Hi John,

The Coronavirus has upended the lives millions of Texans — especially those in communities of color across our state.

This month, the Democratic-led House of Representatives and Senate joined the Biden-Harris Administration to pass the American Rescue Plan to:

  • defeat the virus
  • put vaccines in people’s arms 
  • money into families’ pockets
  • children safely back into classrooms
  • and people back to work in Texas and across the United States  

But Republicans in the state of are ignoring progress and jeopardizing lives along the way. They're putting politics over people and it's dangerous.

Just this week, Texas State Senator Jane Nelson told members of the Senate Finance Committee that there are "too many unknowns" about the American Rescue Plan stimulus money and that for now we should "keep this budget tight". 

That money has a purpose and it isn't meant to stroke the egos of state legislators. It’s time for political hacks to stop playing games with lives in Texas and start working for the people who put them in those seats.

That simple goal has taken him all the way to the halls of Congress, where he is proud to represent not only the friends and neighbors he grew up with but hundreds of thousands of diverse voices across North Texas. Today, he and his wife Tonya still live in Fort Worth with their son Adam. Now, as Congressman for Texas's 33rd District Marc Veasey serves as the Chair of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus and Co-Chair of the Congressional Blue Collar Caucus.
