Scott’s Domestic Priorities
-
Property tax relief
Texas is not a cheap place to live. We need to continue tax cuts and other fiscal measures to ensure, at the end of the month, we have more money for our families and our businesses, not a larger government.
-
Improving education
A former professor, K-12 school principal and private school owner, Dr. Scott knows Texas education has multiple problems. Teachers deserve raises and not to have the higher ups regularly misuse funds, while parents deserve options. Read more here.
-
Securing Texas
Whether it is illegal immigrants or foreign adversaries, we need to safeguard our border and our entire state. Scott will work tirelessly to maintain our sovereignty and prevent unlawful activities. Read more about his expertise in this area and his solutions here.
-
Smart infrastructure
Texas needs to repair old infrastructure and invest in new. No matter if it is population growth, ice storms or drought, Texas will continue to be hit hard. Read how Scott will help prepare Texas' infrastructure for the future.
-
Reducing crime
Crime in Austin is rising. Most non-violent crime isn't even reported because of lack of available police. Dr. Scott dealt with crime almost everyday while living in South Africa. He will help ensure we don’t have a similar situation here.
-
Smarter spending
We need to impose fiscal discipline to begin to turn around the affordability crisis gripping the Lone Star State today. As an academic, a business owner and father of five, Dr. Scott wants to see the results of our money spent and will ensure accountability by all.
-
Supporting business
We must continue to support business growth in Texas. The state provides a welcoming environment. Combined with Texans strong work ethic, businesses from small to large are the backbone of our state and America as a whole.
-
Legalizing medical marijuana
Cannabis has a plethora of medical benefits. Texas has taken the right steps with hemp and its compassionate use program, but it doesn’t go far enough. It’s time for full medical marijuana in Texas. Read more here.
-
Term limits
Lifelong politicians often erode the trust we have in our elected officials. It’s time you have a representative who is running for the right reasons, to help Texans and the organizations making a real difference.
-
Improving mental health
Regardless of age, mental health is crucial for a stable, prosperous life. Approximately one in five Americans experience mental illness. This significantly affects the nation, resulting in an annual cost of $282 billion due to lost wages, decreased productivity, and reduced spending and investment.
-
Standing with Texans in uniform
Dr. Scott fully supports the Texan men and women who serve our communities, our state, and our country. From first responders to our military overseas, you have friends in Scott and his family.
-
Motivating future leaders
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” This well-known quote has never been more true. Hopefully Dr. Scott's campaign will motivate new leaders passionate about serving their community to get involved.
