HOUSTON – Sen. Ted Cruz kicked off  a week-long tour of Texas Monday at JSC where he will focus on economic issues.

Cruz would not take questions from the media and instead focused on the various business leaders who were invited to take part in a roundtable at the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.

His focus was NASA, space exploration and how the industries benefit Texas’ economy.

“In my view space exploration is a critical priority,” Cruz said. “And it is a priority that I would like to see elevated. One of the amazing things that has happened from the 1980s until today is the incredible diversification of the economy of our state and space is a critical part of keeping that economic engine going.”

After his opening statement, the media was asked to step out of the room. Following the roundtable, Cruz toured NASA with his family.
