Election Recap

Here are two articles that recap the election. Ron Trowbridge and myself unseated the incumbents we were running against. The bond failed–thankfully–and now it’s time to get to work improving LSCS.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement.

Houston Chronicle Bond Article

Alright, this is the last article on the bond that will appear in print before the election. The Houston Chronicle ran my oped today in addition to one written by the three incumbents.

Remember, if you have not voted May 11th from 7-7 is your chance. If you are registered to vote all you need is your driver’s license. You do not need a voter registration card to vote.

Free Market over Government Intervention

The Market Fairness Act is just one more example of the government messing up a good thing. If the government wants to get the economy moving in the right direction they will lower barriers for businesses and consumers looking to enter the market. Adding a tax only increases the barriers.

More Bond Opposition

Last night the Harris County Republican Party Executive Committee voted to oppose the bond. This means every conservative group in the area has opposed the bond. The only groups that support the bond are those that have a financial stake in seeing the bond pass. That alone should tell you all you need to know.

Today is the last day for early voting. Polls are open from 7-7. Saturday May 11th is election day. So if your Saturday is packed with swim meets, soccer games, and visiting mom ahead of her special day today would be a great day to vote.
