we need to fight back

Joaquin Castro for Congress Team, The leaders at the state capitol need to know where we stand with their outrageous law on voting machines. We will not stand for it! They expect us to pour hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into hypothetical machines that don’t even exist.…

An attack on our democracy

Joaquin Castro for Congress Team, Some extreme Republican leaders know the only way they can win elections is by suppressing our right to vote. This provision will leave dozens of counties across the state without the necessary equipment to deliver accurate and timely election re…

Republicans want more voter suppression

FWD: dishonorable Ted Cruz

Joaquin Castro for Congress Joaquin is right, team, Texans deserve much better than Ted Cruz. While his state froze, Senator Cruz took off on a trip to Mexico. Now, he’s running for reelection in 2024, despite his proposal limiting senators to serving two terms. We can’t allow Te…

Ted Cruz is a hypocrite

Joaquin Castro for Congress Team, Ted Cruz is not fit to represent our state in Congress. He abandoned us during a state of emergency, flying to Mexico to enjoy the beach while 30 million Texans were left in 20° weather without power, food, or clean water. He was gone when we nee…

8 years with Senator Cruz is more than enough!

the hypocrisy of Ted Cruz’s latest proposal
