President Russell Boening, Texas Farm Bureau: "Texas Farm Bureau thanks Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Ronny Jackson for continuing their work in Congress to help panhandle wildfire victims in their recovery efforts. Providing flexibility in the U.S. tax code to maximize federal disaster assistance will tremendously help the many farm and ranch families impacted by the catastrophic wildfires. TFB appreciates Sen. Cruz and Congressman Jackson for their steadfast support and looks forward to working in Congress to enact this commonsense legislation.”

Rep. Pat Fallon: "Taxpayers deserve to see their money spent effectively. The work of the DOGE subcommittee will not only help inform the appropriations process but will also hold federal agencies accountable for wasteful spending."

Rep. Keith Self: "Military academies aren't civilian universities - nor are they DEI daycares for the elite (that's the Ivy League). President Trump is restoring the warrior ethos our Service Academies were built on."

Rep. Beth Van Duyne: "Glad to join @RepRileyMoore in introducing legislation to prevent the federal government from infringing on gun owners' private financial transactions!"
