Working For You During Democrats' Shutdown

Congressman McCaul: "I want constituents to know that my office will remain fully open during the shutdown. As federal agencies experience delays, we stand ready to assist with any casework needs."

Texas Insider Report WASHINGTON, D.C. – On September 19, House Republicans passed a clean government funding bill, with zero partisan policies attached. This is the same bill Democrats championed and voted for 13 times under President Biden. But now that Trump is in office, they would rather shut down our government than vote along with Republicans to keep the lights on. It's clear they're prioritizing politics over their legislative duties.

Government shutdowns force our troops and law enforcement to risk their lives without pay, halt crucial veterans benefits and services, freeze SBA loans that keep small businesses alive, close our national parks and monuments, can cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and signal to our adversaries that democracy doesn't work. I urge Senate Democrats, who are holding up the funding bill, to reverse course and pass our legislation before more damage is done.

Until then, I want constituents to know that my office will remain fully open during the shutdown. As federal agencies experience delays, we stand ready to assist with any casework needs.

Justice and Answers for the Yogurt Shop Murders
The 1991 yogurt shop murders — a 34-year-old cold case in which four young girls were brutally killed — have grieved the Austin community for decades, but we never gave up hope that one day justice would prevail and the truth would come to light.

I’m so relieved that, this week, the suspect was finally identified, marking a major breakthrough in this horrific case.

These young girls’ families deserve closure. That’s exactly why I introduced and passed legislation to allow families like these to request a federal review of a loved one’s cold case. This case proves we should never stop fighting for the justice victims’ families deserve.

I also want to thank all of the law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly on this case to help provide answers for the families and the entire Austin community. While absolutely nothing can ever bring these four girls back, I hope this brings some peace to their families after all these years.

More Good News From the White House
This week, President Trump announced he is doubling the amount of funding for research into pediatric cancer using artificial intelligence, which could lead to historic breakthroughs. As the founder of the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus, I've long fought for these precious children to have a voice in Washington — and that's exactly what they're getting from President Trump's White House. This funding will ensure the U.S. produces the world's most innovative treatments — and eventually, cures — for this heartbreaking disease. As the president said, "We will defeat childhood cancer once and for all!"
