John,
Yesterday was a historic day. The House impeached a president for the third time in the history of our nation.
But here in the Texas 10th, instead of standing up to the President’s abuse of power, Rep. McCaul abandoned all dignity and common sense. He said, “some 63 million Americans voted for President Trump,” and therefore he should not be impeached. Complete nonsense.
McCaul has failed to uphold his oath of office. He claims to be a foreign policy expert — then he must know how important foreign aid is. He knows that when Congress appropriates aid and the President withholds it to advance his personal agenda — that is an abuse of power. Michael McCaul swore an oath to defend our constitution but he has done nothing but protect his own political ambitions.
While McCaul has been sucking up to Trump, our district is in need. Tens of thousands without health care and closing rural hospitals. Several counties with polluted groundwater due to coal ash contamination and fracking fluids. Closing public schools and a growing homeless population. What has McCaul done with his time in office for the people of Texas 10? Nothing.
I am committed to fighting for the people of this district. To ensure their needs are put first. And to fight to protect democracy in the United States, from all threats, foreign and domestic.
Fighting for you,
Mike Siegel
