#Congressman Bill Flores has contributed to four people running to succeed him, then asked one of them to return the contribution for pledging to join the House Freedom

Caucus. Now he has endorsed the candidate that his own consultant is working for in this race.

When I am #elected to represent CD-17, I will begin with more seniority than Rep. Flores has now. That seniority will help deliver highway funding, support our research institutions, promote our agriculture community and protect #Waco and Bryan-College Station in redistricting.

That same seniority will help me also deliver on the key issues facing our nation: changing our immigration laws, building the southern border wall and balancing the budget.

Most importantly, Rep. Flores knows nothing can be done for the Republican agenda in the House unless Republicans take back the majority. Having led the campaign to #DefeatNancyPelosi in 2010, Bill knows that I can help do that again.

A freshman member of Congress will not be as effective in helping to win the majority, and Rep. Flores knows that. It took him three terms to get on Energy and Commerce.
