Mark Teixeira has a message for Texas Dems after redistricting: 'Have better policies'

"What I would tell Democrats in Texas, all over the country, is when you have policies that actually want to help Americans, come talk to us. But Republicans are out there, conservatives are out there with an America First agenda, and we're going to be helping Americans, helping Texans every single day."

The three-time All-Star called his policy focus "pretty simple."

"It's secure the border, low taxes, shrink the government while growing the economy, protect life and the Second Amendment. Those conservative principles - helping Americans, helping American families, helping America prosper - are what I will bring out on the trail, and what Texas families deserve," Teixeira said.

"The Texas 21st District is full of great people, patriots that love God, love their country, love the state of Texas, and I can't wait to go out there and meet all of them and make sure they understand what I believe in."
