Steve Toth Opposes Border Security Funding while National Border Patrol Council Formally Endorses Congressman Crenshaw

[TX-02] – In a stunning move that undermines his own rhetoric on supporting border security, during the most recent Regular Legislative Session Steve Toth voted against Texas’s General Appropriations Bill that included billions in state border-security funding for the 2026–27 biennium. The bill provided resources for the Texas Military Department, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and multiple agencies directly responsible for securing the border and supporting Operation Lone Star.

How someone can loudly proclaim themselves a defender of border security while voting against the very funding that makes that security possible is hypocrisy of the highest order. Toth’s vote effectively undermined the work of the Texas Military Department, DPS troopers, local sheriffs, and the thousands of personnel who rely on these resources to carry out Operation Lone Star.

This failure by Toth (who is also known for his infamous photo ops at the southern border) stands in stark contrast to Congressman Crenshaw’s more than a dozen trips to and across the border, where he has consistently met with subject-matter experts, assessed conditions firsthand, and worked to craft informed, effective solutions.

“Dan Crenshaw has been a great partner and that’s why he has the support and endorsement of the National Border Patrol Council,” said Paul Perez, President of the NBPC, the U.S.’ largest border patrol union. “He understands the issues and in his first month in office he went to the Rio Grande Valley to learn what front line agents needed to secure our border. 

“In the years since, he has been down on the border multiple times and knows that manpower is our single biggest challenge. In response, he introduced legislation to waive the polygraphy requirement for military, veteran, and prior law enforcement applicants to help get us the agents we so desperately need.

“More recently, he has turned his focus to the root of the problem — Mexican drug cartels.  Mexican drug cartels drive the crises at our border.  They control illegal immigration, human trafficking, and drug smuggling along the border and are responsible for flooding our community with fentanyl.  Dan Crenshaw will continue to fight for border security and that is why he has our full support and endorsement for reelection in 2026.”

Texans deserve leaders like Congressman Crenshaw who back up their words with action, not politicians who talk tough on border security only to walk away when it matters most.

Crenshaw Holds 28-Point Lead in Recent Poll, Defeats Steve Toth in His Own State House District

[TX-02] – After bragging that he could win his campaign for Congressional District 2 “straight up against [Crenshaw] by 16 points,” reality has dashed Steve Toth’s hopes in the form of a new poll that not only shows him being crushed by Congressman Crenshaw by nearly 30 points in the primary but also losing his own State House District. 

Toth has consistently claimed that his campaign is performing well in the polls. In his recent Tucker Carlson interview, he went as far as claiming that a large portion of Harris and Montgomery County GOP primary voters have an unfavorable view of Congressman Crenshaw. No source was provided by Toth, leading voters to believe that the numbers were simply fabricated. According to the new poll, which shows nearly 60% of GOP primary voters view Congressman Crenshaw favorably—completely debunking Toth’s claims—that may well be the case.

Some other findings from the poll, which can be viewed below, also show Congressman Crenshaw with a 30-point lead over Toth among self-identified Strong Republicans, and over a 25-point lead over Toth with voters who identify as religious conservatives.

Because of Congressman Crenshaw’s huge advantage, it’s no wonder Toth feels the need to lie, something he has repeatedly done in the past to gain any sort of traction in his campaign for Congress.  With the facts, momentum, and voters all on his side, Congressman Crenshaw is poised to deliver a decisive victory in March.

Toth’s Record Reveals Pattern of Supporting Government Expansion Over Taxpayer Relief

Toth’s Record Reveals Pattern of Supporting Government Expansion Over Taxpayer Relief

[TX-02] – As more information about Rep. Steve Toth’s voting history emerges, Congressional District 2 voters have recently been reminded of Toth’s support for incorporating The Woodlands, a measure that directly leads to bigger government and higher taxes in our local communities.

In a now infamous video from 2021, Toth tried to mislead his constituents on the topic of incorporation, stating that it would lead to a “locally controlled government” instead of a “government of big business,” when incorporation would have created more bureaucracy, higher taxes, and less accountability, all paid for by local homeowners. Toth’s idea of “local control” simply means higher taxes and more government, not more freedom.

“For someone who constantly calls himself a staunch conservative, it’s shocking to see Toth unapologetically advocate for bigger government and higher costs for families,” said Bruce Tough, former Chairman of The Woodlands Township. “He’s completely out of touch with his constituents. Instead of listening to homeowners worried about higher taxes and more bureaucracy, he tried to convince them that bigger government was somehow a good thing. That’s not leadership, it’s pure arrogance.”

This pattern of behavior, however, has continued into the present, when during a recent Special Legislative Session Toth voted against legislation (SB 10) that would have directly combatted rising local property taxes.

The people of The Woodlands and across Congressional District 2 have repeatedly rejected higher taxes and bloated bureaucracy, yet Steve Toth continues to ignore their will. Toth’s record on incorporation and property taxes reflects a troubling pattern of supporting government expansion over taxpayer relief, a record voters won’t soon forget.

USA Today Op-Ed: Mexican drug cartels are terrorizing Americans. Here’s how the US needs to fight back.

Congressman Dan Crenshaw’s op-ed from USA Today. Published on March 8, 2023.

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes and Ismael Zambada Garcia. If you don’t know their names, you should. They should be as recognizable as Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein or Pablo Escobar.

These men and the cartels they command are responsible for killing tens of thousands of Americans every year. They live and operate right in our backyard and have more control and influence over the security of our border with Mexico than the U.S. government.

These men lead two of the most dangerous Mexican drug cartels – the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel. The cartels are well-armed and well-funded. They are not street gangs. In fact, they act more like the Islamic State terrorist organization than the mob.

In January, the Mexican military arrested Ovidio Guzman – son of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel leader known as “El Chapo.” The arrest played out like the battles we saw for years in the Middle East between government armed forces and terrorist groups.

The Sinaloa Cartel, equipped with .50 caliber machine guns and armored vehicles, killed 10 Mexican soldiers and injured dozens. Thousands of Mexican soldiers were involved, and the operation was finally completed after days of intense warfare in the streets of Culiacan, Mexico.

But unlike the battles with ISIS and al-Qaida, this did not happen in a distant land. It happened just south of our border.

The cartel-fueled violence can easily spill into the United States and threaten American lives, and that’s exactly what has happened.

Border communities are increasingly overwhelmed by the influx of migrants who must pay a toll to the cartels to facilitate their crossing. Cartel members wearing camouflage and carrying long guns are regularly spotted on both sides of the border.

Cartels overwhelm communities on the border

Border communities are increasingly overwhelmed by the influx of migrants who must pay a toll to the cartels to facilitate their crossing. Cartel members wearing camouflage and carrying long guns are regularly spotted on both sides of the border.

On Tuesday, two of the four Americans kidnapped last week in the border city of Matamoros were found dead and two others were rescued. Mexican authorities say the Americans, reportedly visiting Mexico for a medical procedure, were caught in a fight between rival cartels.

Earlier this year, six people, including a baby, were murdered in California because of cartel-related activity.

But the greatest threat to American lives is the newest product from these cartels: fentanyl. Using chemical precursors from China, the cartels manufacture this narcotic that is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine.

They take advantage of and facilitate the chaos at our border so they can traffic fentanyl into America with ease.

Fentanyl kills thousands of Americans each year

Due to its highly addictive properties, it is laced into street drugs like oxycontin, cocaine, heroin and even Adderall or Xanax. The result is deadly, killing more than 70,000 Americans a year.

This isn’t a traditional drug problem that can be solved with addiction treatment. This is a deliberate poisoning of Americans.

Every day, we read horrific stories of young people who – without their knowledge – took a fentanyl-laced drug and died. We see the faces of innocent children targeted by fentanyl dealers on apps like Snapchat.

Last year, the Drug Enforcement Administration seized enough fentanyl to kill every single American – 379 million doses. This isn’t isolated to border states like Texas. It’s turning up in the deepest pockets of the country.

We need to target these narco-terrorists on all fronts – financially, with increased criminal penalties and even militarily. I’ve proposed several pieces of legislation that would do just that, including an Authorization for the Use of Military Force against the cartels, which I introduced with Rep. Mike Waltz.

We also need to hit their wallets. That’s why I introduced the Declaring War on the Cartels Act, which would seize the cartels’ assets. My bill would also sanction and deny aid to foreign governments that coordinate with cartels or do not take the necessary action to stop cartel activity in their own countries – Mexico is an obvious example.

It would also authorize increased punishment for anyone convicted of aiding cartel-related crimes by adding up to 20 years to their sentence, and naturalized citizens could lose their citizenship if they are convicted.

Fight against cartels should be bipartisan effort

This is an enemy every American should want to defeat. Every policymaker, regardless of their political affiliation, should be joining legislation like mine. Unlike the border crisis or immigration reform, taking on this common enemy is not inherently partisan.

In a closely divided Congress, opportunities for bipartisan cooperation are rare. We should seize them whenever possible. Stopping the Mexican drug cartels from killing Americans offers a unique opportunity for immediate bipartisanship.

We should not let this chance to save American lives pass us by.

This is our vision

This is our vision

What do conservatives stand for? How do we win – not only the election in November – but also the culture war at large? How do we prove that conservatism is the only governing philosophy that can ensure freedom and prosperity for all Americans? I’ve been pondering these questions for a long time – and now it’s more important than ever for conservatives to have the right answers. So, this past weekend, I tried to articulate those answers. And the right path forward for us to reverse the disastrous course America is currently headed down.


Please watch my speech above.


Conservatives believe that when you maximize freedom, strong people will thrive. When you rely on and build upon the proven principles of free enterprise, the protection of natural rights, the institutional structures of a republic, you create a formula for boundless success and prosperity.
And it’s the values of the Republican Party that protect and promote these principles. It’s the Republican Party that defends the greatest ideas and the greatest founding documents in history. It is the Republican Party that places faith in the individual to pursue their happiness without the weight of government on their back. The Republican Party is America’s last great hope.


Conservatives must be happy warriors and proudly tell the world why freedom is the path to prosperity. That’s how we win in November and for years to come.

The Border Crisis Is About to Get Worse

The Border Crisis Is About to Get Worse

18,000.


That’s how many illegal immigrants could cross into our country EVERY DAY once Joe Biden rescinds Title 42. We are currently experiencing 7,000 illegal crossings every day as our border continues to be overrun. Remember, Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary said that 1,000 per day was a crisis. 


Joe Biden’s border crisis is unlike anything we’ve seen before. And that’s why we need to take action.


Joe Biden claims that we don’t need Title 42 anymore because the pandemic is winding down (even though we are all still forced to wear masks on planes and kids are still forcibly masked in school). But there’s another public health emergency on the rise: fentanyl overdoses.
Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for people aged 18-45 in the United States. There were 100,000 in 2021 for this age group, meaning fentanyl killed twice as many people as COVID-19, car accidents, cancer, and suicide.


As fentanyl pours across our border and into our communities, we need to extend Title 42 to be used to protect the American people from fentanyl smuggling at our border.


I’m supporting legislation to do just that but I need your help to put pressure on Joe Biden.


SIGN THE PETITION. TELL JOE BIDEN TO EXTEND TITLE 42 AT THE BORDER.
