2014

Murphy's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Expanding Our Economy

• Excerpt: "My 25 years in economic development have taught me that common sense government policies -- a fair and predictable regulatory environment and tax structure -- can attract new investment and jobs to our state. I will build upon my success in this field so all Texans can enjoy a future of unlimited economic opportunities."

Controlling Government Spending

• Excerpt: "Government is not the answer to our problems. Washington-style spending in Texas will lead to higher taxes and reduced economic growth. Where practical we must cut, cap, and eliminate programs that are wasting taxpayer money."

Supporting Quality Public Education

• Excerpt: "Today's students are tomorrow's workforce, taxpayers, and leaders. It is our responsibility to ensure schools are adequately funded, held accountable, and our tax dollars are used to provide students the quality education they deserve."

Planning for the Future

• Excerpt: "Our infrastructure needs are tremendous -- and growing. Highways and major water supply projects are just two areas in which significant investment is needed to preserve our quality of life and robust economy. I will work with my colleagues and local governments to develop and implement long term projects addressing our state's critical infrastructure needs."

Controlling Our Border

• Excerpt: "Our current State budgetprovides over $200 million for increased Border Security, but that is not enough. We must encourage the Federal government to fulfill its role in the enforcement of immigration laws. I will work to promote greater use of new technology and development of multi-agency coordination to help stretch our limited funds and increase our effectiveness."

2012

Murphy's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Brecheen on state priorities

Economy and Job Creation

Excerpt:"I will put my 25 years of success in economic development to work to ensure the greatest possible opportunities for Texas workers, companies, and their customers. Texas continues to reap the rewards of our relatively low taxes, sensible regulation, and an environment that rewards innovation and hard work. Competition will be an important factor as we face these tough economic times."

Limited Government and Spending

Excerpt:"Our government has a propensity for growth regardless of the party in power. That is why I strongly support spending caps, appraisal caps, and revenue limits to ensure taxpayers have a voice in the process - and tax increases are the very last resort."

Better schools

Excerpt:"To compete and win in our global economy, Texas needs a growing and better educated work force. Yet we have too many dropouts and students who graduate from high school unable to perform college-level work. As a result, they have limited opportunities in today's high tech work force. As a board member at the Houston Community College, and as a teacher, I've seen firsthand what works - and what doesn't - in our classrooms. We need to focus on performance, not paperwork, to achieve the success we all want."

Fighting Crime

Excerpt:"Public safety is government's first responsibility. If we are not safe in our homes, little else matters. I worked in Austin to create tough new laws to combat our growing crime problem. I was a co author of HB 1887 that increased the criminal penalty for repeat offenders for motor vehicle burglary. I also authored and passed HB 3225 to reduce auto theft in Texas. I have continued to work with Operation Westside success and the West Houston Security Coalition to ensure I am ready to represent our needs in Austin.

Immigration

Brecheen on state priorities

Excerpt:"Border protection may be a federal obligation, but border enforcement can be addressed at the state level. While I served you in Austin, we provided $100 million in new funds for stronger border security. I will continue fighting this battle for our state until we have results we want as Texans."

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.
