HOUSTON – Gail Stanart, longtime conservative, grassroots activist, has announced her candidacy for State Representative in House District 126.
Stanart’s platform will include:
-Advancing property tax reform to decrease the burden on dis
trict families and homeowners;
-Fighting for pro-family legislation that supports traditional family values;
-Resolving district flooding problems with a focus on Cypress Creek;
-Unshackling businesses of a
ll sizes from heavy regulation and the tax burden, including elimination of the franchise tax;
-Seeking wiser solutions to our public education system to help all our students realize a successful future.
“This race is about policies that will strengthen families, schools and businesses in this district. Obviously, with the damaging effects of Hurricane Harvey, flood management must be addressed quickly,” said Stanart.
Stanart will utilize her experience in the corporate world, her career as an entrepreneur, and her long history of community engagement. She is committed to a hard-charging, grassroots, conservative campaign that will outwork and outpace her opponents.
“There will be people who will spend more money than me in t
his race, but there will be no one who outworks me,” she said. “It will be a spirited campaign of ideas and hard work.
The person who represents this district matters because the constituents matter.
I will be an accessible, approachable leader; my door will be open to everyone.”
Stanart is proud to launch her campaign with the following endorsements:
