Texas

Texas's voice in Washington — its U.S. Senators and House members. Federal law, not state law.

Data from Congress.gov

The people who represent and run Texas at the state level — as opposed to Washington. Its State Senate and House write Texas law (the budget, criminal code, schools); its governors lead the executive; its state-court judges interpret it.
