Primary Colors – Part 3 – Plugging the Senate Leadership Gap

Issues: 

The March 4th primary is right around the corner and early voting starts Tuesday. This is the third in a series. (This first two are here and here). I cannot overstate the importance of your vote and the impact it has in the primary.

Lt. Governor

Conventional wisdom says there will be a runoff between Sen. Dan Patrick and sitting Lt. Governor Dewhurst. I strongly support Sen. Dan Patrick over Lt. Gov. Dewhurst. Frankly, Dan has proven he is a leader and David has proven he is not. Especially at this critical juncture, Texas and the Nation need visionary leaders standing strong for taxpayers

March 2014 Texas Primary: Why Local Elections Matter

What do you think of when you hear the term 'nanny state'? Are you like me and you automatically think of some portly, elderly British woman with knee highs and thick dark glasses looking down her nose while standing over a small child? Does that term conjure up images of a tight, restrictive control over ones subjects, just aching for them to make the tiniest mistake so their privileges, or what's left of them, can be snatched away in one fail swoop? Wikipedia defines Nanny state as a term of British origin (and primary use) that conveys a view that a government or its policies are overprotective or interfering unduly

Primary Colors – Part 2 – Continuing Strong Leadership in the Attorney General’s office to Represent Texas Against Washington, D.C.

The March 4 primary is right around the corner and early voting starts Tuesday. This is the second in a series. (The first is here.) I cannot overstate the importance of your vote and the impact it has in the primary.

Texas Attorney General

This race is perhaps as hotly contested if not more so than others I’ve written about, as there are two genuinely conservative candidates, Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman and Senator Ken Paxton. Both have committed supporters I know and respect who have been “in the trenches” in the culture wars for years and even decades.

Cornyn Statement on the Five-Year Anniversary of Obama’s Failed Stimulus

I issued the following statement to mark the five-year anniversary of the signing of President Obama’s stimulus plan.

When the stimulus was first announced, we were promised it would lead to ‘shovel-ready’ jobs and get our economy moving. Five years later, our economy is still sluggish, Americans are dropping out of the workforce by the thousands, and the President’s latest big government experiment, Obamacare, is now on track to slash 2 million more jobs from the workforce.

Primary Colors – Part 1 – “A Vote to Remember”

Issues: 

The March 4 primary is right around the corner and early voting starts Tuesday. First, understand that due to Gerrymandering, the VAST MAJORITY of elected officials win or lose their races in the primary. The November general election is mostly a rubber stamp of whatever candidate wins the primary for the dominant party in their district. I cannot overstate the importance of your vote and the impact it has in the primary.

Below are my researched endorsements for the upcoming primary. If a race is not listed, I have not yet made an endorsement in that race and may not. Many of you know that I am an engineer by training and profession, and like most engineers,

Restoring the Benefits Our Military Retirees Earned

This week, Congress acted to keep our promises to those who have served.

The House and Senate came together to pass legislation I strongly supported to eliminate the cuts to military retiree benefits. The next stop is the Presidents desk, where we can expect it to be signed into law any day now. Read more about Restoring the Benefits Our Military Retirees Earned

An Open Letter to Senator Ted Cruz

Dear Senator Cruz:

Thank you for your unwavering opposition to “out of control” budgets and Obamacare!

I have been a Pro-Life Republican since I was 18 years old. I support gun rights, tort reform, less government, and tax incentives to grow business. I have been blessed as an insurance agent for nearly 50 years. I deal with hundreds of employers who are hiring employees every day. My clients are hard working, honest Americans, and they do their best to follow the laws of our country. Read more about An Open Letter to Senator Ted Cruz

Congressman John Culberson: Why I Voted Against Raising The Debt Ceiling

As a fiscal conservative and member of the House Appropriations Committee, I have worked hard to eliminate wasteful and duplicative government programs. Last year alone, the House Appropriations Committee held more than 110 budget and oversight hearings to weed out waste and make careful line-by-line budget decisions. House conservatives have forced Washington to reduce total annual spending for two straight years—the first time since the Korean War—and we have rolled back our annual spending levels to 2006-2007 levels. But this annual spending is just a fraction of the federal budget: in fact, the annual budget is less than 33 percent of total federal spending. The real drivers of our debt
