Friends, Thank you for your support and endorsement of my campaign. I am honored to have the support of TexBlog PAC and its members. The blog community in Texas has done an amazing job over the last several years of galvanizing netroots support for causes we believe in and bringing in so many new people to the political process. This is a critical election year for Texas. The future of our state will be shaped by the people we elect to the Legislature this November, and the stakes could not be higher. We can continue the failed policies of the last several years – policies supported by my opponent, Rep. Bill Zedler – or we can chart a new course for Texas. I am running for the State House because I think we need more partnership and less partisanship in Austin. That means putting the interests of Texas families ahead of the special interests. We need to give our hard-working public school teachers pay raises, which Rep. Zedler has opposed. We need to stand up to people like James Leininger and say “no” to his radical private school voucher plan, a plan my opponent supports. It’s time we fully restore the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for working Texas families, because it was wrong when Rep. Zedler and others voted to kick 230,000 kids off of health care five years ago. It’s time we do something about our sky-high utility rates and homeowners insurance in Texas. And we need to get serious about protecting our natural resources – especially our air and water quality – in the Lone Star State. If we elect the same partisan leaders to office, we’ll just get more of the same results. I think Texas deserves better than that, and that is why I am running. By working together, I know we can make a real difference for Texas families. Thank you again for your support – it means a lot to me! Best regards, Chris Turner
Candidate for State Representative, HD 96
