Creating Jobs and Lowering Taxes:

Jay Dean is a job creator. As the owner of a successful small business he understands that good jobs help Texas thrive. He also understands that lower taxes can help his fellow business owners continue to provide the jobs Texans need.

Border Security:

Jay supports the conservative, groundbreaking $800 billion border security package passed by the Texas Legislature and will fight for even greater resources to seal the holes in our border.

As a business owner Jay Dean participates in the program that verifies the legal status of all of his employees and supports the new state law that requires the state to use the same verification system.

Protecting Traditional Marriage:

While Washington wants to push their liberal ideas on the rest of the nation, as Texans, our religious liberties must be fought for. Jay will defend the definition of traditional marriage as our next State Representative.

Defending the 2nd Amendment:

From liberal activists and judges legislating from the bench, our 2nd Amendment rights repeatedly come under attack. Jay is a proud gun owner and NRA member. He will always defend our conservative values and freedom to bear arms, including open carry legislation.

Improving Public Education:

Our schools are the foundation of our community. Jay Dean will fight for our kids’ future by allowing for more local control, parent choice, and providing cutting-edge technology in the classroom – without spending beyond our means.[5]
