TSA (Anti-Groping) Budget Debt Deficit Sonogram Bill SBOE Maps Illegal Immigration Cuts/Spending It's all on the table, come let Sen. Patrick what your concerns are! Dan Patrick is considered by many as the most conservative member of the Texas Senate. In just his first term, he has become a leading conservative voice in Texas and in the Texas legislature. In a recent Austin political news magazine ranking the most influential Republicans in Texas, Senator Patrick was listed at #3, just two spots behind Governor Rick Perry and the only member of the Texas Senate to be named in the top 20. Senator Patrick has accomplished more in his first term than some legislators accomplish in a career. He passed legislation placing "In God We Trust" permanently in the Texas Senate Chamber and passed the Senate bill to place "Under God" in the state pledge. Senator Patrick passed the largest tax cut of any legislator in the country in 2009 - a $172 million cut to business taxes for small business. Dan also passed another two dozen important pieces of legislation including a bill requiring all Harris County water districts to have generators for backup power in the event of an emergency. Because of his strong work ethic and dedication to study the issues, Lt. Gov. Dewhurst has given Senator Patrick one of the most challenging combination of committee assignments. He serves on the critically important Finance Committee; is vice chairman of Education; serves on Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services, Intergovernmental Relations, and on Redistricting, another key committee for the 82nd Session. Dan has been married to Jan for 35 years. Their son, Ryan, is a Harris County assistant district attorney, their daughter, Shane, will become a registered nurse in a few months. This year, Dan welcomed his first grandchild, Zachary Colton. Dan hosts a daily talk show on AM700 in Houston, has written a best seller, produced an award winning movie, plays the piano and guitar, and paints watercolors in his spare time--which isn't much these days. Senator Patrick can be heard in the DFW area on KVCE 1160AM, M-F at 7pm.
