June 30th Deadline

Dear Friend,


I am proud of the progress we made in the 88th Regular Session but know we have a long way to go in this new Special Session to deliver the largest tax cut in Texas history. My staff and I are hard at work here in Austin and look forward to having a productive Special Session.


It is more important now than ever that we continue to elect honest and trustworthy officials to guide our communities through difficult times. Because of your support over the years, I have been able to successfully win re-election and continue to serve you in Austin. This past session we were able to get 16 crucial bills passed, and I hope to serve you again in the next.


I am ready to fight for your freedoms and rights, and I hope you will support me in those efforts by helping me once again. I have a major fundraising deadline at midnight tomorrow, June 30th, and any contribution you can make will be a huge help.


Please consider chipping in $5, $25 or $100 to my campaign today.

DONATE

As always, thank you for your continued generosity and support. I could not do this successfully with out you.


Thank you and God Bless,

Dennis Paul

State Representative, HD129
