Veronica Escobar is the anti-Ted Cruz.
Cruz casts himself as a man of the people, but he went straight from his private high schools to Princeton and Harvard. When a winter storm killed hundreds of Texans and left millions without power, Ted Cruz flew to the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún. He’s been one of the loudest proponents of Donald Trump’s election fraud lie and never misses a chance to vote against expanding health care, protecting workers, or fighting climate change.
Ted Cruz is a morally bankrupt politician who only cares about advancing his own career. Veronica is the opposite.
A third-generation El Pasoan, Veronica has given over two decades of her life to public service. In Congress, she’s been a champion for LGBTQ rights, equal pay, environmental protections, universal health care, and voting rights.
She’s led the way on immigration reform, proudly representing the Border in Washington and fighting for an immigration system that finally embodies the American ideals of justice, hope, and compassion.
She lives and breathes for El Paso, and she’s leading the fight for a better Texas — one that’s not represented by people like Ted Cruz. Chip in today to support her work →
