United States Senator - John Cornyn

The Texas Patriots PAC recommends John Cornyn for United States Senator.

Among all current members of the Senate, John Cornyn votes in line with President Trump the fourth most often.  His years of experience continue to benefit Texans. He chairs the International Narcotics Control committee, the subcommittees of International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness as well as Border Security and Immigration. These committees directly affect serious concerns in Texas.

While in Congress, Sen. Cornyn helped pass two major pieces of legislation to strengthen America’s military. The defense funding bill will provide a nearly $20 billion increase over the previous year’s funding levels; 98 new F-35 aircraft, which will be built by Texans in Fort Worth; and the largest pay raise in a decade for our troops. This bill complements the National Defense Authorization Act, which invests in military modernization and fully funds the B-21 bomber program for future deployment out of Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene. It also approved funds for military construction projects at Corpus Christi Army Depot, Fort Hood, Camp Swift and Joint Base San Antonio, totaling $400 million.

Last summer Congress passed a provision Sen. Cornyn introduced requiring the Office of Management and Budget to send those, and any future funds approved by Congress, within 90 days. Earlier in 2019, we also approved $4.6 billion to support communities nationwide recovering from natural disasters, including those in Texas.

He helped secure $30 million for local governments, states and charitable organizations to receive reimbursements for their work in response to this crisis. Nearly 40 percent of the initial funding went to Texas.

As a previous Texas Supreme Court Justice, Sen. Cornyn has been instrumental in of the number of well-qualified federal judges confirmed under President Donald Trump to 185, including 20 outstanding Texans.
