Ted Cruz is a Republican senator from Texas and chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
In March 2026, Cruz criticized the department-of-war, faa, and CBP for poor interagency coordination after two back-to-back C-UAS incidents in Texas. He called the Pentagon’s reversal on the ROTOR Act air-safety bill “objectively false.” See src-texas-counter-drone-senators-2026-03.
