RANDY WEBER ANNOUNCES HIS ENDORSEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL

“The Taxpayer’s Best Friend” endorses a proven conservative leader who is equally committed to protecting the taxpayers of Texas

Today, Randy Weber announced his endorsement by Congressman Ron Paul (R-Lake Jackson), who represents the 14th Congressional District of Texas.

Weber said, “I am pleased to announce that I have been endorsed in my campaign by Congressman Ron Paul. This is a tremendous honor, and I thank Dr. Paul for his strong vote of approval for my campaign. I’ve long admired Congressman Paul’s commitment to principle over politics, and his dedication to fiscal responsibility and accountability in government. His endorsement is exceedingly rare in state races, and I am proud that he has chosen to acknowledge our shared commitment to conservative principles and liberty.”

“Congressman Paul and I have both dedicated our years in elected office to shrinking the size and scope of government by reducing wasteful government spending and by easing the financial burden on taxpayers,” said Weber. “He is known as the “Taxpayer’s Best Friend” in Congress. I will work just as hard to become the “Taxpayer’s Best Friend” in Austin, by supporting legislation to reduce property taxes, enact appraisal caps, and eliminate wasteful government spending.”

Weber continued, “I look forward to working with Congressman Paul to find ways to secure our Texas borders, halt the flood of illegal immigration and to neutralize the threat of terrorists coming across our borders. By coordinating state and federal efforts, we can make Texas a safer place for all our families.”

Federal Election Commission reports show that one of Weber’s special election opponents, Mike O’Day, contributed thousands of dollars to Congressman Paul’s Democrat opponent in 2006. However, Congressman Paul easily defeated his opponent and won re-election with over 60% of the total vote.

Congressman Paul represents the 14th Congressional District, which has a large geographical overlap with Texas House District 29, including all of Matagorda County, and over a third of District 29 voting precincts in Brazoria County.
