Issue Position: Set A Higher Ethical Standard

Issue Position

Set A Higher Ethical Standard. State government has a responsibility to be trustworthy and transparent to our citizens, and elected officials must be held to the highest ethical standard. As our state representative, Morgan will work to bring that higher ethical standard to state government by leading for ethics reform that puts our citizens first, like:

Requiring greater disclosure from elected officials, especially as it relates to votes they make regarding the industries they benefit from financially
Prohibiting lawmakers from serving as paid lobbyists immediately after stepping down from the Texas House
Prohibiting lawmakers from accepting contributions from groups that are seeking to win business from the State and hope to further their own special interests ahead of the interests of all Texans
Strip elected officials who are convicted of felonies from receiving pensions from the state
