From the Office of MY Senator
This year is poised to be a blockbuster year. We have an historic opportunity to deliver on the promises Congress made to the American people - repeal Obamacare, pass fundamental tax and regulatory reform, and confirm a strong conservative to the Supreme Court.
I am happy to report that over the last two weeks, President Trump signed two bills I authored which are tremendous victories for the State of Texas.
The first bill, the bipartisan Cruz-Nelson NASA Transition Authorization Act, ensures the Johnson Space Center remains the crown jewel of NASA’s human spaceflight missions, makes a serious commitment to the manned exploration of space, and allows commercial space ventures to flourish, all of which will foster extraordinary economic growth and job creation throughout Texas.
The second bill, which I sponsored with Texas Representative and House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady – returns discretion back to the State of Texas and Gov. Greg Abbott to determine how best to implement the state’s unemployment insurance program. Both of these bills are significant victories for the Lone Star State.
Today we confirmed Justice Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, putting on the bench a constitutionalist who is committed to the rule of law. This is a victory for the American people.
Please read below for an update from this last week.
Keep Texas Strong,
