With election day 2018 more than a year away, a Houston-area energy attorney appears to be to fellow Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
Once a supporter of Cruz, says the senator has "nothing" to show for his time in Congress. Citing Cruz's and his shift away from supporting Texas' oil industry to out-of-state coal and ethanol interests, de Stefano says a "Texas first" approach is what's needed in Washington.
De Stefano says legislation, like tax reform, won't be passed without a willingness to work across the aisle in Congress, something that he says runs counter to Cruz's "extremist" style.
