I will say the argument that minorities cannot get photo ID I think is condescending.
Ted Cruz
The Public Record

A member of the Republican Party, Cruz gained national prominence during his 2016 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. He is known for his conservative positions on issues such as healthcare, immigration, and tax reform. Cruz has been a vocal advocate for limited government and has often positioned himself as a defender of constitutional rights.
Does it concern you when Federal Judges are having their votes stolen in New Mexico because there is not a photo ID requirement?
Every American wants election processes that they can trust and that are neutrally applied.
In 2017, Judge Hartz went to vote and he was barred from voting when the Albuquerque city clerk's record showed that somebody else had already voted under his name.
Voter ID, I believe should be a basic minimum requirement for a free and fair election.
Thanks to--I'll say it again--the miracle of deregulation, America today enjoys a highly competitive, rapidly evolving, technologically sophisticated airline industry.
There is clearly scope for beneficial regulation in circumstances where market forces can't be expected to resolve an issue.
I greatly appreciate that aviation has traditionally been a bipartisan effort.
We should force the rebooking fees when your flight was canceled or delayed by the airline itself and stop that practice.
I still recall sitting on the floor of the House not too long ago and listening to the President's State of the Union address, where he talked more about airline baggage fees than he did about how we are going to defeat communist China.
What actions should Congress take to make clear to the Department of Transportation that they should take the law and Congressional intent seriously to protect passengers with disabilities?
Yes, Mr. Shane, I will say in elected politics, it can sometimes be good politics to pick things that are unpopular and declare yourself the enemy of them.
Some witnesses and some Congressional Democrats have said that the era of airline deregulation is over, that it failed, and that the Federal Government should reregulate it.
There is clearly scope for beneficial regulation in circumstances where market forces can't be expected to resolve an issue.

We should formally authorize fully fund, and staff up the Department of Transportation's Office of Aviation Consumer Protection.
We should force the rebooking fees when your flight was canceled or delayed by the airline itself and stop that practice.
It is staggering that the Biden administration would say Russia is still on our side trying to constrain Iran.
Under this Administration, you have allowed Iran to get to the brink of a nuclear weapon.
This Administration has shown weakness on Iran since day one and continues to do so.
I agree wholeheartedly that it is an important national security interest of the United States for Russia to lose.
