Pfluger: The One Big Beautiful Bill is Good for Texas-11

Secretary Rollins announces a plan to Eradicate New World Screwworm in Texas

Texas Insider Report WASHINGTON, D.C.– Last week, I called for the complete and permanent suspension of Iran's nuclear program, discussed the wins for Texas-11 in the One Big Beautiful Bill, commended the action of Secretary Rollins to eradicate new world screwworm (NWS),
The U.S. House passed one of the most consequential and historic pieces of legislation. The One Big Beautiful Bill unleashes American energy, extends the 2017 Trump Tax cuts for hardworking families, provides relief for seniors, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, and much more. Congress must continue on an aggressive timeline to get the One Big Beautiful Bill to President Trump's desk to be signed into law.

The American people want results—promises made, promises kept. We know it's not perfect, but it's an incredible bill that united Republicans and delivers results for American families. We need to take this step towards securing real wins for the American people. The U.S. Senate must pass this legislation.

Secretary Rollins announces a plan to Eradicate New World Screwworm in Texas
This week, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced a plan to open a $8.5 million sterile New World screwworm (NWS) fly dispersal facility at Moore Air Base in Edinburg, Texas, to help combat the NWS threat. I have joined my colleagues several times this year, urging action on this issue, and I am thrilled to see Secretary Rollins doing just that. In addition to the fly dispersal facility, Secretary Rollins also noted that they are looking at establishing a production facility at Moore Air Base over the next 3-4 years.

The New World Screwworm had devastating impacts on livestock and ranchers, and we must do everything necessary to ensure it does not re-enter the United States. I've joined several of my colleagues in calling for urgent action to eradicate NWS and opening a facility to combat it, just like the one in Edinburg, Texas. I applaud Secretary Rollins' leadership on this issue and the immediate action she has taken.
