Jeff Whitfield grew up in the Mid-Cities and is a graduate of Birdville schools. He went on to the United States Air Force Academy, served as an Air Force officer, and left military service as a Captain. Following work in politics and conflict resolution as a Fulbright Scholar and World Peace Fellow in England, Jeff attended the University of Texas Law School. During law school he was Legislative Aide to Texas State Senator John Whitmire and went on to serve as Clerk to the Prosecutor at the Yugoslavian War Crimes Tribunal in the Netherlands. Jeff later served as a judicial clerk to Judge Rhesa Hawkins Barksdale on the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Today, he is an attorney and community servant in North Texas.
  • We're Texans. We're in this Together.
  • What makes us rich is our love of family, our faith, and our belief in the opportunities afforded to us as Americans and Texans.
  • Education coupled with hard work is the path to opportunity.
The fact that Texas has the largest uninsured population in the country is not just morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible. Access to health care is a basic human right and a matter of human dignity. Each person, regardless of their wealth or privilege, should have access to quality care when they're sick. One of the most responsible things we can do for our state and the health of her citizens is to accept the billions of dollars (of our own money, which we paid in taxes) from the federal government to expand health coverage. It's common sense, and simple decency.

The importance of education is enshrined in the Texas Constitution-it's fundamental to who we are as Texans and it's key to transforming communities. We must ensure the funding exists (not just now, but years from now) to pay our teachers and school staff for the critical work they do. Let's strive to put Texas at the top of any ranking of school systems in the country. The health of our economy and democracy depend on it.

What's good for Texas is good for the economy. By investing in our people and their ability to generate opportunity, we'll make this a stronger state with a stronger economy. Investments in education, creativity, transportation, and infrastructure will pay dividends by helping us grow our economy, manage the growing pains, and improve quality of life for us and generations to come.
