Bishnu Nyoupane Professor Sharifian Government 2306 12th April 2018 STRATEGIZING ELECTION CAMPAIGN IN TEXAS The aim of this paper is to strategize the election campaign in the next Texas election. There are brief discussions on the cost that has been spent in the earlier election campaigns in Texas by the two dominant parties-The Republican and the Democrats, strategies to raise money for the campaign, and designing the campaign logo and slogan. I have identified the interest groups in relation to the campaign, the support and opposition that I am going to receive and the target group.
Cost to run the office According to the March 2017 report, there is no fixed amount that a potential electoral candidate needs to spend to win the

It will empower non-willing mothers to choose whether they want to abort the child or not. Secondly, it will render women the power to decide what they want to do with their body. For this campaign, I expect support from the women’s rights groups, socially liberal and Texas Medical Association (The Voter's Self Defense System). I expect opposition from the conservatives, religious groups, Marriage, Family and Children, socially conservative. The Women’s Rights Group and the Social liberals will support my campaign as it empowers women and recognizes their individual autonomy. The Texas Medical Association will support, as this provision will legitimize safe and healthy abortion. The above-mentioned groups will oppose my campaign because it is against their ideology. These groups believe in family values and individuals cannot take that life away as it is gifted by …show more content…

Texas residents have decisions of some sort almost every year, and in more than one case all through the 12 months. all through biennial in vogue races, the gigantic scope of workplaces and submissions brings about phenomenally long tickets. electorate, confronted with tickets loaded down with applicant names and issues unforeseen to them, astonished why they ought to vote. Even though it is moderately simple to qualify and enroll to vote in Texas, the genuine example of voting in the state recommends critical boundaries, and maybe an absence of adequate impetus, to voting. The necessities for voting in Texas are straightforward and few.

Texas is leaning purple, and may indeed become a blue state in the future if current trends continue. The Republicans, on the other hand, are facing the fact that they must either find a way to court the Hispanic and other minority vote, or if unsuccessful in those areas, find themselves resorting to suppressing the vote through voter ID laws, changes in the early voting policies, and finding other ways to decrease voter turnout by minorities and increase voter turnout by their traditional white base.
Nothing that has occurred in the last several years in Texas has been quite as controversial as the new and increased usage of toll roads for new road construction. We have heard many statements that the toll roads are being built as a money-making system for the state (and the Department of Transportation). Statements have also been made to the effect that the state is "selling" the state, one length of roadway at a time; that the current roads could be maintained by the state, with current state funding levels. The main complaint is that the roads of Texas have always been free, and should continue to be free. But are these arguments correct?
In the youth of Texas, the Democratic Party enjoyed electoral dominance on all levels of state government and in the representation in the national government. Democratic rule was dominated by a conservative white political elite that strongly promoted economic development, but that resisted change either in race relations or social programs for the poor ("Texas Politics," 2009). Republicans were not completely absent during this period, but their electoral victories were few and limited in scope ("Texas Politics," 2009). In every election after 1980, however, the Republican strength grew into the now dominant rule that currently reigns in Texas. Since the 1990’s, the Republican Party, despite the attempts of others, has had a stronghold on the state government. With that being said, the Republican Party has dominated the overall elections.
The Texas government is an unusually complex institution that is composed of many different levels. Everyone asks, with a constitution like the one Texas has, can people really trust the government? The main reasons why people might not be trusting of the government are that they might believe that the officials take advantage of their power, or want to try to control them. The Texas legislature is also subject to checks and balances in the three branch system. For example, the governor 's power to veto bills, which is rarely overridden, and to call special sessions; while the court has the power of judicial review. In Texas, the Constitution divides the powers

The government of the state of Texas is a difficult and complicated institution that is composed of many different levels. The question comes in to everyone's mind at one time or another whether or not to trust the government. It could be that people believe that the officials will take advantage of their power, or simply people don't like the idea of being controlled by someone who is not a family member or friend. To avoid this centralized power, the government is divided into stages and this is a reasonable ground for trusting the government. Government runs this state and it does deserve to be trusted.

Texas Democrats extend this philosophy to the issue of public education. “All children should be able to attend a safe, secure school and have access to an exemplary educational program that meets their needs and abilities. All school districts must be adequately and 100% equitably funded. All Texans should have access to affordable, quality higher education and career education programs.” Clearly, they believe every child in Texas deserves a high quality education, and have outlined several propositions to accomplish this goal. Texas Democrats would like to reduce reliance on "Robin Hood" and instead utilize state revenue to es...

Through every choice in life, there is a decision that must follow. Abortion is a woman’s individual choice; therefore, must be a legal part in todays society. Individual rights have an outstanding role in the controversial topic, on whether abortion should become legal in the United States . The individual rights for abortion show rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. As well, women should be able to have the choice to choose to have an abortion for several important reasons. The right to make these decisions should lie in the hands of the “mother” to make decisions concerning their own to make decisions concerning their own bodies. In addition, women should be given the choice to have an abortion if they are too young and unable to take care their child financially or emotionally. Additionally, the right to have an abortion is if the pregnancy negatively affects the woman's or the baby's health. Without abortions as a choice for the “mother” to resort to while she is going through hardship on deciding whether to keep the baby or not, the endless possibilities could negatively influence the mother to put her and the baby in a dangerous positions.
