I covered the Texas congressional delegation for the Dallas Morning News, focusing on Senator Ted Cruz and the intersection between his 2016 presidential campaign and Senate career. My coverage revealed how the 2016 Republican presidential primary influenced Cruz’s abandonment of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and his fight to close the Export-Import Bank. I also explained how federal defense, immigration, trade and environmental policy would affect Texans and impact the Texas economy.
