- Restore Common Sense and Local Control
“Let’s fix what’s broken by trusting Texans—not Austin politics.”
Turner will push for practical reforms like rebuilding rural infrastructure with the Texas National Guard, giving communities a say in energy solutions, streamlining school systems, and cutting red tape—because Texans know what’s best for Texas. - Put Texas Families First, Not Billionaires “It’s time we invest in working folks—not the wealthy few.” Turner’s plan focuses on lowering everyday costs for families—like daycare, health insurance, and home ownership—while protecting rural schools, hospitals, and farms from being hollowed out by corporate greed or government neglect.
- Take Care of Those Who Serve “If you teach our kids, protect our streets, grow our food, or wore the uniform—Texas should have your back.” Andrew Turner believes in honoring hard work and sacrifice with affordable healthcare, property tax relief, and real retirement security for teachers, first responders, veterans, and workers who keep Texas running.

We minimize bureaucratic creep by investing in technology that streamlines communication between communities, buying healthcare insurance for state employees and natural disaster equipment at the state level, to alleviate the cost at local level.
