PETE GALLEGO

Our voting records are not necessarily the same, but, you know, we're all Texans, and at the end of the day, we try to help each other out.

It was in the best interests of Zavala and other counties that we move forward with a farm bill and provide certainty to ranchers, farmers, food banks, and other providers.

If immigration reform doesn't happen, that doesn't say good things about our democracy, that everybody wants it, but Congress couldn't pass it.

Congress is more broken than ever. Congressman Will Hurd has quickly become part of the problem.

There's this fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party, and until that fight gets settled - because they're the majority - there's a lot of things that are pretty much on hold.

No one will steal my son's American Dream.

As an incumbent, if you are winning, your commercials are about motherhood and apple pie and the flag.

If you want to come fight the good fight to make a difference for people and to try to get the government back on track, where we govern from the middle and not from the extremes, then understand that it's a lonely road, and you're going to have a hard time.

I didn't come to Washington to be part of the problem.

I think it becomes incumbent upon a candidate to essentially disavow some of the things that are in that party platform. Otherwise, I think the assumption is that you are a true believer.

I told the president 'no' to special treatment for Congress when he tried to exempt them from Obamacare.

This is pool. This is setting up your next shot, and I always want to make sure when we're setting up San Antonio's next shot we have a good shot at making sure that we continue to build our infrastructure in such a way that San Antonio will be a player for years to come in national defense issues.

PACs don't vote in the district; people do.

When the law says you're entitled to an attorney, it doesn't mean you're entitled to an attorney who sleeps or an attorney who doesn't do his job.

In Mexico, they don't have birth certificates... They don't have registration cards for voters. They have one national ID. We don't have a national ID.

It's just so unfortunate that, as we get adjusted to this global economy, that the U.S. is even thinking about building walls.

I like having a battleground district because I think that's real-life America.

You want to empower people who think like you do.

Obama's very unpopular. I don't need a poll to tell me that.

We must work for a solution to address the senseless cuts that hurt our border, our economy, and our country.

My grandmother was not a U.S. citizen. Growing up along the border, you see the real human side of immigration - not the picture often drawn by politicians far removed from the border.

As the polarization in D.C. spreads, the people willing to come to the middle find less and less acceptance.

It's always bothersome when California does something better than Texas.

The luxury for me is that I've spent already several millions of dollars across the district getting people to know who I am... So, my name ID is really, really high.

We all want our border to be secure. However, certain individuals use this argument to stop us from ever enacting immigration reform.
