I believe the voices of conservatives have not been heard for a very long time in our district. When elected, I will change that for you.
There are four (4)main items I want to begin working on ASAP:
(1) NO TOLL ROADS IN TEXAS, especially not in District 119! Texans should not have to pay for the roads we drive on. Texas government must properly allocate funds and competently manage the state highway system in such a way that tax payer money is spent wisely on our roads and highways.
(2) BORDER SECURITY means local security. Texas government must beef up law enforcement capabilities and manpower along the Texas border to prevent violence associated with drug cartels that endangerTexans and push drugs into our community. Most of the drugs found by law enforcement in District 119 come from Mexico or are locally manufactured by those with ties to Mexican drug cartels. The better we secure our border and prevent drug smuggling the safer our streets will be.
(3) HIGHER EDUCATION for our kids in District 119. Tuition prices charged by state supported colleges are beginning to get out of hand, and with the deregulation of school tuition we have seen prices explode to new heights. At this rate, the Class of 2020 will have spent over $80,000 in tuition alone. A state supported college should be affordable for all people wishing to attend, and price should not exclude some from the American dream of higher education.
(4) BALANCE STATE BUDGET without more taxes. Our state will have a substantial fiscal deficit to face in the 2011 legislative session. We cannot spend our way out of debt and we cannot place additional tax burdens on Texans. We must support our private sector economy that provides for more jobs and better products and services in our community. Levying more taxes is not the answer!
We must instead downsize government and upsize business enterprise by cutting budgets of fat and ineffective state agencies whose “good enough for government” attitude is no longer welcome in Texas, and work to encourage small business growth and entrepreneurship.
As your State Representative for District 119 I will fight for common sense solutions to these important issues and others that I’ll face as your legislator and friend.
