Rep. Brandon Gill: "Democrats want boys in your daughter’s locker room and boys in your daughter’s sports. Republicans don’t. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed pushes this agenda with open disdain for the vast majority of Americans who disagree."

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez: "Corpus Christi is a critical hub for American energy exports, and the hardworking families who support this industry deserve to reap the benefits as well."

Rep. August Pfluger: "Healthy communities are strong communities, and I’m grateful to CMS and our state partners for working with us to deliver this historic investment to Texas."
