As your Texas voice in Washington D.C, I fight hard each day to bring down-home conservative Texas thinking to Congress. As I work in my fourth term in Congress, I appreciate your interest and need your support to stay as the advocate for Texas' Congressional District 2.
As a sixth generation Texan, I think I know what matters most to Texans: conservative ideals, lower taxes, efficient use of tax dollars, the sanctity of the Constitution, expanded border security, and limited government control.
Some of you may know me as a former, no-nonsense judge of a felony court in Harris County where I came up with "innovative sentences" for felony offenders. If you've seen those folks with sandwich boards proclaiming their crimes, then you know about my "Poetic Justice."
As a judge and former prosecutor for over 30 years, I saw problems with the punishment of criminals and the treatment of crime victims in Texas and sought creative, innovative solutions. I continue this work today in Congress.
I am in Washington because of you and I value the job that you have sent me to do. I have a proven record of fighting for less government control over our lives, lower taxes, less federal spending, the application of justice in all levels of government and a strong national defense. I am not a Washington insider. I am an independent thinker who works across party lines to do what's best for Texas. During my third term in Congress, I have:
Spoken more on the House Floor than any other member of Congress and have addressed conservative topics important to Texans;
Supported tax incentives and tax credits for individuals and businesses to help the economy;
Supported patient-doctor driven, cost-effective healthcare and therefore voted against the government takeover healthcare bill presented to the House;
Supported the spirit and letter of the Constitution against the expansions of government control;
Not voted for legislation that requires any tax increase;
Supported pro-life issues;
Voted against all bailout bills as excessive government intrusion;
Taken a strong stance for energy independence and voted against the crippling Cap and Trade legislation;
Stood strong for victims of crime and first responders through my chairmanship in the Victim's Rights Caucus;
Led the successful release of border agents Ramos and Compean;
Traveled to the Texas-Mexico border to promote tougher border security; and
Visited our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and voted to help our returning veterans.
Thank you for visiting my website. Take a look around. I am honored by your interest and support.
God and Texas,
Congressman Ted Poe
Federal election law requires political committees to use best efforts to report the name,
mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed
$200 during an election cycle. An individual may not contribute more than a total of $2500 per
election to the committee. Federal law prohibits contributions to the committee from the
general treasury funds of a corporation, labor organizations or national banks (including
corporate or other business entity credit cards), from any person contributing another's funds,
from a Federal government contractor, or from a foreign national who lacks permanent
resident status. Contributions are not deductible for Federal income tax purposes.
