Op-Ed: Powering the Future of Defense at Red River Army Depot

By U.S. Senator Ted Cruz

The Red River Army Depot is critical to Texarkana and the economy of Northeast Texas, serving as a major contributor to jobs, investment, and the community.

I am proud to have led the effort to modernize the Red River Amy Depot, turning it into the premier location for drone manufacturing and lithium extraction. We need an army that’s not just ready to fight the enemies of today, but also the enemies of tomorrow. I want to thank the servicemembers for all of their hard work, and for keeping Texas and the United States strong.

As Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, I’m laser-focused on American jobs and economic prosperity, which is why it was great to attend and participate in the Milken Institute Global Conference this week alongside Kevin Hassett, Brad Gerstner, and Michael Milken.

Texas is committed to being the best place on Earth to start, grow, or bring a business. The reason companies are coming to the Lone Star State is that we not only want jobs, but also foster an environment where businesses can succeed and grow. I am proud to work hard every day to support continued growth in Texas and American jobs and businesses.Image
ICYMI: Ted Cruz: Trump accounts are personal Social Security accounts

This week, I had the pleasure of visiting Neuralink in Austin, Texas. The innovation and technology they are developing is truly extraordinary, by giving people who are paralyzed the ability to move, people who are visually impaired the ability to see, and those who cannot speak the ability to communicate.

This is next-generation technology and is transforming lives. I am proud to have Neuralink in the Lone Star State.

READ: Cruz: Iran Conflict ‘Will Be Over in a Matter of Months’

It was great to meet with the men and women of Allen Control Systems (ACS) this week in Austin, Texas. ACS is a leader in the field of autonomous precision robotics, and its innovative technology helps ensure the U.S. military remains the most lethal force on the face of the planet.

Texas companies like ACS continue to lead the way in developing technologies that will shape future military engagements.

Keep Texas Strong,
