Issue Position: Ensuring State Sovereignty

Issue Position

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Washington has a bull's-eye on Texas, and we need bold leadership to hold the line against our out-of-control federal government as it continually attempts to encroach on our rights and liberties. I have a loud and clear message for Barack Obama: Mr. President, Texans will govern Texas!

The states were designed to be the laboratories of democracy, not entities to be wholly ruled by the federal government. In a day and age where state sovereignty is perpetually under attack from the Obama Administration, Attorneys General are on the front lines battling for states' freedoms. As your Attorney General, I guarantee that I will fight every day to preserve the integrity and purpose of the Tenth Amendments.
