Announcement of candidacy for US House District 32 and campaign kick-off event

Today I am proud to announce my candidacy for the 32nd Congressional District from the Great State of Texas and I want you to be the first to know.  My decision to run has not been made lightly, and I can no longer continue to witness the reckless behavior of our government.  I respect your hard work as the backbone of the local Republican Party and look forward to meeting you, working with you and hearing your views on the pressing issues facing our nation and Texas' 32nd District.

 

I grew up in Farmers Branch and graduated from R.L. Turner High School.  I went on to earn degrees in music education and finance (MBA) from the University of North Texas and am now a Corporate Finance and Accounting Analyst.  I have always voted Republican, even in my youth, and participated in the Denton County Republican Party before returning to Dallas County after the last election cycle.  My concentration the last two years has involved lobbying for reform in the Texas transportation system.  This experience has included speaking from the steps of the Texas Capitol at a march / rally last spring and testifying before the Sunset Commission of the Texas Legislature last summer, and contributed to the death of the Trans Texas Corridor earlier this year.  I was also honored to speak on several resolutions at the 2008 Denton County Republican Convention.

 

I am a conservative Republican that endorses the State Platform, and as a corporate accounting professional, I am also a strong fiscal conservative.  And sadly I recognize that record budget deficits under Republican leadership led to the exponentially greater debt spending that we see today.  I know that our government is broke, in more ways than one, and pledge to do the job our current leadership is failing to perform.

 

My campaign will focus on issues affecting Texas' 32nd District and our government:  Accountability, Fiscal Responsibility and the Economy.  In coming days you will learn more about my campaign as I move forward to Victory in 2010!  I hope to earn your support and your vote, and am looking forward to meeting each of you soon.

 

My campaign Kick-Off will be Monday, November 9 at Sambuca in uptown and I would like to invite the Dallas County Republican Party Precinct Chairs to attend as my guests!  Look for a separate announcement for that event to follow and please RSVP to either 214-235-9215 or davidsmithforcongress@yahoo.com.

 

Thank you,

 

David Smith

Candidate, U.S. House
