Sen. Ted Cruz: "Tax-exempt groups should not be able to fund proxy organizations through fiscal sponsorships and then avoid liability when those projects break the law."

Rep. Ronny Jackson: "TEXAS TAXPAYERS stepped up when Joe Biden REFUSED to secure our southern border, even though our state should NEVER have been forced to foot the bill for the federal government’s FAILURES. I have fought for YEARS to make sure Texas is reimbursed for the enormous costs it incurred protecting our communities and our country. Border security is NATIONAL SECURITY, and Texas answered the call."

Rep. Pat Fallon: "Americans deserve to participate in elections that are free of: -Noncitizen voting -Foreign financing -Shady vote-buying schemes run by outside groups The Democrats who talk about "threats to democracy" are clearly fine with all three."

Rep. Julie Johnson: "Last year, Abbott said TX would be the “centerpiece” for AI data centers in the entire world. Now Texans are fighting back over water, power & rising costs — and Abbott is scrambling to clean up the mess he helped create. He can change his talking points. He can’t change his record."
