An Introduction

Though the person I want to introduce you to is not in my district, he is a great man running for an office in your district and wanting to represent you at our State capitol. Matt Krause is running against Charlie Geren for the District 99 Texas House of Representatives. I encourage you to look at Charlie's voting record. You will see that he is rated a low 59% conservative for his performance in the last session and an even lower 55% over his career in the congress. Charlie has voted for restricting and criminalizing free speech, he has voted for taking power away from elected officials and letting bureaucrats play political games with our children's education. H has voted against letting parents decide how and where is best for their children to learn, against 'choose life' license plates that would have funded programs to counsel pregnant women on options other than abortion.

Matt Krause believes Texas government should be smaller, more efficient, and operate like a business. Matt will bring common-sense, responsible conservatism to Austin. As Matt will tell you, he is a Christian, Husband, Father, Conservative, and a Republican. And in that order. Matt will not sacrifice principle for politics, and he values results over rhetoric. In his work as a constitutional attorney, Matt defends the core principles that Texas was built upon—the sanctity of human life, the traditional family, and religious liberties.

If I still lived in Fort Worth, I would be voting for Matt Krause. I believe he will do a great job in Austin representing the people of his district. I believe he knows the constitution and will work to preserve it.

The Republican primary is March 2nd. We all have less than 6 weeks to get educated on who we will give our vote on March 2nd. Please spend some time getting to know your candidates and most assuredly get out on March 2nd and let your voice be heard.

fyi: the last day to register to vote for this election is February 1st. So please make sure you are properly registered (if you have moved, please make sure you are registered in your correct county.)
