Jose Aliseda for State Representative

A LETTER FROM JOSE
These are serious times. Our country and our state are facing record unemployment, a runaway federal government, and we are expected to have billions of dollars in projected budget shortfalls right here at home.

I know we can do better. Serious times require conservative, common sense solutions.

I promise you that as your state representative, I will do my best to find those solutions-- to spur economic development, create jobs, protect private property rights and increase border security.

Because of the nationwide recession, Texas will be facing a multi-billion dollar budget shortfall when the State Legislature meets next year. Liberals aggravate those problems by spending more and raising taxes. When I served as the Bee County Judge, I solved those problems by cutting the budget and holding the line on spending. Texas taxpayers and their families have to tighten their belts to make ends meet, and we should expect no less from our legislators in Austin.

As an attorney, businessman and rancher, I know the importance of small business and agriculture to our state’s economy. I will work hard to cut red-tape and stop government regulation from strangling our small business owners. And I will fight any efforts to allow a state income tax or to tax small businesses by increasing the margins tax.

When I graduated from the University of Texas Law School, I proudly served my country as a United States Naval officer, I have served my county as its County Attorney and County Judge, and my state as a Parole Board Member. I understand public service and I am asking the citizens of Atascosa, Karnes, McMullen, Live Oak, Bee, Goliad and Jim Wells counties to give me the opportunity to serve them as their state representative.

Jose Aliseda
