2020 was a once-in-a-lifetime electionthat took place amid a pandemic. Hidalgo County alone lost more than 3,000 lives and South Texans faced hard times economically. But thanks to Democrats and the American Rescue Plan, the vaccine is helping us get back to normal and the economy is running full steam ahead. I'm going to continue to support policies that secure more resources for South Texans to recover from the pandemic, promote oil and gas production, create good paying jobs and give those in my district more opportunities to achievethe American Dream. i do see, at least among the older generation, more of a shift coming to the Republican Party.
