Sens. Cornyn, Cruz Seek Answers from CDC on Coronavirus Response & Next Steps in San Antonio - “We understand that COVID-19 is a new virus and we are still learning about the cycle of infection and diagnostic criteria.

No one knows that better than Texas, where those abundant fossil fuels and the promise of renewable energy work side by side to power the state. The EcoRight runs strong in Texas because Texas is a free enterprise state that’s ready to drive innovation."
