In an effort to once again stymie their Republican counterparts’ attempts to push through a polarizing voting bill in the state, nearly 60 Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives broke quorum Monday and headed for the U.S. Capitol. They had company with lawmakers from the Rio Grande Valley.
State Reps. Bobby Guerra, D-McAllen; Armando “Mando” Martinez, D-Weslaco; and Brownsville lawmakers Eddie Lucio III and Alex Dominguez joined the Democratic contingent in Washington to pressure Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. These bills are aimed at protecting and expanding voting rights.
