Rep. Keith Self: "12 million people enrolled in Biden's COVID-era Obamacare subsidies never used them. That's $25 billion in taxpayer dollars that went directly from the pockets of taxpayers to insurance companies, with no care received at all. Let these subsidies EXPIRE!"

Gubernatorial Candidate Gina Hinojosa: "One day one as governor, I will work to expand Medicaid in Texas. We can expand affordable health care access for *one million Texans,* we just need a governor with the courage to make it happen."

Rep. Troy Nehls: "Did you know some Medal of Honor recipients --our nation's highest decorated Veterans-- have filed for bankruptcy? That's unacceptable. The Medal of Honor Act is the first pension update they've received in over two decades. I'm glad President Trump signed my bill into law."

Governor Greg Abbott: "We won! Texas is officially--and legally--more red."
