The Issues of the Tarrant County Democratic Party

ON THE ECONOMY:
We believe that all must have the ability to prosper for America to prosper. The Democratic Party has always supported the hard working families and small business’s that are the heart and soul of our economy.

ON HEALTH CARE:
Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Programs. The record is clear, the Democratic Party supports quality affordable healthcare for its citizens. Healthcare presents many challenges in the 21st century. We will face them as always with the best interest of the people in mind.

ON EDUCATION:
The need for quality public education that prepares all of our children to compete in the 21st century is clear. From the Head Start Program to Pell Grants The Democratic Party’s record of supporting education, our children, our schools and our educators is clear.

ON ENERGY/ENVIRONMENT:
Democrats have led the fight for Clean, Dependable, Sustainable, Affordable Energy This is the only sensible goal of any energy plan.

ON BIG INSURANCE:
The need for leadership that looks out for your interests rather than special interests is all too evident. It’s time to stand up to unaffordable health and homeowner’s insurance. Record profits are being made while Texas families strain under the burden.
