I know that you share my outrage at the corruption, cronyism and incompetence that is dragging our great state down. However, it is not enough to just get mad about this mess. It is time to start cleaning it up. There are so many issues that need addressing. Here are a few that I think are priorities:
Education"Tuition deregulation” (link to charts showing UT system increases)
has placed a college education outside the reach of the typical working Texas family. Public schools are an essential component of a democracy. We must restore funding to our schools and invest in the future of this state.  Tell me your education story...

Transportation—District 29 faces increasing transportation gridlock.  We must develop mobility solutions that allow the economy to continue to prosper while taking proper care of this great state.  The current crowd in Austin seems unwilling to invest in our  transportation and transit infrastructure.  (click to read a report about our "crumbling infrastructure").  I oppose the Trans-Texas Corridor which uses public money to build a private road and will support legislation to stop this project.   What do you think will help our transportation blues? 

Health Care—Health care costs are weighing down business growth. Health care costs are also a leading factor in personal bankruptcies. The economic security of our nation depends on resolving this issue. Tell me your Health Care story...

Taxation—It’s time to end the taxation “shell game” and create common sense funding solutions that don’t weight down future generations with debt.  Small businesses are learning the shocking truth about the "margin tax" that was passed last year by the legislature under the guise of reforming the business tax.  How is this affecting your business?
