Rep. Chip Roy Press Office: "Democrats WANT non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections. Rep. Roy's SAVE Act ENSURES that America's federal elections are ONLY for American citizens. The Senate should pass the SAVE Act once the shutdown is over. #SAVEAct."

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "I'll bring Texas to D.C., period. The establishment wing of my own party has come after me hard. But as an Apache pilot, we call that a target-rich environment. If they're firing, it means I'm right over the target. We will NOT let Washington pick Texas' leadership. Texans will decide that for ourselves."

Rep. Greg Casar: "Kristi Noem should resign, and if she doesn't Congress should investigate her. When Texas needed emergency search and rescue during deadly floods, her 'fiscal responsibility' policies delayed it by 72 hours. Now she's spending $172 million on private jets for herself."

State Rep. James Talarico: "Tariffs are ruining everything -- including the Texas State Fair. $14 for fried oreos. $15 for a funnel cake chicken sandwich. $25 for a turkey leg. DC politicians are pricing Texans out of our own state fair."
