Campaign website
Shelby's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Strengthening Our Rural Healthcare System Doc Shelby is uniquely positioned to represent the Texas 3rd US Congressional District in the United States of America’s House of Representatives. Democrat candidate Doc Shelby has the compassion and communicative skills so necessary in discerning differing views and interests, and molding them into sound solutions that result in win-win situations. This is especially so when it comes to resolving the ongoing healthcare impasse that is detrimental to rural America. Enhancing Our Economic Security America, and the world at large, are posed to undergo significant transformations in the next decade. Doc Shelby is determined to ensure that the 700,000 Texans in his district play a role and have a voice in shaping a prosperous future. As a congressman, Doc Shelby will not do the bidding of greedy internationalists but will fight to ensure that global trade includes transparency and fairness, while ensuring American values do not overlook the weakest in our society. Sensible Immigration Solutions Nearly every rural region of the nation faces challenges slightly different from larger urban cities and counties that are anchored by sprawling suburban populations. While today’s rural regions are not exactly the isolated enclaves of yesteryear, we remain postscript beneficiaries of urban cultural centers, global technological developments, and civil infrastructure. Sensible immigration solutions must be multi-dimensional in approach and beneficial to rural America.[2] |
