(Minghui.org) Senator Ted Cruz issued a letter to the Southern USA Falun Dafa Association to commemorate World Falun Dafa Day, May 13, 2026.

Letter from Senator Ted Cruz

The letter reads, “Since Falun Dafa’s early introduction in Houston in the 1990s, practitioners have shared meaningful physical and mental health benefits, including reduced stress, improved focus, and greater resilience in communities across our great state. These practitioners and their contributions are undoubtedly helping improve the health and well-being of their fellow Texans.

“Occasions such as World Falun Dafa Day provide an opportunity to recognize the values of freedom of belief and cultural diversity, as well as the positive contributions of those who uphold these values each day. As we mark this period, let us remember the challenges and successes of the millions worldwide who observe this practice on this day. To those living in the Great State of Texas, let this stand as a reminder that we are fortunate to live in the United States, where liberty is protected, and in Texas, where that spirit stands strong.”
