The majority of Texas’ representatives, starting with its Republican senators, fared poorly. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz both received grades of zero out of 15 possible points on the scorecard, meaning that they took anti-democracy positions on every piece of legislation they could.Democratic Reps.
