Candidate did not respond In federal matters, the most pressing issue is reining in massive corporate subsidies and federal spending that distorts markets and allow otherwise non-viable projects to move forward. What speci c policies or initiatives would you propose to address the challenges of urbanization and development?
State and local leaders know better than the Feds what’s best for them. We need more federalism, allowing each state to resolve their issues. Let California be California, let Texas be Texas ... What policy solutions are you exploring to deal with housing shortages in Texas? We need more housing, from apartments to homes. Texans pay some of the highest property insurance premiums in the US because lobbyists have more power than citizens. We must keep institutional buyers from out-competing rst-time buyers, and restore the ability of local communities to decide how and where growth occurs. In this legislative district there is an explosion of residential construction. If there is a shortage, it is because the builders simply cannot build faster. Basic economics says when demand is this high, the cost of lumber, concrete and everything else goes up, thus driving up the cost of the house. The better question is, what are we going to do about problems created by this growth, such as our highways, power grid and water supplies not being able to support all this growth.

What is the most important issue facing your constituents and how would you address it? Our schools are critical to our local economy. They create jobs, educate tomorrow’s workforce, and graduate engaged citizens. Vouchers will devastate public schools and balloon state spending. Jobs will be lost. Programs like athletics, technical education and ne arts will su er. I’d defend public education and vote against taxpayer-funded vouchers. The most important issue facing Texas is the mass invasion of foreign nationals across our southern border. Texas is currently spending several billion dollars each year providing education, health and other services to them. The most e ective way to address this is to require every employer to use the Federal eVerify system to verify their employees are legally in this state. If this requirement had sti penalties against the employers who employ illegals, it would immediately close the job market ...
