Sam Johnson formally files for re-election
Today U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) filed official paperwork to formally launch his re-election efforts to serve the Third District of Texas.
Johnson recently sent a letter to his supporters. "As a 29-year Air Force veteran and a former Prisoner of War for nearly seven years in Vietnam - more than half of that time in solitary confinement - you have honored me by allowing me to serve as your voice in Congress and I am humbled by your support," he wrote.
"You know my record; you know that I know that freedom isn't free. I don't take our liberty for granted. As a Constitutional conservative like you, I have fought for our liberty and freedom every day that I've been in Congress," he professed.
"My belief is if families across America have to balance their budget and live within their means, so should the federal government. I am proud to be known as a strong advocate of smaller government. That means balancing the budget, cutting spending, shrinking the deficit and reducing burdensome taxes and regulations that hamper our economic growth. The sign in my office reads, ‘It's the spending stupid,'" he declared.
Johnson sits on the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, where he chairs the Social Security Subcommittee. House leadership appointed Johnson to the Joint Committee on Taxation and he serves as a Deputy Whip (vote counter). Johnson helped found the Republican Study Committee – formally known as the Conservative Action Team – and recently the respected nonpartisan publication National Journal ranked Johnson as the most conservative Member of Congress in the last session solely based on his voting record.
"It's time for Washington to stand back and help - not hinder - the American Dream. I hope you'll join me. I believe America's best days lie ahead of us," said Johnson.
Johnson has already held numerous events to garner support for his campaign. Additional cities added to the newly re-crafted Third District include Celina, Fairview, Lowry Crossing, Lucas, Princeton, Prosper, and St. Paul.
