Issue Position

Our oil and gas business and the Texas economy are in danger of regressing as our highway infrastructure continues to deteriorate. Texas highways were once the envy of the nation, and we have the resources to rise to the top again. I support cutting wasteful spending in state government and reinvest it in a leaner, smarter and more equitable TxDOT. Importantly, I will fight to ensure that West Texas receives a fair return on its investment in the state highway system. Our roads have become too dilapidated and dangerous to not continue our fight for better highways. I don't want to have to lose even more lives on West Texas roads before bureaucrats in Austin understand the serious deadly nature of our highway problem.
