Candidate Connection

David Lowe completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Lowe's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

Expand all | Collapse all

David grew up in the DFW area and after high school, he enlisted in the United Army. During his 12-year military career, he served in various leadership positions and multiple combat tours. After leaving the military, he immediately became involved in Republican Party politics and policy while earning a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and volunteered on many conservative campaigns. David went on to graduate from the Texas Peace Officers Academy, leading to work in both adult and juvenile facilities. In 2020, David was the North Regional Director for the Republican Party of Texas.

David Lowe is running for State Representative because he understands what is at stake. The donor class is ruining Texas and sending the needs of ordinary citizens to the end of the line. David has a history of selfless service and recognizes a tough fight. He will work tirelessly to help pass conservative priorities that will benefit all citizens.

David Lowe's priorities include:

Stopping the invasion Restoring election integrity Property tax overhaul Term limits Equal protection for the unborn

Criminalize the grooming of children
  • We must stop the invasion at our southern border. Record levels of illegal crossings, sex trafficking and human trafficking have rocked Texas and the United States. The Texas legislature can say they have prioritized border security but clearly not. In 2023, Texas had a $33 billion dollar surplus and only devoted $3 billion in border security, and at the same time the legislature spent 6 times that amount in corporate welfare ($18 billion). Plus, President Trump started building the wall in 2017 and now it's 2024. Less talk, more action.
  • David Lowe knocks a lot of doors and the second most concerning priority for most voters in property taxes. Sure, there was some property tax relief but relief is temporary. The appraisal system is unfair and if you want to contest your appraisal, you're forced to go to the government to please your case. That's tyranny. The Texas legislature needs to replace the appraisal system. Not to mention that the 38%+ of Texans who rent don't receive any property tax relief. Ever. The Texas legislature has never event attempted to explore alternatives to property tax or reform the broken system. Texans are being priced out of their homes and they're begging for change.
  • Without free and fair elections, we don't have a representative form of government. It's time to reform our election laws and procedures. Also, the voter rolls are completely outdated. David supports expiring voter registrations. Only living Texans should be voting in Texas. David also supports new and transparent software for all voting machines in Texas. It's time to release the code so that everyone may see exactly how the software works and what its limitations are.
Unfortunately in patient mental health facilities have become revolving doors to big pharma to profit from. It's time to reform how Texas approaches mental health, especially for those without quality insurance.

David Lowe witnessed a broken system while working with juvenile offenders, especially their lack of access to quality mental healthcare. Again, profits have been prioritized of patient care.

David has committed to passing a bill that would lock away child molesters for the rest of their lives. There are so many registered child sex offenders in NRH, RH, Watauga, Haltom City and Fort Worth that he couldn't fit all of their pictures on a single web graphic. As a parent, this bothers him and many other parents too.
Ronald Regan. He was a selfless servant, "There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit."
Please watch this mini documentary which features David Lowe's opponent. It shows how Texas is run by Democrats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhvxRnYOg5Q
Integrity, transparency, courage
David Lowe has had a history of courage and standing up for people who don't have a voice.
Public servant > self servant, vote their conscience, inform the public
David Lowe's legacy isn't important. It's what he can do now to improve the lives for Texans tomorrow that is important to him.
Gulf War. 8 years old.
United States Army from 2003 to 2015
The Bible. Because it's the greatest history book, the greatest everything book.
Maverick
Tom Petty's Free Fallin
David Lowe wants to help everyone with everything and that's just not possible, but he's giving it his best shot.
I believe they should be at arms length. Close enough that they can work together but far enough that the Texas legislature can work without too much influence.
Property taxes and the economy, corporate influence in politicians, government overreach (remember, Covid-19 was one of the most unconstitutional times in our state's history.)
No. It takes all different types of people from all walks of life to make any organization successful, to include those that have zero government or political experience.
Yes, it's important to have professional working relationships with other elected officials because it takes a majority to get anything passed. BUT they're not your friends. You need to withstand the peer pressure.
Rep. Tony Tinderholt of Arlington, Former State Rep. Jeff Cason of Bedford. (You can hear him speaking at David Lowe's event here: https://fb.watch/pTyo4GvLTn/)
No. David Lowe wants to be elected to State Representative and put Texans first. We can't fix the D.C. Swamp if we don't fix the Austin Swamp first.
David Lowe talked to a resident two days ago while door knocking about their son who is in jail. The son has some sort of behavioral issue and the mental health facilities release him after 72 hours because of a lack of insurance. Then the son ends of getting in trouble again and goes to jail where he's taken advantage of. It's an endless cycle. David promised that after he wins his election, they're going to meet again and see how they can protect his son and improve mental health care across the state.
David Lowe's son's first joke ever told, "Dad, how do trains eat? They Choo-Choo."
When the Governor declares an emergency (like during Covid-19) the Texas legislature should immediately be recalled into a Special Session and the Governor should not be allowed to continually extend the emergency declaration without the Texas legislature's approval.
Raise the minimum sentence for unwanted sexual contact with a minor to life in prison.

I was born, adopted, and raised in Texas. After high school graduation, I enlisted in the United States Army and spent the majority of my time living overseas with several combat tours. After 12 years enlisted, I was medically retired. I graduated college with a degree in Criminal Justice. I also graduated from the police academy and worked in both adult and juvenile corrections. I am a father, husband, and follower of Christ.
  • I support always support every Republican Party of Texas legislative priority.
  • We must freeze the annual property tax appraisal system and provide immediate relief from a completely broken and unfair system of taxation.
  • Child gender modification is child abuse.
I am currently pursuing a master's in public policy because I love to research and find solutions. Some of the areas of public policy I am most passionate about include juvenile justice, juvenile mental health care, and parental rights.
I look up to President Donald Trump because, despite his indiscretions and character flaws, he always stood by his word for the American people. He defied the odds, he didn't cower when the pressure was on and he changed the trajectory of our great nation.
The 5 Star Plan by Robert West.
Some characteristics that every elected official should have are a sense of purpose, being a good problem solver, selflessness, and demonstrating leadership within the community in which they serve. When I was in Afghanistan, our goal as a unit was to "work ourselves out of a job." That means accomplishing the mission so there is no reason to stay. I wish legislators would adopt that same philosophy.
Throughout my life, I have had a variety of experiences that have helped me craft my own style of leadership. Those leadership skills have made me a better father, husband, and member of my community. I am also a very resilient person. I know what being knocked down feels like. When you're down, it's so easy to give up. I don't give up. I just try harder and that's the same mentality I will take to Austin. My community deserves a leader, not a follower.
The core responsibility for someone elected to this office is to represent the community in which they serve. Elected officials are supposed to serve constituents, not corporations.
I don't care about my legacy. All I care about is raising my son to be a good man and follower of Christ.
I was 7 years old during Desert Storm.
My first job was enlisting in the United States Army. I was employed by the Army for 12 years.
Brown Bear Brown Bear. When my son wakes up in the morning, the first thing he wants to do before even his diaper change has me read Brown Bear. I have read it so many times that I just recite it with my eyes closed while I turn the pages. I love this book because as of right now, it's my son's favorite book.
Winnie The Pooh because I love honey too
Baby Shark. Yep, Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Baby shark!
One thing I have struggled with in life is not letting things go. When something doesn't turn out the way I believe it should have, I often work relentlessly until I get it as close to perfect as possible.
I believe that the governor should be a leader, not a follower. With that being said, the governor also needs to respect the fact that the executive branch is only one of the three branches of the state government. There needs to be an open line of communication between the two branches but the legislative branch must hold the governor accountable for overreach. The Texas constitution literally has provisions to aid the legislature to prevent things such as illegal shut down orders. I guess the state legislature forgot that in 2020.
The greatest challenge for the state over the next decade will be taxation and demands placed on the government to provide. Texas is spending more than ever, the people are demanding more than ever from their state and nobody wants to pay for it. It's time to get back to the basics before it's too late.
I believe the benefit of the unicameral system of government allows laws to be passed more efficiently. I believe one of the drawbacks of the unicameral system is the political division, even among members of the same party.
No. Government is one of the least organized, least well-executed entities ever created. The last thing you want to do is fill the government legislature with people with experience in government.
Yes. Let's be honest, you need more than one vote to pass a bill, and that takes relationships with others to earn those votes. All legislators have unique backgrounds, experiences, and opinions and when properly applied, Texas gets a great bill passed.
It's unfair, broken, and has become a political chess match. To make it worse, the courts often end up drawing the lines. I have a few ideas of how to fix redistricting once and for all.
I will not be listing those here because the Austin swamp has access to Ballotpedia.
My current state representative should be responding with this question with "because I like the power to kill my own party's bills." In 2019, Stephanie Klick was chair of the Elections Committee and killed the Republican Party of Texas legislative priority SB9. In 2021, she was the chair of the Public Health Committee and killed 2 legislative priorities. The first priority was Banning Child Gender Modification SB1646 HB68 and HB1399. The second legislative priority she killed was the Equal Protection for Unborn HB3326.
Rep. Bryan Slator of the 87th Legislative Session. He and one other legislator stood up against the entire establishment and refused to vote for a liberal Republican to be Speaker of the House.
So far this year, I have knocked well over 5,000 doors. There is absolutely no way I want to do this for a living. I want to simply pass some of my priorities, improve my community and help a few people along the way. There is zero chance of me ever wanting to go work in Washington D.C.
Yes. In fact, while door-knocking the other day I spoke with a man whose child is in prison for an aggravated assault charge. We spoke about the inability to see his child during the unconstitutional Covid-19 lockdowns. I won't go into detail because it's very personal but prisoners are human beings and even though they made bad decisions, they deserve respect just like everyone else. I will be following up with this father again after I win my election so that he can help me draft a piece of legislation. I really enjoy hearing from voters and understanding their concerns. They deserve a legislator that'll listen.
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
100% yes. In Texas, after the first 30-day emergency powers act had passed in 2020, the Texas legislature should have been called into Special Session before another 30-day authorization could take place. We have a governor, not a king.
I believe compromise is necessary for good governance BUT both sides need to be reasonable in their requests. I also believe there are certain issues that deserve no compromise, such as abortion. Unless the life of the mother is at risk, there is never a reason to murder an unborn child.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
