Greetings,
This week I have traveled all across Texas, visiting with community leaders and hard working Texans. I kicked off the week releasing a new video highlighting my efforts to deliver on the promises made to the American people, including repealing and replacing Obamacare, and securing the border.
I also had the opportunity to visit with 660 AM The Answer's Mark Davis and Jon-David Wells to discuss my travels across the state, as well as my efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare and simplify the tax code.
Texans from Katy to Lubbock want to see wages rising, businesses thriving and economic opportunity expanding. The mandate is clear. That is why my number one focus in the Senate continues to be focused on reducing the burdens from Washington on job creators, so that businesses can thrive.
Please read below for an update from this week.
Keep Texas Strong,
Ted Cruz
