Texas Republican Assembly Board of Directors Endorses Ken Paxton for Texas Speaker of the House

Texas Republican Assembly Board of Directors Endorses Ken Paxton for Texas Speaker of the House

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Contact: Michael Gallops, mgallops@texasra.org

 

DALLAS – Today, the Texas Republican Assembly Board of Directors announced their endorsement of State Representative Ken Paxton (R-McKinney) for Speaker in the Texas House of Representatives.

 

The race for speaker in the Texas House is the first fight for conservative principles that lawmakers will face in January. In November, we saw an unprecedented mandate given to the Republican Party, and we believe that the interests of all Texans will be best served with a conservative leader in the House of Representatives. With that in mind, the TXRA Board of Directors opted to endorse in this race.

 

Representative Paxton is the very definition of a conservative Republican. He has ranked among the most consistent conservatives in the Texas House throughout his tenure as state representative, and our board of directors is confident in his ability to lead the Texas House beginning in January.

 

The Republican Assembly board is demanding that Republicans caucus and select the speaker without input from the Democrats. We are endorsing Ken Paxton and are recommending that legislators support and vote for him.

 

The board of directors chose to endorse in the speaker's race without the membership of the Republican Assembly due to the time constraints in this race.

 

The Texas Republican Assembly is comprised of chapters around the state of Texas. The organization regularly endorses in Republican primary contests, and this year endorsed conservatives such as incoming state representatives David Simpson, Erwin Cain, Charles Perry, and others.

 

The Texas Republican Assembly is a grassroots movement to take back the Republican Party for the vast and disenfranchised majority of its members: Reagan conservatives, who believe in small government, lower taxes, free market capitalism, a strong defense, the right to life, and a decent and moral America.

The White House has No Technical Skill

Amazingly the White House is lacking in the skill necessary to make sure it's own "Contact Us" page has an up to date certificate. When I go to http://www.whitehouse.gov and click on "Contact Us" I get this:

Sad isn't it?  Or maybe it's just me? Maybe they are tracking my IP address and know that I intend to tell the White House something they don't want to hear - the TRUTH!

On the other hand - it is true - everything about the current White House is untrusted...

Merry Christmas!

Fiscal Responsibility

Cross posted from my campaign website at http://www.michaelgallops.com

What does it mean to be fiscally responsible? It’s a simple question with a simple answer – it means using our money wisely. To be fiscally responsible municipal officials, we have to make sure that our tax dollars are spent the best way possible to avoid waste and to provide the best services. This involves looking at the budget from both sides – smart spending and smart cutting. We need to spend our tax dollars in a way that ensures we only have to pay for a project one time. If we make sure the project is done right the first time then we won’t be spending money on it again – money that could be used elsewhere. That’s what often happens when you try to go “on the cheap.”

On the flip side, however, we must make sure we aren’t over burdening the taxpayers. If there are fees and taxes that can be reduced, without reducing essential services, then we should take a close look at doing so. We benefit in the long run any time we can put money back in the pockets of the taxpayers – because the taxpayers then use that money to purchase goods. If we’ve encouraged the right businesses to come in, this in turn brings more revenue into the city coffers from sales taxes. Of course we have to find a way to encourage citizens to spend that extra money in Rowlett – and that is happening by partnering with the Rowlett Chamber of Commerce and local businesses to provide incentives to consumers who shop in Rowlett.

Finally, one of the best things we can do in Rowlett is to take a really hard look at finding a way to reduce our water rates.  If there us any way to do this we will find it.
