John Cornyn, R-Texas, Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.
As a constituent, albeit unwillingly, of Rep. Andrew Clyde, I have to ask, with true bewilderment, why he chose to vote against making June 19 (Juneteenth) a national holiday. I understand some of his other actions and votes, even though I strongly disapprove.
