Mansfield seeks reelection amid record of cost cuts and port aid
Congressman J. J. Mansfield announces his bid for re election, citing aggressive federal consolidations and lower government overhead. He touts tariff votes favoring farms, opposition to ship subsidies, and a $571 million reduction in current appropriations. He highlights port improvements on the Texas coast and reduced ocean freight rates, crediting Rivers and Harbors leadership. He notes his wheelchair use but continues to serve, delivering replies to thousands of letters and urging voter support.
