Texas political culture is characterized by economic liberalism-faith in the free market, and high economic disparity between the rich and the poor. Government taxation is discouraged by the people. They also tend to demand fewer services from the government in return. According to Blakeslee, Texas has been characterized by limited environmental regulation, high population growth, and immigration over the years (1-2). The massive growth of railroads, advanced irrigation systems, and barbed wire in land ownership has made the state very prosperous. The income tax increase is political suicide in Texas and is avoided by all politicians. Complexity and diversity in culture combined with religious diversity and regional differences ensure that voting patterns in Texas are unique and will not change soon (Blakeslee, 1).
Agriculture And Livestock Committees:
The committee has jurisdiction over agricultural activities such as horticultural production, farm husbandry, and livestock industry. The purpose of this committee involves the determination of crop production laws and incentives that can help production increase and boost profitability (Blakeslee 2). Livestock production, especially breeding, is important for farmers, especially in line with the advancement of veterinary activities. The planting of trees and regulation of harvesting are under the direction of this committee, as well as the passing of forest conservation and utilization laws. Its jurisdiction includes lumbering and maintenance of forests to avoid deforestation, as well as maintaining the forest cover in the county. Lumber businesses should be protected from excessive taxes, and the federal government should not interfere with the operation of forest management in Texas.
Citizens should be allowed to access county funds for business enterprises, and access to health and education in the rural areas in the rural area should be funded by other remains rather than continued taxes on other businesses and the county government. It is the role of the committee to provide direction on agricultural policies, especially in encouraging the use of better technologies to turn farming into a business (Samuels, 1). Fire protection by maintaining firefighting in the forests and the Texas wild environment and the Texas apiary inspection compact will facilitate the production of honey and related products for the purpose of exporting the product outside the United States. It has oversight over the food and fibers research council regulated to facilitate advancement in this area food production, Texas veterinary, Texas wildlife services should be regulated using appropriate laws and also ensure they get necessary funding that will be used to improve the livestock production.
With a background in agribusiness management and having worked in the federal government in the finance docket am well placed to advise the committee bin the aspect of agribusiness financing and also in the regulation of agricultural activities from my experience in the agriculture sector as an n agribusiness consultant.
Business And Industry Committee:
Have jurisdiction on matters concerning industry and manufacturing to monitor and recommend improvements in the manufacturing of automobiles, Ensure industrial safety and regulations of industrial conditions by monitoring activities, and pass relevant laws in making the industrial workplace safer for both the employees and the community (Grissom,2). Helps in resolving conflicts between workers and employees through collective bargaining, wage determination, and hours through appropriate legislation to ensure employees are paid a fair wage and are not exploited.
Empowered trade unions by passing favorable legislation to give them the power to bargain on behalf of the people without undermining business profitability. Regulation of business transactions, especially in the issuance of permits and certifications and organization, incorporation, and management of the business to ensure that appropriate laws are there to ensure that companies are not overly taxed by the government and that they will help the functioning of this business in a profitable manner( Podhkul,1-2,). Consumer protection and government regulation ensure that relevant laws are passed to protect how consumers of various goods are protected by state laws. Protection of privacy and identity theft by passing laws that will protect royal rights and copyrights in the business of research and innovations. As explained by Samuels, the regulation of homeowners associations to reduce taxation on the rent and lease of land is land ownership (2). Oversight in the construction industry to help minimize the costs of the building. Oversee the following agencies: Risk Management Office, Insurance Office of Hurt Employee’s Council, and Texas Mutual Insurance Company Board of Directors.
My deep understanding of business activities as a well-known businessman will be a positive contribution to this committee, being well aware of the challenges that most business people face due to heavy taxation proposals. Business information should be made readily available to all the players in the sector, and the provision of finances and risk management should be made adequately by establishing necessary regulations in line with the government policy and the policies of my party.
Environmental Regulation Committee:
The committee monitors air, land, and water pollution and regulates industrial development. With agricultural and manufacturing activities, businesses should be closely monitored to ensure that they comply with environmental regulations.
Regulation of waste disposal and environmental matters under the Department of Health Service. It oversees environmental regulations and radioactive waste disposal.
Environmental issues are at the forefront of our party agenda, especially with the current climate change, and are a passionate issue that is urgent and necessary. Being engaged in the petroleum industry, concern for environmental regulation that will not harm the industries is to be undertaken.
Agriculture and business affect the environment adversely when they pollute the surrounding area.
Having been involved in aerospace and aviation, there is a need to address the environmental issue to help improve these industries with little negative impact on the environment.
Service And Connection With Voters:
Connection with voters will be using Facebook and d Twitter to keep my voters aware of the activities, policies, and concerns addressed in the house. Create a blog that will be used to attract more voters from Dallas and be used as an apolitical forum to gain the confidence of my constituents. Frequent media appearances with positive news on issues affecting the people and making sure table bills in the house address these concerns. Making frequent public appearances will also help to make voters relate to me in preparation for the next general election.
Getting Political Mileage:
Social conservation, traditional values, and moralism are the main traits of this country, and political mileage should be strategic. Low government intervention is advised for political mileage, promoting the worthiness and rights of ordinary people. The issue of land in Dallas is of great importance and should be addressed by advocating for the reduction in land taxation that was recently implemented to provide financing for education. Education should be funded by the federal government, and Texas should push for a partnership with the federal government for this purpose. Take advantage of real estate prices that are at the boom. The Texas Water Planning Board solved the East Texas government. Marvin Nichols Reservoir is left to farmers and lumbering companies. Create a website other than the well-known one and aggressively encourage the voters to access it for solutions. Continue using the campaign team platform to advocate for the delivery of political promises to those who voted for me. Regularly visit the grassroots social, educational, and economic prevents to remain in touch with the voters and ensure they do not forget me.
How To Stand Out Politically
All my salary and benefits will be used to finance education, and I will also advocate for support by fundraising to help create awareness of the need for environmental conservation. The community can access funds for voter education to improve voter turnout, especially among the poor, so that they can be heard through voting instead of resigning to let the rich lead.
