Political Representatives

In any area, the government appoints its representatives for facilitating the lives of the citizens. I am living in Texas District 7 and following are the three representatives that are serving at present.

Lizzie Fletcher

Elizabeth Ann Pannill Fletcher is working as an American attorney and politician in the state of Texas. She is a democrat and is a member of the House of Representatives from Texas’s 7th congressional district. At present, she is 44 years old. He belongs to a white American family. She served for around 2 years at Texas’s 7th congressional district (this tenure stated from 2018 and ended on 3rd Jan 2019). He is one of the popular female democrats. She is a lawyer by profession. She is married and her husband is Scott Fletcher. She was associated with the Committee on Science, Space and Technology Members (Record). She was also assigned the committee of Transportation and infrastructure. In Texas, Lizzie is focusing on providing access to the affordable health services (Reproductive health services).

Cornyn John

He is the senator of my area and is one of the top five most effective senators of Representative in the 115th Congress. He is a white American and at present is of 67 years old. He has been serving since 2002 as he has been elected and re-elected for three terms. He is the follower of Restorationist (Churches of Christ). He is married and his spouse name of Sandy Cornyn. By profession, he is a lawyer, politician, and judge. He is one of the most influential male senators of Texas 7th district. Cornyn contributed a lot for improving the finance of Texas. He used the campaign committee fundraising and used these funds for improving Texas’s lives. He is also trying to improve the legislation of Texas.

Ted Cruz

Rafael Edward Cruz is a Canadian-American attorney and politician who is serving as junior senator at Texas since 2013 so it could be said that he has been serving as a senator for the last 7 years. By birth, he was a Catholic and in 1975 he became the Evangelical Protestant after attending Bible Study with one of his colleagues. Cruz is married to Heidi Nelson. Professionally, he is a senator.

Taking in consideration all the information regarding the three political representatives, I would say that all the three representatives are doing best in their fields and the committees assigned to them (Mervis & Jeffrey, pp. 271-273). One fact that must be taken into account is that none of the three government representatives have made any particular effort for facilitating the students.

After gathering the basic knowledge of the position of these politicians, I would say that they all are doing best in their fields. They all have their priorities and thinking about the Texans. All the three politicians are trying hard for improving the life quality of Texans i.e. Ted is focusing on refining the domestics and social policy, Lizzie is looking into improving health services and Cornyn is trying to improve financial conditions of Texans. As far as rating is concerned, I would give 9/10 points to John Cornyn as he is dealing with the international affairs i.e. terrorism, international narcotics control, immigration, and border security, etc. (Evensen & Darrick, pp. 128-130). For me, out of the these three comes Ted Cruz, I would give him 8/10 points by evaluation of his performance. He has been trying to improve armed services as threats are emerging. He has always brought reforms in the judiciary and is also focusing on senior citizens. In the end, I would give 7/10 points to Lizzie though she is doing exceptionally well as compared to the other two politicians; she is bringing improvements only in selective areas of health service and infrastructure.

This activity provided me with much useful information about my area’s representatives. After performing this activity, I became more aware of the political representatives about whom I did not have much knowledge previously. I came to know about the service that they all provided in our area about which I was not well aware of. Ted Cruz in Texas is trying to bring improvements in domestic and social policies.
