our federal government" said State Representative Kevin Roberts announcing that he will seek the Republican nomination to serve Texas 2nd Congressional District following Cong. Ted Poes (at right) notification that he will not run for re-election.
Roberts currently serves in the Texas State Legislature representing a portion of Northwest Harris County. The 2nd Congressional District is wholly within Harris County and includes all or parts of the following: Atascocita Champions Cy-Fair F.M. 1960 Area Garden Oaks Houston Huffman Humble Kingwood Klein Montrose Medical Center Memorial Park Old Braeswood Rice Village South Hampton Spring Spring-Klein Spring Branch Summerwood The Heights West University.
Our region is still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. We need dedicated effective leadership to help the thousands of families and small business who have been affected by that devastating storm.
The strength and resiliency our neighbors and communities have shown throughout this recovery effort is an inspiration to me as I offer myself as a conservative Republican candidate to serve on their behalf."
Roberts Pledges to Continue a Legacy of Limited Government Conservatism From my time serving in the State Legislature I have a proven record of delivering conservative results that seek to make our government more effective while limiting its powers to intervene in our lives. President Trump and this Congress have begun to roll back the damaging effects of eight years of the
Obama Administration but there is much more to do said Roberts.
From getting rid of Obamacare to strengthening our military securing our border and continuing the necessary work to unravel debilitating government regulations and taxes that have strangled our nation there is no shortage of conservative reforms that are needed to create a stronger future for our children and nation.
I am asking for the vote and support of conservatives across the 2 nd Congressional District so we can ensure we have a voice in Congress who understands the Texas model of success: fewer regulations and taxes coupled with pro-growth policies are necessary to create more freedom opportunity and prosperity for our families and small businesses Roberts said.
