In 2017, he voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Marchant expressed opposition to the proposed "Green New Deal" resolution in 2019, alleging that it would cost up to $93 trillion without having any effect on the global climate.[6] [7] Political campaignsDuring the 2003 Texas redistricting, the 24th District, represented by 13-term Democrat Martin Frost, was reconfigured.
