FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Texas Realtors Announce Candidate FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jaime Lee Texas Association of REALTORS® 512.370.2152 [email protected] Texas Realtors announce candidate support for contested 2018 primary races AUSTIN – January 17, 2018 – Today, TREPAC, the political arm of the Texas Association of Realtors, announced the slate of candidates receiving its support in the contested March primary elections. In making the announcement, TREPAC Chairman David Alan Cox commended all the candidates for their commitment to protecting private-property rights. “Texas Realtors support these candidates in their contested primaries because they are dedicated to protecting the rights of Texas property owners across the state,” Cox said. “Many discussions in the 2019 legislative session will be centered on issues that directly affect Texas homeowners, including property tax reform, public school finance, and infrastructure solutions,” said Cox. “We believe these are the leaders who will best serve Texas.” Texas Realtors advocate for homeowners and private-property rights by supporting efforts to enhance the lives of Texas property owners, such as support for property tax reform in 2017 and prohibiting sales taxes on real estate in 2015, passing consumer protections against unscrupulous property-tax lenders in 2013, and eliminating most private transfer fees on real estate transactions in 2011.

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.

  • Texas-Restaurants-Letter
    July 16, 2020 Governor Greg Abbott Office of the Governor P.O. Box 12428 Austin, Texas 78711-2428 Dear Governor Abbott, Like many Texans, you and your office have been forced to make difficult decisions in an attempt to keep people safe during this uncertain time. We know you also care deeply about the Texas economy, including the livelihood of thousands of Texans who make their living in the restaurant industry. The restaurant industry directly and indirectly employs more than three million people, including farms, manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers. Additionally, the industry is a major tax contributor and community partner to towns and cities across Texas. As Governor of Texas, we ask you to help this critical industry by amending or clarifying the definition of a restaurant in Executive Order No. GA-28. Currently, restaurants are defined as businesses “that have less than 51 percent of their gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages.” All other businesses with a TABC permit are treated like a bar and required to close for onsite service. This has created significant confusion in the industry because many restaurants cross the 51% threshold simply because they sell affordably-priced food and higher-priced wine, beer, or cocktails. The Texas Restaurant Association estimates this confusion has closed over 1,500 restaurants and put 35,000 employees out of work, making them once again reliant on unemployment benefits to help make ends meet. To save our state’s resources and get Texans back to work, we ask you to clarify that any business with a license or permit from TABC is still a restaurant if it meets the following criteria and abides by the Minimum Standard Health Protocols for Restaurants: 1.

  • JARED PATTERSON Total Pro-Life Score
    JARED PATTERSON Total Pro-Life TEXAS HOUSE DISTRICT 106 Score: (R-FRISCO) Anti-Life Voted Pro-Life Voted Anti-Life 100% Pro-Life Key: EA = Excused Absence; UA = Unexcused Absence; PNV = Present, Not Voting; and Chair = Presiding at the Chair during the vote The Regular Session of the 86th Legislature was abysmal for the Pro-Life cause. Although Texas Right to Life, grassroots leaders, and voters prioritized only four Pro-Life bills, just one bill (Senate Bill 22, which should have been significantly strengthened) passed and was signed into law. Speaker of the House Dennis Bonnen, who announced his retirement under a cloud of corruption, and his leadership team actively thwarted Pro-Life issues from reaching the House floor for debate and passage—a shocking show of political malfeasance in light of the Pro-Life record achieved by Bonnen and the majority of House Republicans prior to 2019. Two priority Pro-Life bills passed the State Senate and then died in the committee process in the State House. Because of Speaker Bonnen's blatant betrayal of the Pro-Life movement, the only way to confirm whether individual representatives supported these is to score co-authorship of these two Pro-Life bills: HB 2434, companion of SB 1033, and HB 3158, companion of SB 2089. House members were repeatedly urged by constituents and by Texas Right to Life to co-author these bills and thereby signal their support. Consequently, members who failed to co-author these bills received a six-point penalty on their final score for each Pro-Life priority bill they failed to co-author.
