Leaders that are unafraid to take chances and try new ideas for the betterment of Texas. Honest compassion . Honest compassion is understanding the best way to help those in need is not necessarily to throw more money at the problem. Texans have always believed in helping those in need find new ways to help themselves. Honest compassion understands the difference between government trying to make life easier for those in need, or helping them to make their own lives better.
Education is the bedrock of freedom and the gateway to opportunity.
Education should have high standards and no excuses so that today's children are prepared for tomorrow's workplace. An educational system that emphases the basics. An educational system that teaches all students to read, write, and understand the English language so that all children, regardless of race, may have an equal opportunity to succeed in the United States. Quality education that does not discriminate because of race, wealth or geography. Education that will provide Texas children with the best schools in America.
