State Representative Rodney Anderson Announces Candidacy for Texas State Senate

By Rodney Anderson | Posted on September 13, 2011

Friends,

I am proud to announce that I am running as the conservative Republican candidate for the Texas Senate, District 9.

Texas is at a critical point in history and we have a choice to make: we can go down the same road that gets us the same results with a career politician, or we can take the path less traveled and actually make a meaningful impact on our state by electing a Senator who understands that he works for us: the people of Texas.

The conservative members of the Texas Senate need more support. Fiscally responsible legislation must leave the Senate as responsible as it arrived from the House. If we are truly going to make sustainable, long-term improvement to our state, we must elect more genuine conservatives to the Texas Senate who are willing to make the tough decisions necessary to keep our state on the path to prosperity and in a business climate that encourages economic growth and job creation. Unfortunately, our district has been represented by a 20-year incumbent career politician who is funded by liberal trial lawyers who push job-killing legislation and anti-business policies. Our district deserves better.

I will work tirelessly to offer my candidacy to you, the people I have called my friends and neighbors my entire life, and I will be the kind of Senator who more closely reflects your philosophy of less-intrusive, responsible government. Serving my friends and neighbors as their State Representative has been the honor of a lifetime. I hope to continue serving you in the Texas Senate.

Thank you for allowing me to serve.

Statement on New Legislative Districts

By Rodney Anderson | Posted on November 18, 2011

 

Dear Friends,
 
Late yesterday the San Antonio federal court issued new interim maps for the Texas Senate.  Although some changes were made, Senate District 9 remains a Republican district.  I announced my plans to run for this seat in September and my plans have not changed: I will continue to aggressively pursue the Republican nomination for Texas Senate, District 9.
 
For months now, I have campaigned vigorously in this district, securing the support of many elected officials, as well as grassroots and business leaders in the many communities in the district.  I am also proud to have received the endorsement of strong pro-business and conservative groups including Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, Conservative Republicans of Texas, Texas Right to Life PAC, Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC and Texas Association of Realtors.  These conservative grassroots leaders and organizations know that I will go to Austin and fight for our families and businesses and will be a trusted ally in the Texas Senate.
 
The communities in Senate District 9 deserve strong leadership that will stand up for our interests, not those of Fort Worth or Dallas. I was born and raised here, went to school here, raised my family and worked here.  And I will stand up and fight for our interests first.
 
As I said when I announced my intentions to run, I will work tirelessly to offer my candidacy to the people I have called my friends and neighbors my entire life.  I will be the kind of Senator who more closely reflects your philosophy of less-intrusive, responsible government.  Serving my friends and neighbors as their State Representative has been the honor of a lifetime. I hope to continue serving you in the Texas Senate.
 
Thank you,
