State leaders are blocking urgent disaster aid for families hit by the July 4th floods, holding relief funds hostage for an unconstitutional redistricting scheme. Texas Senate Democrats walked out in protest and demanded immediate action on flood relief—without political strings. Texans deserve leaders who put people over politics, especially in times of crisis.
