Gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa: "Under Greg Abbott, our costs have gone up, our health care remains expensive and out of reach, and our public schools have been defunded. He does not deserve an unprecedented 4th term. Texans deserve a new governor - one who's committed to hardworking Texas families, not wealthy donors."

Rep. Keith Self: "For a biblical 40 days and 40 nights, the American people have been put through a period of testing brought on by Chuck Schumer's egregious demands. If Republicans stand form and hold the line, I believe this time of preparation will lead to transformational change--exposing the corruption festering in Washington's darkest corners to the cleansing light of truth. Stay strong, patriots!"

Rep. Pat Fallon: "For the radical left, the 'cause' is not really the 'cause.' It's really just window dressing for the destructive and ultimately deadly ideology of communism. Look deeper, and it's clear America is more under threat than ever before."

Senator Ted Cruz: "Happy 250th Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps! Today, we thank the brave men and women of the @USMC for their selfless courage and sacrifice protecting our freedoms, our families, and our nation."
