As a proud Texan and lifelong conservative who loves our country, Im ready to fight for the principles that make Texas strong and America exceptional, Teixeira said in a statement announcing his bid for Texas' 21st Congressional District. He added, It takes teamwork to win, and Im ready to help defend President Trumps America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty. Teixeira, 45, is running for the seat currently held by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who recently announced that he plans to run for Texas attorney general. The 21st Congressional District covers the area north of San Antonio. Congressman Chip Roy has represented this district with unwavering courage and leaves an impressive legacy of principled conservative leadership," Teixeira said in his statement. "Im running to ensure District 21 remains prosperous and free for generations to come.
