Thank You

Howdy y’all,

I would like to thank you for your friendship and your support.

This past year has been amazing. Together we accomplished something that many people didn’t think could be done. It is all thanks to you and all of our friends and family that we got to where we are today.

We achieved 47.3% of the vote. It was a long and hard-fought primary, and I am proud of all the work that we have done. Like all of you, I look forward to November when Texans and Americans everywhere will send a message to Washington that we need a new generation of leaders. Together we will get our country back on track.

Our work does not end tonight, and I encourage all of you to come together and elect the new leadership that will point our country in the right direction.

Repeal It

On March 29, 2010, I signed the Club for Growth's Repeal It Pledge.

I am against the recently passed health care "reform" legislation and I am committed to common sense solutions to fixing what ails our health care system, but stand against ineffectual, unconstitutional government intrusion into personal health care decisions.

Our health care system should be more transparent, increase competition between health care and insurance providers. The goal should be increased affordability and accessibility. All Americans should have a certain level of health insurance. However, we should be trying to achieve this reform by moving toward less government control and more individual empowerment. The aim of any reform should be to put the consumer, not the insurer or the government, at the center of the system.
