Lt Col Steven Fowler, Decorated Combat Veteran, Announces Republican Candidacy in TX-28

UNIVERSAL CITY, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- I am excited to announce my candidacy as a Republican in the 28th U.S. Congressional District of Texas. I'm running for Congress because I'm sick of illegal immigrants pouring into our country. I'm tired of the caravans swarming our border. I don't like illegal alien criminals putting my family or yours, at risk. President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the radical Democrats are doing nothing to stop it. In fact, they are encouraging it. If we don't stop the flow immediately, our country will never be the same. We cannot just sit back and let it happen. We must fight like hell to stop it.

For over 17 years, I have served this nation as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. I'm a small business owner, an Aggie, a Longhorn, and a third generation Texan. I'm a husband and Dad to three young daughters.

In the Air Force, I flew the most capable bomber aircraft in the world, the B-1B Lancer. I deployed twice to the Middle East where I flew 73 combat missions and 891 combat hours over Afghanistan. I fought like hell against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. The U.S. government entrusted me with a $283 million aircraft and authorized me to make life and death decisions against these terrorists.

I know how to fight, and I know how to lead. That is exactly what I'll do in this campaign and when I get to Congress. Jessica Cisneros, also known as the AOC of Texas, is running in the Democrat primary in TX-28. She lost the Democrat primary in 2020 by just a few percentage points and is back again in 2022 with more experience and a significant amount of money. She is very likely to win in the primary and get elected to Congress -- unless a Republican can beat her.

Ms. Cisneros is sponsored by the extreme left group, Justice Democrats. This is the same organization that sponsored AOC before her victory. Cisneros has been endorsed by AOC and wants to bring these same extreme left policies to Texas. Cisneros supports open borders and wants to take jobs away from the oil and gas industry, which provide high-paying jobs to families in TX-28 and are essential to the Texas economy. The last thing the United States or South Texas needs is AOC 2.0 in Congress. I'm not going to let it happen. I gave up my active-duty military retirement, with just over three years left, to wage this fight.

There are very few districts in Congress that are truly competitive. Out of 38 districts in Texas, only two are competitive. The 28th district is one of them. This seat is winnable for Republicans, and I intend to win it. Families in South Texas are sick of the Biden immigration policies that put extreme strain on their communities. They are ready to elect a Representative that stands for border security, fights for their jobs, their families, and their security. They are ready to get rid of weak career politicians. They don't want AOC 2.0 to represent them. They are ready to elect a fighter. Now is the time. We can't wait. If we don't act now, we risk losing our country as we know it, forever. Are you ready to fight like hell with me for President Trump's America First Agenda?

Sincerely,

Lt Col Steven Fowler

Candidate for Congress in TX-28

Mark Miller Announces Candidacy for Texas Railroad Commissioner

Texas Politics

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 2, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mark Miller announced today that he is seeking the Libertarian Party of Texas' nomination for Texas Railroad Commissioner in 2016.

Dr. Miller was the 2014 Libertarian nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner and is again running for office because he believes it is imperative for the Texas Railroad Commission to serve all Texans, not just the oil and gas industry.

"As Commissioner, I promise to transform the agency by bringing increased transparency and accountability, a culture of simplification and regular review, and a new focus on surface property rights," says Miller.

The only other announced candidate for the post is the incumbent Commission Chairman, Mr. David Porter. "During Commissioner Porter's tenure, the Railroad Commission was embroiled in many controversies surrounding oil and gas development in Texas," notes Miller. "Among them were appropriate regulations for wastewater wells that trigger earthquakes and eminent domain abuse by common carrier pipelines. Sadly, regulations promulgated by the Commission under Porter's watch turned out to be nothing more than window-dressing, resulting in additional bureaucratic busy-work, but with no substantive positive effects on protecting the Texas public. Even more sadly, this appears to be the usual state of affairs at the most important of state agencies."

There will be three public presentations of some of Dr. Miller's thoughts on the Railroad Commission in the Dallas/Fort Worth area September 2 - 8, 2015 (www.miller4tx.com/events).

"As I look at Commissioner Porter's issues for the 2016 campaign, where are the calls to increase transparency by changing the Commission's name and eliminating openly-admitted crony capitalism?" questions Miller. "Where are the calls for regulatory reform that are needed for a stodgy 100+ year-old agency? And, where are the calls to better protect personal liberties by putting surface property rights on a more equal footing with mineral rights?"

"I challenge all candidates for Texas Railroad Commissioner to engage in a series of serious and spirited public debates over important issues facing the Railroad Commission," says Miller.

Texas Railroad Commissioner is the only State executive position on the November 2016 ballot. "Texas voters should insist on open and robust public discussions befitting this immensely important position and befitting our great state," notes Miller.
