the current administration had turned ICE into a political tool to attack its enemies.

And I have to say to them, you're absolutely right about that, too. We need to be better.

What about the stock trading in Congress? What about people getting rich in Congress?

That’s why I’ve made the difficult decision to end my campaign for the U.S. Senate.

In the past few days, I've come to believe that a bruising Senate Democratic primary and runoff would prevent the Democratic Party from going into this critical election unified against the danger posed to our communities and our…

But I'm nowhere near done serving my community and our state. Today, I'm announcing my campaign for Congress to represent the newly drawn Congressional District 33.

In the past few days, I’ve come to believe that a bruising Senate Democratic primary and runoff would prevent the Democratic Party from going into this critical election unified against the danger posed to our communities and our…

If you listen to many Democratic speeches over the last few years, and you kind of listen to the recitation of policies, if you’re a young man listening into that, you might think that none of those were directed towards you. And I think…

I think that in the Democratic Party, there’s almost been a reluctance to engage in things like football, and I don’t really get that.

I think he would say to us: We are better than this. And I think he would say: If you do this, then we have to mobilize in a way we’ve never seen before.

But, the folks who cut corners and cut deals, well, they’re doing just fine.

Everything’s backwards. Folks who play by the rules and keep the faith just can’t seem to get ahead.

And the people we elected to help? Politicians like John Cornyn and Ken Paxton are too corrupt to care about us and too weak to fight for us.

the people that we elected to help — politicians like John Cornyn and Ken Paxton — are too corrupt to care about us and too weak to fight for us.

I'm announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate to lower costs and stop corrupt politicians like John Cornyn and Ken Paxton from rigging the economy against hard-working Texans.

You deserve someone who will fight for you. I get it. Real change might feel impossible. But I’m not giving up.

Texans are working harder than ever, not getting as much time with their kids, missing those special moments, all to be able to afford less.

I’m proud that in the last campaign we had the most ticket splitters of any state in the country.

I don’t really recognize a somebody who I think has lost any semblance of independence.

I see someone in Ken Paxton who is historically corrupt, was impeached by a Republican Legislature because of that.

I don’t want boys playing girls sports or any of this ridiculous stuff that Ted Cruz is saying.

I was absent during the time of votes due to illness. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 517, H.R. 10545, American Relief Act 2025. ____________________

You can't tell me you're pro-life when women are dying at a record rate. You are so small that you think you can tell Texas women what to do with their bodies, then you have got to lose your job.

Ted Cruz is desperate, desperate to not talk about what he's actually done to folks in this state. He's making up issues. Folks need to be -- understand that and hold him accountable in this election.
