In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“For more than six decades, Texas has been where America's human spaceflight dreams become reality. We thank President Trump for his leadership in launching the U.S. Space Academy. Texas is ready to turn that vision into reality. If America is going to build the world's premier academy for space, Texas has all the right stuff - the talent, institutions, infrastructure, and experience to launch the next generation of American space leaders. From Gemini and Apollo to Space Shuttle and Artemis, Texas has trained astronauts, managed missions, and helped advance America's exploration pursuits beyond Earth's orbit. America's space program is built across the country, but Texas is where the pieces come together. We are ready to lead the next generation of space pioneers and look forward to showing why Texas is the right home for the U.S. Space Academy.”

“Enough is enough. The American people deserve a government that puts their safety first, and House Republicans will continue fighting to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and defend this nation with the strength it demands.”
Babin Statement on House Passage of DHS Funding to Secure the HomelandMar 27, 2026 · Official · babin.house.gov · source
“For more than a month, Senate Democrats have held our homeland security hostage, refusing to fund the very agencies tasked with protecting the American people. Today, House Republicans acted to fully fund DHS, end the dysfunction, and put the safety of our nation first.”
