VOTE ALERT: Cruz Votes for a Government Shutdown

In response to Senator Cruz voting against the bipartisan plan to fund the government, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Amanda Sherman Baity issued the following statement: 

“Today, Ted Cruz voted against the well-being of Texans and our country. Instead of working in a bipartisan manner, Cruz put his own political agenda first, risking a government shutdown that would jeopardize our economy and disrupt services Texans rely on. In 2024, his vote to shut down the government and his refusal to do his job will give Texas voters another reason to fire Cruz.

The DSCC previously launched an advertising campaign highlighting how Cruz’s government shutdown would threaten Social Security and raise costs.
