This is a Republican primary race.  Do you promise, if elected, to abide by the RPT platform? And if not, please enumerate what problems you have.

Yes

Do you support Interposition and Nullification as it pertains to Texas State Sovereignty?

Interposition and Nullification are synonymous terms that I support as it  pertains to "Texas State Sovereignty."   The Constitution of the United States 10th Amendment was written by our Founding Father's to protect  all Citizen's from an overreaching Federal Government.  I fit in with the 64% of Americans that  believe our Federal Government is too big and overreaching!   I will support or create legislation to uphold Principles 13 and 14 of the  Platform of The Republican Party of Texas, 

What do you primarily rely on to help you make difficult decisions as it relates to public policy?

I will go above and beyond to talk to the voters of District 15 that the legislation will impact the most.  I will also send out questionaires to all Republican and Tea Party Groups as well as all Republican Voters.  I am a "Hands-On" person.  I will go meetings where constituates can ask questions about the legislation and if I don't know the answer, I will go to the experts on the impact of the legislation and ask questions. My phone line and email will always be open and available to the people I represent! Then, I will stand up for the people of our district!  This is the peoples seat, not my seat  If you ever see me stray from representing your voice, I want you to remind me that I am your voice in Austin!

What is the most important problem you see that needs to be addressed by the position your running for and what do you propose to solve it?

The most important issue for the Texas House of Representatives that will have the most impact on District 15 is electing a Speaker that can pass Conservativie legislation through the House and Supports the Principals of the Texas Republican Party Platform. 

 

What are the three main reasons you are running for this office? Do you see any potential conflicts of interest?

1.  I am a  a pro-life conservative determined to reduce the intrusions of government into our lives and to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights.

2.   Supporting Quality Education -  I have the educational experience to know where the regulations and mandates are burdening our        school system and will fight for serious reform thats gives parents real choices for their children!

3.  I will stand for lowering taxes for all Texans!

Many Texans have made the decision to live in unincorporated areas and forgo the “benefits” of living within a city in order to secure more personal liberty and freedom. Yet, when incorporated areas overspend and live beyond their means, those incorporated areas, with the blessings of state government, are allowed to assert a claim to the private property of those who have chosen to remain apart from those incorporated areas. How will you correct this?

Please fully describe what methods of funding roads in Texas you will support and oppose, and give your reasoning. Please discuss all revenue sources, tax diversions, tolls, and debt.

~Not Answered Yet~

In less than 10 years, the GOP-controlled legislature has departed from pay-as-you-go road building and instead plunged Texas into $31 billion (principal & interest) in road debt rather than end road tax diversions (gas tax and vehicle sales tax) and use our existing taxes to properly fund roads. Under Perry's leadership, they’ve also bought into public private partnerships that undermine our state sovereignty over our public infrastructure by handing control of our public roads to private, foreign toll operators in 50 year sweetheart deals. How will you end the transfer of Texas sovereignty & protect existing tax funded roads?
