Dear Friend,

I hope you had a good week.

Yesterday, I testified before the Texas legislature on Governor Abbott's gerrymandering efforts and I will continue to stand against anything that will hurt Texans. 

As your elected Member of Congress, it is an honor to fight to make your voice heard and share these updates with you. 

As always, if I can be of any assistance to you, please call my office in San Antonio at (210) 348-8216 or my office in Washington at (202) 225-3236.

Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza 

Every day in Gaza and the West Bank brings us fresh horrors of starving children, civilians killed by snipers as they seek out food, and entire families wiped out by the IDF. 

The Trump administration is failing its international role in stopping this humanitarian crisis. 

During the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I asked the Trump administration about their plan to end this humanitarian crisis.

Redistricting in Texas 

The Texas legislature is being used by Trump. He wants to rig the congressional maps to stay in power and avoid investigations into deadly flooding in Central Texas, the Epstein files, the Iran leaks, and more. 

Communities of color will be hit the hardest. 

Yesterday, I testified before the Texas legislature and asked them to serve Texans, not Trump. I also had the chance to speak with some of you before the hearing. Thank you for taking the time to show up and speak up.

PARTNER Act Passes Markup in House Foreign Affairs Committee

If the United States wants to lead in the 21st century, we need to be present, engaged, and invested in institutions that shape global cooperation. 

The PARTNER Act strengthens our ability to collaborate with organizations that are essential to solving global challenges--from scientific innovation at CERN to regional stability in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean.
