Texas Reps. continue push for voting rights 1 day 47 seconds ago Monday, July 26 2021 Jul 26, 2021 July 26, 2021 7:32 AM July 26, 2021 in News - Local Share: Texas Rep. Alex Dominguez (D-Brownsville) is describing what Texas Democrats faced in their first two weeks in the nation’s capital. Texas Democrats are in Washington D.C. trying to get the federal government to pass two voting rights bills: the For the People Act, and the John Lewis Act. The For the People Act not only deals with voting reforms, but also creates a non-partisan group to re-district states, and enforces campaign contribution limits. But Rep. Dominguez says the fact that this bill has so many parts to it, is one obstacle to getting Democrats united behind it.
