WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today addressed members of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas. There, he participated in a Q&A session with attendees, and discussed his efforts to create more good-paying jobs and expand opportunity for Texans throughout the state.
“It is an honor to meet with members of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas,” Sen. Cruz said. “Since 1974, you have been fighting for Texas communities with your stewardship of community banks throughout our state, and playing a critical role in Texas’ economic engine by providing loans for a majority of small businesses.
Cruz continued: "Small businesses create two thirds of all new jobs, and my number-one priority in the Senate is jobs and economic growth. If we can end burdensome regulations from Dodd-Frank and the CFPB, and simplify the tax code, we can make it easier for Texas businesses to grow and prosper, and expand opportunities for hardworking Texans across our great state.”
