Rep. August Pfluger: "exas priorities deserve their share of federal support, especially when our state provides the critical food security, energy security, and national security that the rest of the country has come to count on."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Our democracy does not belong to Trump and his sellout friends. It belongs to the people."

Rep. Beth Van Duyne: "Non-citizens are not allowed to vote in American elections. Yet, more and more cases keep piling up, with 48 cases across 5 states. THIS is why we need the SAVE America Act to be signed into law."
