Voters in Texas head to the polls on Tuesday for a Republican Senate runoff between the incumbent, John Cornyn, and a Trump-backed challenger, Ken Paxton.
I’m so honored to have President Trump’s endorsement.
His endorsement, in my opinion, is the most significant endorsement that I — in my lifetime.
I’ve worked for decades to build the Republican Party, both here in Texas and nationally.
There is simply too much at stake in this midterm election for our state and for our country.
