SEGUIN, Texas (December 4, 2025) — Conservative Republican Josh Cortez issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court allowing the redrawn Texas congressional map to stand for the 2026 election.

“The Supreme Court’s decision to let Texas’ redrawn districts stand is a win for the 35th District, a win for voters, and a win for fairness. Unelected judges should NOT override the will of Texans, and today’s ruling restores confidence that our voices still matter. I’m running to represent a congressional district connected by geography, economy, and shared values, a district ready for fresh, experienced, local leadership to represent them in Congress.”
