Interests of a 6-Year-Old Child

A six-year-old's actual interests are safety (especially at school), well-funded public schools, healthcare when sick, stable non-deported parents, clean air and water, freedom from being a prop in culture wars, and a livable future. Cornyn earns substantially more six-year-old credit than Paxton: BSCA directed $13B to school mental-health funding plus the under-21 background-check provisions targeting firearms (the leading cause of death for U.S. children), and Fix NICS strengthened the federal background-check database after Sutherland Springs. Paxton's ATF litigation made it easier for guns to flow to people who can't pass background checks, his voucher push defunds the neighborhood school, his Ten Commandments mandate forces religious content on first-graders of every faith, and his deportation-first immigration posture risks the six-year-old's classmates' parents. Both earn partial credit on school choice and abortion-as-protective-of-future-children.
