Why Cornyn?
After decades in Washington, John Cornyn is synonymous with D.C.—so much so that it’s hard to tell where the institution ends and he begins. He fights for what D.C. wants: the deals, the headlines, the warrantless requests. Experience? He’s not just experienced; he’s institutional.
The issues
Standing Up To The Second Amendment.
When Washington needed someone to stand up to the Second Amendment after Uvalde, John Cornyn answered the call. He led the Republican side of the first major federal gun bill in decades—red-flag-style programs, “boyfriend loophole” closure, extra background-check time for young buyers—and got booed at his own party's convention for it. Washington got its bipartisan win; you got more federal strings.
Protecting The FBI From Having To Get A Warrant To Spy On You.
When the House passed a privacy bill 419–0 to strengthen email and electronic privacy, Senator Cornyn made sure the FBI wouldn't be left behind. As Majority Whip, he tried to attach an amendment giving the Bureau more warrantless access to Americans' internet records—login history, IP addresses, payment info, session times. No warrant required. Protecting the FBI from having to get one.
Fighting To Save Wall Street From The Consequences Of Their Own Actions.
When Wall Street needed rescuing from the consequences of its own actions, Senator Cornyn was there. He voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program—hundreds of billions in taxpayer-backed bailouts. Your money, their solvency.
