US Senator
Incumbent John Cornyn voted 93% of the time for Trump’s first term positions and for all second term Trump appointments. He is a modern master of the Senate who has sponsored twice as many bills as the average Senator and gotten nearly ten times as many passed into law. In his career he has also raised more than $400 million for the Republican party. (1)
