John "Roca" Shergold's Platform
Ethics
  • Accepting no contributions from special-interest groups such as insurance or electric lobbyists.
  • Refusing to sign legislative continuances for corporate special interest.
  • Pledging to never accept campaign contributions when there is no declared opponent.
Education
  • Elimination and dismantling of the failed TAKS-testing system.
  • Teachers should teach to students not to a test.
  • BETTER PAY AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS WITHOUT COMPROMISING BECAUSE OF POLITICS.
Legislative Voting
  • As your state representative, I will vote on all bills and not choose to be absent for political gain.
  • "If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen." ~President Harry S. Truman
Consumer Protection
  • I will vote to protect your rights not vote to remove them.
  • I will fight for you, the consumer, and place a seat at the table.
  • I will fight to lower your homeowners and car insurance rates by refusing to accept money from insurance companies as my opponent does.
