Commissioner Miller Condemns Barbaric Antisemitic Terrorist Attack in Australia
"I share the horror and disgust at the barbaric antisemitic attack on a Hanukkah festival in Australia by radical Islamic terrorists. Suicidal empathy led the West to import the seeds of our own destruction.

May God keep the victims and impose His justice on the perpetrators."  [More]

Commissioner Sid Miller Praises Trump’s Insistence on Mexico Water Treaty Enforcement
President Trump is exactly right to call out Mexico’s ongoing failure to meet its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty. Texans have been sounding this alarm for years, and I have been on the front lines of that fight. From championing stronger water conservation practices to pushing for the expedited delivery of every acre-foot owed to the Rio Grande Basin, it’s clear Texas agriculture cannot survive without reliable, treaty-guaranteed water. When Mexico withholds what it owes, our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities suffer.  [More]
