As the primary election date draws near I’ve had dozens of calls from my friends and supporters asking who they should vote for in the U.S. Senate race. I answer without reservation, David Dewhurst.

The race has clearly narrowed to David and one other principal opponent, Ted Cruz. I know and have worked with both Dewhurst and Cruz. As a firsthand witness, I know David Dewhurst is committed to the conservative values and hard work which has made our state great. Frankly, I am disappointed in Cruz distorting David’s record as Lt. Governor.

Lt Governor Dewhurst believes in and helped protect the “Texas Economic Miracle” (see Texas, the Economic Miracle at texansfortommy.com). Our state’s thriving economic environment didn’t just happen on its own; it required the leadership and hard work of David Dewhurst and all my Republican colleagues in the Texas Senate.

•  Fiscal Restraint - Texas IS proof that business thrives in the absence of an oppressive tax structure,
•  Fair Court System - Texas IS proof that tort reform means business can create and grow new opportunities,
•  Predictable Regulatory Environment - Texas IS proof that a sound regulatory system allowsbusinesses to prosper AND protects the environment in a cost effective manner.

Collectively, these fundamental policy goals have resulted in a political and economic environment conducive to INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY and business success.

TEXAS IS THE MODEL OF REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES - A MODEL OUR FDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD FOLLOW.

David Dewhurst is the ONLY candidate in the race for U.S. Senate who has ACTUALLY DONE what we as Republicans know MUST HAPPEN in Washington D. C. if our country is to prosper again.

I recommend David Dewhurst for U. S. Senate without reservation.

Here is what they had to say about Senator Williams:

Williams was instrumental in securing The Woodlands’ freedom from Houston, ensuring the master-planned community is able to create its own governmental path and continues to look out for the best interests of his constituents while passing important legislation on immigration and border security, voter ID, pro-life issues and government spending reform. He serves and leads key committees and will continue play an integral part of shaping our state government.

After the electoral success enjoyed by all Texas Republicans after last Tuesday's elections (2010), much has been said and written about the members of the Texas House of Representatives who are ready to champion conservative values and principles during the next legislative session. However, the Republican Party of Texas also wishes to extend special thanks and credit to three Republican members of the upper chamber in the State Senate who have stepped up to help the RPT in our efforts to strengthen our Republican majority in Texas.

Said RPT State Chairman Steve Munisteri, "Our sincere thanks goes out to State Senators Florence Shapiro and Joan Huffman for going above and beyond to bolster the RPT's work in this past election cycle. Senator Shapiro contributed $10,000 to supporting the RPT, and Senator Huffman raised $7000 for our state party's work. Their outstanding generosity is truly appreciated, and I am very honored that we have earned the support of these women - both, true Texas Republican leaders. On a related note, I'd also like to extend our congratulations to both Senators Shapiro and Huffman on their landslide victories on Tuesday night!"

"I would also like to thank State Senator Tommy Williams, who similarly demonstrated tremendous dedication to our State Party with his contribution of $10,000 in this last cycle. Although he was not on the ballot in Senate District 4 during this particular election, the Republican Party in that area continues to thrive under his leadership. We saw large victories and Republican pickups across all six counties in his district, and are very excited about the number of new elected officials from The Woodlands all the way to Orange. I am honored that the RPT enjoys Senator Williams' support and generosity."

The 2010 census was noteworthy in many respects, but one irrefutable fact stands above all the rest . . . people have been “voting with their feet”.

It’s no secret that Texas is a great and very special state, but our economic fortunes haven’t always been so exceptional. Texas has experienced population booms in the past, but something seems to be different this time. It’s such a time as this that we should examine why so many are moving to Texas. What makes our state so attractive to people from all over the country?
