With the Democratic primary runoff over, weve finally entered general election season. But as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate MJ Hegar begins a highly competitive battle to unseat John Cornyn, millions of Texans are learning about Cornyns record for the first time.
Unlike junior senator Ted Cruz, Cornyn tends to stay out of the spotlight. So much so that 38% of Texans have no opinion of him, officially making him a nonentity in Texas, even after nearly 18 years in office. Add in those who already dont support him, and you find that two-thirds of Texans either dont know or dont like him.
Consistently, Cornyn has shown he is anti-reproductive rights, anti-science, anti-civil rights, and anti-Texan. By contrast, Hegar has committed to progressive values that show she is ready to represent our diverse state in the U.S. Senate. Her stances on health care, LGBTQIA+ rights, immigration rights, and reproductive rights stand in stark contrast to Cornyns shameful record that is out-of-touch with everyday Texans.
If you dont know who John Cornyn is, let him show you. And then vote him out of office in November.

(5,068 posts)the suckiest of all. The more progressive the senator was, the higher the score. Cornyn's was close to zero. It would have been zero, but a hideous bill he voted for had a provision for veterans, and that gave him a few points. So he's been consistent, at least.
The "not knowing" must be a deliberate strategy, because he's one of the ranking Republicans in the Senate--Whip? Asst Majority Leader? He's got some kind of title.
