Dear Friends,
My name is Bob Romano and I want to represent you in Austin. I believe we need new representation in our district. I also believe many voters know that “it’s time for change”. Please read on to see how you can help.
I am humbled for having been elected as the Democratic nominee for the general election in November. Our primary race was spirited and fast moving. We ran against an outstanding candidate who was well funded, dedicated, and hard working. However, we prevailed thanks to the Irving voters!
My experiences as City Councilman, Planning and Zoning Commissioner, and founder of the Irving Veterans Memorial Park have prepared me to serve you in Austin. Experience gained while working for IBM for almost 30 years in technical, administrative, management, and executive positions also prepared me to serve.
My wife and I have lived in Irving, been property owners, and raised a family here since 1957 (after serving in the USAF). I have lived in Texas since I was a teenager and I have seen what Texans can do when things need to get done. I have seen the good that can be accomplished for its citizens when our representation in Austin truly represents the people of Texas.
When elected as your State Representative, I will dedicate myself to:
- Lowering tuition at our Colleges and Universities & improving public school funding
- Improving benefits for our military veterans
- Stimulate and support economic development
- Improving air quality for the DFW area
- Work to lower credit card interest rates & fees
The challenges and rewards facing our city are increasingly important. I will always feel a true calling to serve Irving because it has served me and my family over the years.
I will work hard to earn the votes of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents across this district. I know voter support for the incumbent has decreased from approximately 76% to approximately 55% over the years. This radical drop is fueling our campaign because Irving voters know "it's time for change".
Sincerely,
Bob Romano
