Ted Cruz: “As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Republican who remains in Texas.”

Texas is the best place in America to innovate, manufacture, and create jobs.

As legislators, as parents, and as human beings, we have a moral obligation to stand between children and those who would harm them.
