Congressman Marc Veasey

The current United States government is a Federalist Republic government, where the states all have less power and the central government have most the power. The central government is comprised of a 2 house system, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Texas has it the same way also, the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate. Marc Veasey is a member of the Texas house of representatives in district 33 which includes parts of Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, and Oak Cliff. The majority of the population that lives in district 33 are Hispanics and Whites with Blacks and others being the minority. District 33 also houses most of Dallas / Fort Worth military business establishments which is very important for the economy not only in the area but for the state of Texas. Marc Veasey has been in public service for over a decade, first elected to the Texas House in 2004 to represent District 95 and has now gone for four consecutive terms in district 33.Marc serves on the House Armed Services Committee as well as the Environmental Regulation, Elections, and many other military committee's. Marc is a Texas Democrat that is known for his stance on voting rights, affordable healthcare, good schools and jobs. Marc is backed by many labor organizations such as the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organization, American Federation of Teachers, National Education Association, and the Texas medical Association just to name a few. In district 33, which has many military establishments in the area from defense to scientific research and development, with Marc Veasey serving on the House Armed Services Committee and the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, issues dealing anything with military establishments will certainly get Marc's attention and his voice defending it. Another issue in the area would be immigration, as far as the area is away

    The individualistic nature of state politics can be seen in the support for private business, opposition to big government, and faith in individual initiative. Even though these political cultures are seen throughout the state, I can see one day that the political culture may change. More then one thousand people move to Texas every day and from all over the country. Each one of these individuals that move have different viewpoints on politics based off where they were raised, what social class they consider themselves to be in, and even race. Nowadays we find that the older population seems to be the one that votes and has higher impact on Texas politics and also who is elected, but the youth of our generation seems to be catching on and having more and more of an impact on our political culture. I believe that sooner or later the state of Texas will be so diverse that the political culture will change and it will no longer feel like a one party dominance in all of the states…

    As well political culture, “both reflects and shapes the terms debate of the competing interests in society.” (Texas Politics-Texas Political Culture)In the recent year political culture has been the cause of many political arguments. In the American culture the values of liberty, equality, and democracy are emphasized. With political culture there are times where political leaders obtain too much power considered considerable to individuals.(Champagne and Harpham, pg.34) In Texas the government is often perceived as getting in the the way of individual liberty rather that something that can help them accomplish their dreams or interests. Two views of equality are present in Texas a play a huge role in the political culture. The first view is the equality of opportunity which can be found deep in the Texas’s traditionalistic individualistic political culture. Equality of opportunity is the view that every citizen in texas should be ensured to be treated fairly and equally while helped in making it on their own with their interests and skills. Another view is political equality, which has been found an issue in Texas politics. This view has started to grow as an issue with the growing importance and population of minorities such as African Americans and Latinos. Many debates have taken place over the equal…

    Texas Policy Report

    • 1234 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Texas has a reputation throughout history of differing views from the federal government in laws and politics pertaining to social, fiscal, and educational issues. On the whole, Texas operates as a largely conservative state. Because of this, policy-making is often right wing. With the institution of a Democratic, liberal president, the State’s dissent from the Federal government has only increased over certain issues. One hot topic of the 2012 Presidential election was immigration. With the major increase in immigration, it is no surprise that the issue was so emphasized. Between 2000 and 2011 there was a 30 percent increase in the foreign-born population. The immigrant population grew from 31.1 million to 40.04 million. (americanprogress.org) Texas has a special interest in this subject due to the fact that they have a population of over 4 million immigrants. Texas is among the top three states with foreign born individuals living within its borders, giving the state a vested interest in the nation’s immigration policy. (Orrenius et al., 1)…
