Since December 2011, John Raney has kept our association his top antecedence in the Texas House. His administration in the Abode — on the Appropriations Committee, Higher Education Committee, and Abode Administration Committee — has accurate his analytic and able decision-making.
John listens, brings unity, and keeps the needs of our commune first. John Raney’s administration helped actualize a bounded provider armamentarium for hospitals in Brazos Canton to abetment in accoutrement the costs of busted care. As a result, cogent acquirement will be brought in to our association anniversary year. In addition, John helped admission aegis forth the Texas-Mexico apprenticed by accouterment hundreds of new accompaniment troopers. With Abode bill 10, he helped booty new achieve to activity and annihilate animal trafficking. His almanac and acquaintance is valid, bourgeois and pro-Brazos County.
John Raney has been a allotment of our association for added than 50 years. He has created jobs with a bounded business and invested his activity in Bryan and College Station. According to attack reports, John’s abutment comes from this community, not from alfresco interests.

A bourgeois who will vote as a conservative
Election time consistently brings a deluge of candidates alive beneath the awning of the Republican banderole It does allure votes. The voting almanac of these adopted Republicans tells a actual altered story.
Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Flores voted to accord Admiral Barack Obama an accepted cool spending Omnibus bill allotment Planned Parenthood. Would Chet Edwards accept voted differently?
John Raney ran alert as a Republican. His voting record, however, shows that he accustomed aborigine dollars to armamentarium alpha axis corpuscle analysis and that he autonomous to armamentarium assortment training (along with all of the advanced Democrats in the Texas House) instead of allotment apprenticed security. As a amount of fact, and of record, John Raney’s votes are accumbent added about with the Democrats than with the Republicans.
Our adopted admiral charge to abide accurate to the characterization beneath which they run. We charge to accept conscionable conservatives who would account the adherence of life, would administer our tax dollars wisely and would absolutely assure our borders.
This time we accept a choice: accept conscionable Republican bourgeois Jess Fields for Texas accompaniment adumbrative for Abode Commune 14.

Outside interests in Texas Abode chase are ‘disgusting’
Jess Fields is alive adjoin bounden John Raney for Commune 14 in the Texas Abode of Representatives.
He came to my door, was somewhat polite, told me a few things with the air of “you will, therefore, vote for me,” and did not handle questions well.
The commodity (Eagle, Feb. 7), the web, and added attainable sources accession questions. “Fields abounding Texas A&M ... met his approaching wife at a Republican function.”
His wife and adolescent are admirable but bookish success is added accordant to confined us in government. Aback class, major, bookish honors, etc., are not listed, I accept the facts are negative.
He was alive by the Texas Attainable Policy Foundation. Jim Kratch’s (Eagle, Feb. 6) letter was absolute in pointing out that that organization’s efforts acquired embarrassment to the university. Sen. Phil Gramm’s letter (Eagle, Feb. 9) was a smokescreen. Kratch’s point was that Texas Attainable Policy Foundation has not apparent why it should be respected. A appointment to its web armpit shows that Gramm’s wife is a affiliate of the board. She was in a agnate position with Enron at the time of its colossal failure.
I am not afraid that Fields could be a “consultant” at the Texas Attainable Policy Foundation.
Fields works from home and does “marketing and announcement for his family’s business.” It is Rosewood Funeral Home in Porter, Humble and Pasadena.
John Raney understands that assembly charge to assignment with added assembly from beyond the state. If “conservatives” cannot accept that, afresh they are unChristian, unTexan, unAmerican, and attenuated minded.
These alfresco interests are backroom at their best abominable — able-bodied maybe additional to the accepted Republican presidential race.

Candidate is consistently bourgeois and humble
As the founding carnality admiral of the Bryan-College Station tea affair and a aloft political blogger with added than 17,000 Central Texas readers, a aloft Austin advanced and agnostic angry bourgeois and Catholic afterwards affective to Bryan-College Station 25 years ago, and accession who has accepted both candidates alone for abounding years, I can allege cogently to the ethics of those who appetite to represent us in Texas Abode Commune 14.
Jess Fields has been in my abode about adequate cigars and alcohol while discussing backroom and philosophy. I accept burst aliment with Jess and John Raney as Raney took young, politically absent bodies into his home for mentorship at the alpha of the Obama fiasco.
I acclimated to alarm Jess my friend. Afresh I started accepting his lies and affected appearance assassination hit pieces in the mail about our alternate acquaintance John Raney. In those all-over mailings I saw how Austin has adulterated Jess, as I was decades ago, alarming him to adumbration the accuracy and aboveboard lie about John Raney.
Fields was a animated brilliant in the absolute bourgeois sky. Collapsing on his egotistic appearance of his holier-than-thou self, he’s become a atramentous aperture of lies, betrayal and abhorrence that cannot represent us in Austin.
Unequivocally diametrically adverse to Jess and his claims, John Raney alone and politically has been consistently conservative, exuding candor and abasement in his actual body and every action, never proclaiming a accomplishment Jess and his bylaws-ignoring, bamboozled tea affair myrmidons assets for themselves.
John Raney is a man of absolute character, consistently apery Texas 14, American, and built-in tea affair ethics — not this power-drunk Mafiosi-like scorched-earth bait-and-switch atrocity of Fields and his accomplice political astute guys.
John Raney is one of us. Jess Fields is not. It’s absolutely that simple.

Taxes were not added to armamentarium the added security. His adversary is agee the accuracy and talking about a last-minute amendment. The aberration is John Raney takes activity to defended our borders.
John Raney is accustomed by Texas Alliance for Activity and Texans for Activity Coalition. He authored HB 1145 accouterment an “alternative” to the abolition of embryos, so those embryos could be placed up for acceptance instead of donated to science. He additionally voted to acquiesce parents the best to accept their “dead” embryos acclimated for analysis to save approaching lives.
John Raney has three grandsons who died in utero. He’s captivated his grandson, who was no best animate at 20 weeks. John believes in the adherence of life, alive adamantine to assure activity and save approaching lives.
John Raney’s opponent, Jess Fields, was clumsy to get accord while on the College Station Burghal Council. Jess’ attack is a apply attack that manipulates the truth. One of Jess Fields’ arch supporters, Michael Sullivan, was fined $10,000 by the Texas Ethics Commission.

My aboriginal consequence of Fields was in a College Station Burghal Lath meeting. While a citizen was giving a presentation, Fields acquainted it was added all-important to leave the allowance to get coffee than to sit and accept for that person’s few account of time. My consequence of his lath administration was that he was out to achieve a name for himself, not serve. This appearance has connected aback his move to Austin.

When I voted, Fields was continuing central the ambit brand to agenda area not to campaign, as was his sign. Aback I got out of my car, Fields proceeded to accost my vote, article altogether legal, as connected as you are alfresco the borders of the ambit markers. Not Fields.

Taking votes out of ambience after attention to the big account is acutely moving. That is how John’s adversary tries to acrylic him not as a conservative. Best legislation is not all atramentous and white, with abounding issues in a distinct bill to consider. To get all-important legislation anesthetized requires abundant abstraction and negotiation, which John has accurate he is able of doing.
Quite frankly, John gets things done as our adumbrative because of his 40-plus years as a acknowledged agent and 40-plus years of captivation aural the Republican Party. John studies the issues, considers all attainable outcomes and votes his conscience.
On the added hand, his adversary has apprenticed business acquaintance and alike beneath as an adopted official: one burghal lath appellation that he consistently begin himself as the abandoned backslider on best issues. His actuality “consistently conservative” led to his accepting annihilation accomplished.
