Campaign themes
2016
Wheeler's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
The deck is stacked against Texas working families. In the Texas Legislature politicians are more concerned with pleasing corporations and big money donors than they are with helping middle class people. If elected I won't back down from Tea Party Republicans or lobbyists. I won't stop fighting until we have funded public education, and provided affordable insurance for all Texans. I won't stop until every family has a chance at the American Dream. [1] |
