Ted Poe

I am grateful for the honor and privilege to represent the best people in America, Texas’s Second Congressional District. Thanks to the good Lord, I’m in good health, but it’s time for the next step, i am looking forward to spending more time in Texas, especially with my 12 grandkids who have all been born since I was first elected to Congress.

I will continue this work every day until I retire at the end of this term, and that’s just the way it is.

But no matter what changes were made, the goal post kept getting moved and at the end of the day, ‘ no ’ was the answer, and sometimes you’re going to have to say yes.

The issue was always the conservatives were not brought to the table in the Republican Party, now we've been brought to the table.

There's some members of the Freedom Caucus -- they'd vote 'no' against the Ten Commandments if it came up for a vote.
