Campaign themes
2016
Fisher's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Secure the Border: Scott knows firsthand how illegal immigration adds to our crime rate and how it drives up taxes and the cost of healthcare. Scott is a strong believer in securing our border, putting an end to sanctuary cities and fighting radical terrorism. Scott’s strong stance on fighting crime has earned him the endorsement of the Tarrant County Law Enforcement Association, Fort Worth Police Officer’s Association and Arlington Police Officer’s Association. Strengthening our Economy: Local and statewide leaders trust Scott to cut government waste, lower our taxes, decrease government regulations that hurt businesses, and push for conservative policies that bring more jobs to our community. Governor Perry knew he would get conservative results when he asked Scott Fisher to oversee difficult times in the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. Scott Fisher helped implement a 40% cut to protect taxpayers and make the agency more effective. 100% Pro-Life: Scott Fisher’s unwavering commitment to defending the life of the unborn has earned him the endorsement of not one but two Texas pro-life groups, Texas Alliance for Life PAC and Texans for Life – Life PAC. Because of Scott Fisher’s diligent leadership, John Peter Smith Hospital has remained the ONLY public hospital in Texas that refuses to perform taxpayer funded abortions. In his free time, Scott volunteers and serves on the Board of the Mid-Cities Pregnancy Center where over the past 30 years 26,000+ babies have been saved from abortion. Traditional Family Values: Scott has been married to his high school sweetheart for over 36 years. And supported by his conservative principles and Christian beliefs, believes that there is only one true definition of marriage and that it is between one man and one woman. As your next State Representative, Scott will work to make sure the definition of traditional marriage is protected. Support our Schools: As our conservative State Representative, Scott will fight to increase local control of schools, direct resources into the classroom and cut the number of required STAAR tests so teachers can focus on teaching to the student, not the test. Scott will make sure Texas schools have the resources needed to guarantee the highest quality education to all children.[1] |
