Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Veasey joined House Democrats to take action to protect Texans' health care by passing a resolution that authorizes Congress to intervene in the Texas v.

Young girl's tragic death "raises significant questions about the leadership at DHS and CBP's ability to appropriately respond to the humanitarian crisis happening at our southern borders and the agency's ability to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future."
"Today the world lost a leader and a countryman. George H. W. Bush personified all the traits of a Texan - willing to work together, show restraint when necessary, make tough decisions for the betterment of all Americans, and demonstrate deep loyalty to country. We honor his memory and his family through their time of mourning and celebration of life."

Washington, D.C. – On November 28th, Congressman Veasey will introduce the Diverse Small Businesses Empowerment Act to permanently cut the upfront Small Business Administration (SBA) loan fees and eliminate economic barriers institutionally faced by women, minorities and veteran small business owners. Additionally, this bill will provide targeted economic growth to a diverse group of American entrepreneurs and break down barriers that inhibit progress for minority-owned small businesses.
"Leader Pelosi is the best strategist in either party. With an exciting new freshman class, our party is gaining a deeper bench. That's a great position to be in, but it also requires a progressive, resolute leader who has proven time and again that she can counteract the Republican Party and President Trump to prioritize the Democrats' legislative agenda. We need her whip-smart negotiating skills to lead us through a smooth transition for the next two years.
