SUMMARY:TARA Austin Chapter April Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Asian Republican Assembly of Austin is having a meeting April 4th\, 2017 at Sherlock’s Baker St. Pub\, 9012 Research Blvd. at 6:30 PM\, with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. \nTexas’ 51st Attorney General\, Ken Paxton\, is known for his principled and uncompromising devotion to America’s founding values\, and as a man who has demonstrated enormous political courage throughout his service to Texas. \nThe son of an Air Force veteran\, General Paxton is a stalwart leader with an abiding passion and deep-seated respect for our U.S. Constitution. \nIn his first year in office\, General Paxton hit the ground running\, filing eight lawsuits against the federal government to protect Texas sovereignty on environmental issues\, health care\, religious freedom and immigration. The lawsuit he led for a 26-state coalition stopped President Obama’s illegal immigration plan in its tracks\, winning in federal courts three times. \nHe also launched a new unit targeting human traffickers in Texas\, fought for the rights of consumers against unscrupulous companies and institutions\, and protected the privacy rights of Texans during the RadioShack bankruptcy hearings. \nWhile serving in both chambers of the Texas Legislature\, General Paxton worked to protect the 10th Amendment\, defending Texas’ state sovereignty. He co-sponsored and defended Texas’ Voter ID bill\, and has been a prominent voice in the defense of religious liberty and the protection of the unborn. \nA defender of our free enterprise system\, General Paxton has worked to make Texas a beacon of economic prosperity\, opposing burdensome government regulations that harm Texas jobs and stunt economic growth. \nKen Paxton was born December 23\, 1962\, in Minot\, North Dakota\, while his father was stationed at Minot Air Force Base. He graduated from Baylor University\, where he served as student body president\, earning a B.A. in psychology in 1985 and an M.B.A. in 1986. \nIn 1991\, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law\, founded by Thomas Jefferson. After law school\, he joined the firm of Strasburger & Price\, LLP\, and later served as in-house counsel for J.C. Penney Company. \nFirst elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 2002\, General Paxton represented House District 70 for 10 years\, one of the fastest-growing regions in the state. In 2012\, he was elected to the Texas State Senate\, representing Senate District 8 in Collin and Dallas counties. \nHe met his wife Angela\, a guidance counselor at Legacy Christian Academy in Frisco\, while they were students at Baylor. The Paxtons have four children: Tucker\, Abby\, Mattie\, and Katie. They are members of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. \nTuesday is happy hour with $2.50 Texas beers and Sliders sandwiches. Everyone is encuraged to order dinner\, drinks and ask questions!
