palette of water so that the seniors would have drinking water for the next several days. everybody in texas tried to help one another, except for ted cruz. he took off and abandoned us all. in your announcement video you mentioned bribery and corruption and the republican governing of texas. tell our viewers what you are referring to there, that texas voters should also know about? we certainly have been dealing with all of this tragic search situation with ken paxton, our attorney general and the allegations of security exchange fraud. he is still under federal indictment, state indictment. he is under an impeachment right now for many violations, including bribery at accusations of payoffs. we are in the space right now, lawrence, for texans are hurting. and republicans in texas seem to congratulate this lie that
