Campaign themes
2016
Davis' campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Border Security: A country without a secure border is not a country. We must ensure that the federal and state governments do everything possible to secure and defend our borders. 2nd Amendment Rights: As a member of the NRA, concealed weapons permit holder and veteran, I know that under the Second Amendment, we as citizens have the right to bear arms. As your State Representative, I will fight to protect these rights. Economic Growth: Taxes and loss of jobs overseas are destroying this country. The tax system must be reformed and an environment created for businesses to relocate to the United States of America and Texas. Protecting Life: All lives matter! The horrible murders of unborn children is terrible in itself but the sale of baby body parts for profit must be stopped now by defunding Planned Parenthood and not spending any more tax dollars on this atrocity.[1] |
