State Senator Mayes Middleton: "I will fight to pass the map that adds up to 5 RepublicanCongressional seats in Texas. These 5 seats could be the margin to give Republicans control of Congress in 2027, and Texas has the chance to save America and help pass @realDonaldTrump's AMERICA FIRST AGENDA!"
State Rep. Gina Hinojosa: "12 hours. 1 hearing. That's all our communities got after the catastrophic July 4th floods. But when it's time to protect political power? 34 hours. 7 hearings for redistricting. Texans deserve the same urgency for flood relief as Abbott puts into rigging our congressional maps."
Rep. Veronica Escobar: "Midterm elections happen next year, and [President Trump is] worried that Republicans who voted to gut your healthcare to pay for tax breaks for millionaires with his 'big, beautiful bill' will lose their races. So he wants to rig the next election via redistricting."
Attorney General Ken Paxton: "Aaron & I have fought many battles together. Reitz was my 'offensive coordinator,' directing actions on border security, immigration, Big Tech, pro-life, Bill of Rights, and election integrity. I agree with President Trump: Reitz is a 'true MAGA attorney' and 'warrior for our Constitution.' I'm excited Aaron is in this race!"
