Ballotpedia survey responses

Richard Windmann completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Windmann's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Child Safety and Protection - We need to totally eliminate the statute of limitations, both civil and criminal, for any sex crime that is perpetrated against a child. We need to strengthen sentences for these crimes and have tighter sentencing guidelines.
- Border Protection - Texas needs to employ any and all legal means at its disposal to protect our border with Mexico, in the absence, inability or unwillingness of the United States Federal and Mexican governments to do so.
- This is where the Texas State lottery money goes. Tell me what's wrong with this picture? The Lottery Commision is currently under review by the Sunset Advisory Commission. Veterans programs only get 0.3% of that huge pie. Shameful.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
