On The Trans-Texas Corridor - NO!

Contrary to the Governor's claims, Texans have never voted on the Trans-Texas Corridor.  The TTC-69 could result in the taking of over 8,000 acres of private land.  Let the people vote on it, and we'll vote it down!

On The Proliferation Of Toll Roads - NO!

I do not support the Governor and TxDOT's plans to convert freeways to privatized toll roads.  My opponent voted for toll proliferation.

On The Widening Highway 146 - YES - UPDATE - ACCOMPLISHED!

TxDOT said there was no money for any such project to widen Hwy. 146, until John Otto drew an opponent.  Then, miraculously TxDOT found the money.  So, my campaign has already won something for the district and I haven't even gotten elected yet!

On Your Gun Rights - YES!

As an avid sportsman, Arlan Foster will protect the citizens’ right to own and legally carry firearms.

On Political Reform in Texas - YES!

Arlan favors giving Texans the right to statewide initiative and referendum, just as citizens in 24 states have had for nearly a century.  I&R gives the people the right to petition for a vote of the people on legislation.

On Securing Our Borders - YES!

He supports protecting our borders against those who would violate our sovereignty, including terrorists and drug cartels.

On Texas Education - YES!

“I know that adequately funding our kids’ education is paramount,” Arlan says.  “Texas schools are improving, but we have a long way to go.”

On Texas Prisons

Texas is #1 in state prisoner population (171,790!), #1 in staff turn-over; (the state must recruit and train 600 to 700 new officers a month!) and reports a 22% attrition rate. At the same time, Texas is 47th in pay starting at about $23,000 a year and topping out at a little over $34,000 after 8 years service, putting our lives on the line in increasingly dangerous crowded conditions. This is one of the best kept secrets of the current administration.
