Carlos De La Cruz’s Extremist Pal Ken Paxton Wants Struggling Texans to “Suck It Up”

Just hours after Carlos De La Cruz took to the stage with extremist Ken Paxton, their not-so-secret plan to betray Texas’ working families came to light.

New reporting reveals that De La Cruz’s buddy Paxton endorses plans to cut federal programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security and that the millions of Texans who would be impacted should just “Suck it up.”

De La Cruz also stood by as Donald Trump bragged about the Big Beautiful Bill that gutted Medicaid and cut food assistance for more than 600,000 Texans – more than 300,000 of them children.

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Carlos De La Cruz stands shoulder to shoulder with the extremists in his party who are selling out Texans in order to fund more tax giveaways for the richest people in the country. Johnny Garcia is standing up to fight for working families and a more affordable future – that’s why they’re going to send him to Congress this November.”
