2026 Texas General Election

The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill today is a big, beautiful win for Texas families, workers, seniors, and small businesses. This legislation locks in President Trump's historic tax cuts — protecting taxpayers in my district from a devastating 26% tax increase, which would have been the largest in American history. It also delivers $13.5 billion in border reimbursements for states like Texas, and makes the most significant investments in border security ever seen.

Supports locking in President Trump's tax cuts to avoid what he describes as a 26% tax increase.

The Conscience Protection Act of 2025 strengthens and expands the Weldon Amendment, a federal provision—attached to annual appropriations bills since 2004—that prohibits any federal, state, or local government from discriminating against or penalizing health care providers who decline to perform, pay for, or refer for abortions. The bill codifies these protections into permanent law and establishes a civil right of action, allowing individuals and entities to seek legal recourse if their conscience rights are violated. “As a father of three beautiful daughters and a firm believer that life begins at conception, protecting the unborn is not just a policy stance—it's a moral obligation. That’s why one of my top priorities in Congress is defending life and the people who stand up for it,” said Rep. Pfluger.

Rep. Pfluger Introduces Bill to Protect Healthcare Providers Who Refuse to Support or Promote Abortion

"The Conscience Protection Act of 2025 safeguards healthcare professionals from being penalized or discriminated against for not participating in, paying for, or facilitating abortions due to their deeply held beliefs. It builds on and strengthens the Weldon Amendment, ensuring no doctor, nurse, or provider is punished by government overreach for following their conscience. I’m proud to lead this effort alongside Senator Lankford as we push back on radical policies that threaten the sanctity of life and the freedom of those who protect it."

Said he believes life begins at conception and prioritizes protecting the unborn.

Pfluger was among the Republican legislators who participated in this. On January 6, 2021 in the hours after the violent insurrection at the Capitol, Pfluger voted to omit Arizona and/or Pennsylvania from the counting of presidential electors, which could have altered the outcome of the election in Trump’s favor.

Rep. August Pfluger: “The future of the United States depends on secure elections, and conservatives in Congress are ready with a plan to make sure every election is free and fair. The ACE Act provides states with critical tools to secure their elections and strengthen voter ID requirements, bans non-citizens from voting, prevents taxpayer dollars from funding congressional campaigns, protects conservative voices and free speech by preventing a ‘Misinformation Czar,’ and more. Election security is vital to the future of our nation, and I am proud to support this legislation to restore confidence in our voting system.”
