Rep. Chip Roy: "Paint a clear picture of how we build on the great work of the past 20 months and finish the job. Cut through the noise. Commit to solving the challenges facing the American people. And make clear what’s at stake: handing the keys back to the socialists would be fatal to the progress we’ve made."

Rep. Michael McCaul: "Thanks to our state’s pro-family and business-friendly policies, it is no surprise that Texas continues to lead the nation in job creation and growth."

Rep. Pete Sessions: "I am grateful [Rep. Keith Self]and his family are safe, and I thank the FBI and law enforcement officers who acted to stop this threat. We can disagree on policy and politics, but there is no place in America for terrorism or political violence."

Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "Trump’s chief negotiator with Russia is just another Putin appeaser like his boss. He cannot tell the difference between humanitarian and an indicted war criminal for kidnapping Ukrainian children. Witkoff should be removed immediately."
