time spent with fellow veterans. He wrote: “Enjoying a few days away from the district to meet up with my brothers from the Mobile Construction Battalion. Four veterans I and I are on our Erie Canal Buffalo to Albany bike tour. Alpha, Dave Openshaw Bravo, and Jean Band Echo Company Commanders. #GoNavy https://t.co/cOyLBEj3ky”.
The following day, Hagenbuch called for support for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, stating on September 10: “Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk. https://t.co/M8hjjAw3Wv”.
Later that same day, he addressed news of Kirk’s death. In his post dated September 10, he said: “This is an incredibly sad day in America. Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered because of his political beliefs. At the age of 18, Charlie created Turning Point, which became an incredible movement. Please join me in praying for Charlie’s family, friends, and colleagues. https://t.co/aC4LKomJVO”.
Hagenbuch began serving as a state senator after being elected in 2025 to represent Texas’s 30th Senate district, succeeding Drew Springer.
