Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The American people expect Congress to no longer turn a blind eye to the horrors taking place in Gaza and the violent land grab happening in the West Bank."
Sen. Ted Cruz: "We can be certain that the Democrats will overshoot. They will try to raise taxes, shut down the energy industry, and persecute anyone they see as enemies. Make no mistake, nationally, radicals are in charge."
Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "America's scientific leadership was built on innovation and discovery. By undermining research and slashing critical funding, the Trump regime is threatening America's ability to compete, innovate, and lead. Hopefully, the powerful results of this week’s election will put a stop to this extremist, political agenda."
Rep. Greg Casar: "Gina Hinojosa is going to transform millions of Texans’ lives for the better. The folks working double shifts without healthcare. The students facing school closures. The families scared they could be torn to shreds by ICE. For too long, all they’ve experienced from state government is higher bills and endless corruption. In January, they get a governor on their side."
