The Texas Political Environment

by Adam Smith


The 2010 Texas Elections are soon here. Well, this is very important for Texas. As you probably know, choosing who will govern Texas is done by a democratic vote by the population of Texas. That's how the elected individual is chosen to hold public office. That is why everyone must make an important choice in this. It's for our own future. Don't forget that the Governor stays in power for four years.

As you probably may know, being a Governor is not a piece of cake. The Governor of Texas has the ability to approve any bill passed by the Legislature of Texas. Plus, they have great veto power and are able to grant most paroles. For this year, we have three main candidates. We have Bill White from the Democratic Party, Kathie Glass from the Libertarian Party and Rick Perry from the Republican Party.

Kathie Glass is a lawyer who once ran for Texas Attorney General. Bill White is a former Houston Mayor. Rick Perry is hoping to get re-elected for the third time already.

In case you didn't know, Texas is a state which is considered a Republican stronghold. What are the main topics for this election? Well, border security is very important. Then, we have education. The economy is always a great concern also. Well, the deadline for voting is set at fourth of October. To help voters, Texas will launch a web site that will inform voters about the election. This way, voters won't have such a hard time getting information about voting. It will ultimately help the election.

The web site will enable citizens basic registration as voters. Plus, they will be able to change their address on voter cards. In addition to getting more important information about local representatives, they will be able to complete a registration for for voting there.
