Welcome!
Tired of a do-nothing Congress and political stalemate? Tired of watching our economy continue to stagnate, our unemployment rate inch down ever so slowly, our national credit rating remain below AAA, and American jobs be shipped overseas?
I am and last fall, I decided to do something about it – run for U.S. Congress. If successful, I will replace one of the most stubborn and short-sighted Tea Party members in Washington, John Culberson. I am the energy lawyer for the City of Houston, the Energy Capital, working to become the representative of Texas’ Energy Corridor. I am also a Democrat, who believes that all Americans should be treated fairly, that all Americans should pay their fair share of their government’s expenses, and that all businesses should compete on a level playing field.
I cannot do this alone. To be successful, I depend on your support. Here is what you can do:
- Vote on May 29 if you live in Congressional District 7. The experts are predicting low voter turnout so your vote will allow me to become the Democratic nominee. Early voting begins May 14th.
- Donate to the campaign. Although effective use of social media and the internet have brought costs down, it still takes large and small donations like yours to introduce me to the 700,000 citizens in the District.
- “Like” my facebook page. The best way to follow my campaign and to spread my message of common sense for Congress to your friends is by liking my page and encouraging your friends to do the same. Go to www.facebook.com/Cargas7.
Having worked in the U.S. Congress 24 years ago, when it was a functioning institution, I have the experience and understanding of how Congress should operate and ask to be sent back to repair the damage done.
On to victory,
James
