Rural Economy

The rural economy has suffered for decades. From the 1980s farm crisis to Reagan's offshoring of East Texas steel to NAFTA's destruction of rural jobs, rural Texans have long suffered under a stagnant economy. We need significant investments in rural infrastructure, healthcare, broadband connectivity, and other incentives to attract jobs back to rural Texas.

    I support you, you are tough enough to stand up to the others and bring Texas back to what represent. Strength, knowledge, traditions, listening, and doing what is right for the environment and animals, farmers, ranchers and Texans. Push through the lies and threats.

    BOTH parties messed up Texas, both need to fix it by working together. I am against every single thing Talarico stands for, but support everything you stand for. You have got to stop bashing republicans MAGAS LOVE and move more to the middle. We need you. This Republican supports YOU not your party. Don’t bash republicans and you will win. I hate some of the things republicans stand for, but they are the better party. You keep fighting and you will get even more crossovers. I can’t stand anything Gina says either, she is just like Talarico. Keep talking about saving ranching and farming and water, Every American is for that. Good luck, you have my vote.
