With record unemployment numbers in Texas, Sen. Cornyn decided that expanded unemployment coverage in the CARES Act was "a mistake."

Look, y’all, families all across Texas are going through a tough time right now. Nearly 2 million hard working Texans have lost their jobs and health insurance as our unemployment rate reached a record high. Things aren’t going to snap back to normal, and Texans need help right now. So what has our senator, John Cornyn, done about it? Here’s a quick timeline:

  • First he voted against expanding unemployment benefits.
  • Then he patted himself on the back about those benefits, calling them a “lifeline” to Texans.
  • Finally, after a lunch with his DC bosses, he called those very same benefits “a mistake.” Seriously!

Let me be clear: I don’t think that lending a hand to MILLIONS of hard working Texans who’ve lost their jobs due to a pandemic (through benefits that they’ve paid taxes into) is a mistake, and I think it’s time for a senator from Texas who’ll have workers’ backs.

Will you help me out and make sure that the next senator from Texas will be the fighter Texas families need?
