Campaign themes

- Border Control
- Excerpt: "In the 82nd Texas Legislative session, I was frustrated with the lack of progress, most notably the oversights involved with addressing the problems of illegal immigration in a forthright and determined manner. "
- Voter ID
- Excerpt: "Did you know that the Voter ID Bill that was passed in the 82nd Texas Legislature has one alarming exception? If you wish to declare that your “religious beliefs” do not allow you to create or carry photo identification, then all you have to do is sign a disclaimer stating such, and you can vote WITHOUT photo id even though the rest of legal voters still have to provide their photo ID."
- Gaming in Texas
- Excerpt: "Buried at the bottom of today’s sports page is another story indicating the state and local taxpayer-subsidized F1 race in Austin is getting further off track. Comptroller Susan Combs should take the opportunity to untangle taxpayers from this lemon of a deal."
- The 82nd Texas Legislative Session
- Excerpt: "Most of the Republican legislators who ran in the last election on Nov. 2, 2010, campaigned as “conservatives.” However, how many of them voted as conservatives during the 82nd Legislative Session?"
