Statement

Greetings,

Last week, we saw the 114th Congress come to a close, and I'm glad to report, it was not without an important success that gives us strong footing for the next Congress to make even further advances that will strengthen jobs and opportunity in Texas. Late last Friday, our bipartisan NASA Transition Act passed the Senate with unanimous consent, which provides NASA with the stability it needs as the agency transitions to a new administration. It also lays an important marker as we continue working to enact this important legislation as soon as possible. I look forward to working with my colleagues again next year to ensure that our nation's new era of pioneers can innovate and explore with clarity and purpose.

This week, I have been back in Texas, enjoying time with my family and fellow Texans, and anticipating the upcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations. As families navigate this busy season of shopping and preparing for the holidays, Texans across the state are still finding the time to give back to their communities and support those in need of holiday cheer. In recent days, I have had the privilege to see a few of our state's foremost non-profits and charities in action, working with members of their communities to serve those in need. The work of organizations like the Houston Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, the Fisher House, and the North Texas Food Bank are an embodiment of the Texas spirit of generosity and friendship. We are blessed to have their operations, and so many like them, working in our state and making our communities a better place.

Please keep reading for an update on the latest in the Senate.
