Republicans claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility yet they cannot balance the budget. Since Republicans have had control of both houses and the governors office, the state debt has slowly but steadily risen. Think of how the prohibition of alcohol created criminals and since it has been legal now for decades those criminals who relied on it have vanished as well.Īlso, fiscal responsibility. By keeping it illegal, we are maintaining a healthy cash stream to criminals which could instead go to legitimate businesses.
I do feel that it is a waste of police resources to combat a vice that is so widely used it certainly hasn't stopped it's use. Personally, I have never used marijuana nor do I ever intend to, so it is not to legalize my own personal consumption.

As a first step, decriminalizing marijuana would reduce crime by taking a cash stream away from criminals, allow legitimate businesses to sell it, free police resources to combat crimes that have a victim, and reduce the prison population putting more citizens back into the workforce. I believe in the Libertarian message of reduced government and increased freedom. I have been active in the Libertarian Party ever since and was nominated to be a delegate at the state convention in 20. My relationship with the Republicans ended after the general election in 2016. I became increasingly frustrated with Republicans not following through on their campaign promises of smaller government, less taxes, and fiscal responsibility, even when they control of both houses of the Legislature and Executive (this is at both the state and federal level). Although I have always leaned toward the Libertarian Party, I typically voted Republican because I thought it made my vote count. I am married with 4 grown sons, 3 are employed locally, one is still in college. I moved to Corsicana in 1997 and have lived in Navarro County ever since. I am a 1990 graduate of University of Southwestern Louisiana (now University of Louisiana, Lafayette) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. This allowed me to afford to pay for college on my own. I joined the US Army Reserve as a combat engineer and became a platoon sergeant before my term of enlistment ended. I was born in Wilmington, Delaware but moved in my early childhood to Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Utah before returning to Wilmington where I graduated from High School. In a recent constitution amendment, he championed counties running up debt because he couldn't fight cities like Dallas and Houston to return funds gathered by the state to come back to our district. This doesn't translate to very good representative of our district nor even a very good conservative. I consider my opponent to be a very good Republican. It means not caving in to special interests groups seeking state protection and freebies like the high speed rail line from Houston to Dallas. It also means reducing or eliminating barriers to freedom and free commerce. First and foremost, this means balancing the state budget, something the Republican controlled state government has consistently failed to do. This means I will seek to limit government as much as possible. The Democratic Party has failed to nominate a candidate for this district in both elections. Harris doesn't like competition since he sought to kick me off the ballot both times both times, he has failed to do so. I am running for this seat for the second time against incumbent, Cody Harris. I am currently employed at CertainTeed in Ennis as an electronic technician. I have been a resident of Navarro County, TX since 1997. I have been married to Robin since 1993 and we have 4 sons: Andrew, Brian, William, and David. Hello, I am Ed Adams and I am running for Texas House, District 8 representative.
