State Representative Robert Miklos this week endorsed John saying that he is uniquely qualified to help meet the challenges facing middle-class families in the fast-growing East Dallas County communities that Rep. Miklos represents.
John understands how to balance budgets without sacrificing the vital public services our families demand and deserve Rep. Miklos (D-Mesquite) said.
A former prosecutor and member of the Criminal Jurisprudence and Urban Affairs Committees Rep. Miklos said Johns record of finding ways for government to do more and cost less is exactly what Washington needs.
John has helped public school districts keep their doors opened and local police departments streamline their operations and prior to college tuition deregulation his prepaid college tuition plan made college more affordable for thousands of Texas families Miklos said. We know we can count on him to go to work each day and do his very best to make our communities stronger.
