JOUR-PAC is proud to endorse Ron Wright for Texas' 6th Congressional District. This district is currently represented by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX 06), who is retiring.
Ron Wright is a former Arlington City Council Mayor Pro-Tempore and Tax Assessor-Collector of Tarrant County with a proven record as a conservative reformer: "Ron spent the first thirty years of his career in the private sector. His first job was milking cows on his family's dairy farm in Springtown, Texas. After that, Ron worked in construction before managing an audio visual company at the age of 25. Ron then went to work at PVI Industries in Fort Worth, Texas, selling high-end commercial boilers and water heating equipment. Beginning in 1985, he spent fifteen years as a project manager for a cooling tower company in Fort Worth, Texas, overseeing multi-million dollar projects throughout the United States and Canada. Ron served at-large on the Arlington City Council from 2000 to 2008, including the last four years as Mayor Pro Tempore. He was the District Director for U.S. Congressman Joe Barton from 2000 to 2009 and was the congressman's Chief of Staff from January, 2009 to May, 2011. In May, Ron left Washington to accept appointment by the Commissioners Court to replace Betsy Price as the Tax Assessor-Collector of Tarrant County. He was elected to a full term by the voters of Tarrant County in November 2012, and re-elected to a four-year term in November 2016. Ron has received numerous awards recognizing his civic leadership, including Volunteer of the Year, Man of the Year for Community Service, Hero of the Homeless award, Friend of Education commendation, the Partnership Award of the Fort Worth Builders Association, and a special award from the Arlington Historical Society." The following are some of his views on some important issues: "Taxes and Spending: As Tarrant County Tax Assessor Collector, Ron instituted systematic reforms to increase efficiency, eliminate redundancy, and return hard-earned money to taxpayers. As Representative for the 6th District, Ron will fight for comprehensive tax reform, cutting taxes for the middle class and simplifying the tax code for working Americans. Ron’s proven track record of fighting for lower taxes and against government waste has garnered him the endorsement of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. Education Reform: When it comes to education, Ron believes that local control is better than centralized bureaucracy, and that parental choice is crucial in the schooling of our children. In Congress, Ron will back legislation that maximizes government support for education and minimizes government interference with parental rights. Ron will fight for the autonomy of local school districts, the expansion of school vouchers, and the rights of parents to home school their children." Some leading JOUR-PAC Reformers have endorsed Ron Wright for Congress: JOUR-PAC Reformer State Senator Konni Burton (R-TX SD 10) stated: "Ron Wright has been a longtime fighter for every citizen he has represented. Even if he disagrees he listens and seeks to serve the interest of each individual. He is a consistent proven conservative and I'm proud to endorse him for Congress." JOUR-PAC Reformer State Representative Matt Krause (R-TX HD 93) stated: "Ron is a committed conservative and has proved that by standing up for the people of Tarrant County time and again, both as councilman and Tax Assessor Collector. He will be just as vigilant in Washington! He is an honorable man with impeccable character and integrity---we need more of those qualities in D.C. In short, Ron is the Wright man for the job!" Ron Wright has the experience and a proven record as a former councilman and current Tax Assessor Collector and the character and integrity to be an excellent representative for the people of Texas' 6th Congressional District. He is a just, compassionate, results-driven candidate who will pursue justice, opportunity, and reform in Congress. Therefore, JOUR-PAC officially endorses Ron Wright for Texas' 6th Congressional District! We urge the citizens of Texas' 6th Congressional District to support Ron Wright for Congress.
