Press Release from the Office of State Senator Roland Gutierrez: Picture from Campaign Video
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – Today, Democratic Texas Senator Roland Gutierrez announced his candidacy for United States Senate. In Spanish and English language announcement videos, Senator Roland Gutierrez promises to fight back against the systems that have left so many Texans behind. Senator Gutierrez highlights the impact he, and so many Texans faced, in the wake of the Uvalde tragedy, and vows to turn that frustration into action. An outspoken advocate who has never backed down from a fight, Senator Gutierrez called out the failings of Texas’ politicians, specifically Senator Ted Cruz, who abandoned Texans in a winter storm where 800 people died.
In the video, Senator Gutierrez describes the root of his drive in public service: his parents, who immigrated to the United States in search of the American Dream, and instilled in him that “if you work hard for this country, then this country will work for you.”
“I’m running against Ted Cruz because everything that we’ve seen in this state has been nothing but taking care of rich people while the poor people, the working class, get screwed over,”
I’m running for the U.S. Senate to fight back against the systems that have left so many Texans behind.
Ted Cruz abandoned Texas long before he left us to die in the winter storm.
