Team Bettencourt, the official account for Texas State Senator Paul Bettencourt, posted a series of tweets on February 23 and 24, 2026, highlighting recent achievements in sports and legislative policy.
On February 23, Team Bettencourt praised the U.S. hockey teams’ victories over Canada: “I was so impressed with @USAHockey team for their gold medal WINS against Canada by both our Women’s and Men’s teams, but so grateful for Jack Hughes’ unabashed ‘so proud to be an American!’ in these frothy times.
