Congressman Gonzalez Statement in Support of Texas Legislators’ Efforts to Protect Voting Rights of Texans

WASHINGTON – Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15) today issued a statement in support of the recent efforts by Texas Legislators to protect the voting rights of Texans:

"The right to vote is an indispensable pillar in the foundation of our democracy. I commend the Texas Legislators who had the courage to leave their families, homes, jobs and the great state of Texas to preserve our democracy. The U.S. House of Representatives has done its part to advance voting rights legislation by passing H.R. 1, the For the People Act. President Biden must take a stand and urge the Senate to do whatever is necessary to pass critical legislation that maintains the integrity of our elections and protects every American's sacred right to vote."
