The Public Record
I appreciate the gentleman's work and his friendship in this House as well. A new Member from Texas, someone who represents the southwest Texas area, I believe, represents portions of Austin, Texas, as well, someone who is new but no less…
I appreciate Representative Carter's passion on this issue and laying out, really, a heartfelt case why border security is so important. So many times we hear the argument that there are as many and, in some places, even a higher…
