Rep. Lizzie Fletcher: "The Pentagon removed the names of four fallen U.S. service members from the official causality list for the Iran War. This is a dishonor and disservice to those who gave their lives to serve our country in a war that Congress never authorized and the House and Senate have voted to end."

Rep. Monica De La Cruz: "I'm fighting every day to help South Texas families keep more of what they earn. From no tax on tips to no tax on overtime, we're delivering real results. Watch my latest ad and see what we're fighting for."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Republicans let Trump start another war in the Middle East, put illegal tariffs on every country he can think of, and now Americans are out $219 BILLION. While families can barely afford to put food on the table, he has enriched himself to the tune of $2.2 BILLION."

Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "Trump is making Dirty Money Great Again — right here in America."
