THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! I WAS UNOPPOSED!

I am proud of my first legislative session and the accomplishments it produced, including the passage of a balanced budget without raising taxes, exempting small businesses earning less than $1 million per year from the franchise tax, and improving accountability in our education system.

I am especially proud to have sponsored and passed the ChildLINK bill in the House.  This legislation will provide health insurance to 200,000 uninsured Texas children — at no cost to the taxpayers. As your representative in Austin and as one of only three physicians in the Texas Legislature, I will continue to fight to protect patient access to a free market health care system and stand firm on tort reform to protect medicine, small business, and the people of Texas.

Our state and nation faces many challenges.  I am running for re-election to Texas House District 97, so I can continue fighting to reduce taxes, improve our education system, increase government accountability and transparency, and ensure that Texas remains a friendly place to live and work for generations to come.

I appreciate your vote!

Mark Shelton, MD
