SENIORS RIGHTS
I plan on improving programs for treatment
for Seniors like my grandmother Carmen
and helping them get treatment them with
quality medical care. Health care should be
made affordable and available.
EDUCATION IMPROVEMENT
My plans for running for State
Representative start at the foundation of who
I am, an educated man with a public high
school, an undergraduate and a graduate
doctorate degree. I believe education is
fundamental to our district in improving who
our citizens are. I would not be where I am
without teachers and believe that teachers
pay should have not been cut at the sake of
improving our budget, there are other areas
that could have been cut or the budget
should not have been cut at all. I believe in
fiscal responsibility but not when it destroys
us as a state or as a district. With that being
said I also believe that higher education
should be made more affordable not less
affordable and think that there should be an
effort to re-regulate tuition or freeze it
before it becomes way out of hand. Tuition
increases haves outpaced inflation, minimum
wage and the cost of living.
JOB CREATION AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
My degree in Economics qualifies me to
improve economic development in the area.
We are lucky that there are plentiful jobs
and that the unemployment rate is better
than many parts of the country. However,
the jobs that are here should be improved to
increase higher paying jobs not just
minimum wage jobs. That means helping
attract businesses and companies with
reasonable tax policies, tax incentives, and
other incentives to bring in business while
improving employment conditions. High
technology jobs need to be brought in the
areas that require employees with advanced
degrees.
PROPERTY TAX REFORMS
I would like to see better property tax relief
programs such as surplus revenue allocation,
adjusting tax appraisal to appraisal growth,
appraisal reform and revenue caps, market
value caps, etc. especially with regards to the
gulf coast properties. My tax rates on my
Calhoun property have gone up
astronomically over the past few years and
that’s only because it’s on the coast while my
property more inland in Victoria has not
increased as much yet there are more
improvements in Victoria than the coast.
Property should not be valued higher the
closer to the water it is, although beautiful it
is not oceanfront property in California and
should not be appraised like it.
FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS
Besides my push for improving education my
plans are to make sure that the government
does not interfere with our personal lives
and upholds fundamental constitutional
rights, including the right to privacy, the right
to worship as we see fit, the separation of
Church and State, due process, and rights of
life, liberty and property. My plans are to
help with common-sense reforms that give us
cleaner and safer air and water in our area
while improving jobs and business.
VETERANS RIGHTS
I believe plan to improve the honoring of
our veterans and treating them fairly on their
return, with quality medical care and other
veterans benefits.
