See how your support is making a difference!

Our end-of-quarter filing is in, and Texas Democrats are showing our strength, momentum, and energy.   Trump and his Republican puppets just shut down the government — not because they had to, but because they refuse to protect Texans’ healthcare. Let’s be clear: 1.4 million …
