Joan Huffman for Texas State Senate District 17

Survey

In case you haven’t heard, our state senator resigned from the senate in June creating a leadership void on issues critical to families across Senate District 17.

As I’ve traveled throughout the district over the past few weeks one thing is clear: Senate District 17 families seek a return to commonsense conservative values and real-world solutions.

I tackled life and death decisions daily during my 24 years as a prosecutor and elected criminal district judge, and I’m ready to fill the current Senate District 17 leadership void by serving as your advocate in the Texas Senate.

I am beginning my campaign by seeking your input, not the input of Austin special interest groups. Like you, I know the solutions to our public policy challenges will be found here at home, not in Austin.

So please share your thoughts and comments on the survey below. Together we can make a difference.
