The RLC of CD 36 has had the opportunity to meet with each of the candidates in this hotly contested runoff race. While both men have shown themselves to be men of character and integrity, we believe Mr. Steusand is best suited to face the challenges currently facing our country. His willingness to challenge those advancing liberal legislation on both sides of the isle is the type of representative we need more of in DC. In addition to his fighting spirit, Ben’s understanding of the current fiscal issues will prove to be a valuable asset for our district.
Jeff LeBlanc, Chairman of the RLC of CD36 stated, “After
extensive conversations with both candidates, Ben Streusand is clearly
the better choice to represent constitutional conservative
Republicans. He has a passion to correct the wrongs of current
leadership which doesn’t seem to be a priority for the other candidate
in the race. As we see our conservatism watered down daily in D.C. Ben
Streusand is the clear choice for those of us who want to fight this
trend.”

REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS URGES CD36 VOTERS TO SUPPORT STREUSAND
HOUSTON, TX – In the hotly contested runoff in CD36, the Republican
Liberty Caucus of Texas and its regional chapters in the area strongly
urge voters to support Ben Streusand to fill the seat currently held
by Republican Liberty Caucus Advisory Board member Steve Stockman.
State RLC Chairman Jeffrey Larson commented “Ben Streusand is the only
candidate in this race who can be trusted to reduce government, not
increase it.” Former RLC National Chairman Dave Nalle gave Streusand
his personal endorsement and observed that “Streusand is the candidate
most likely to continue the emphasis on limited government and
challenging the party establishment which distinguished Representative
Stockman.”
Local support for Streusand is strong, with three RLC chapters in the
area. Jeff LeBlanc, Chairman of the RLC of CD36 stated, “After
extensive conversations with both candidates, Ben Streusand is clearly
the better choice to represent constitutional conservative
Republicans. He has a passion to correct the wrongs of current
leadership which doesn’t seem to be a priority for the other candidate
in the race. As we see our conservatism watered down daily in D.C. Ben
Streusand is the clear choice for those of us who want to fight this
trend.”
“Ben Streusand is a tried and true defender of liberty. Today, the
Washington establishment is waging an all out war on our
Constitutional rights. We need people like Ben in office to restore
the promise of liberty in America, which is why the Republican Liberty
Caucus of Houston proudly endorsed Ben Streusand for CD 36.”
Local RLC board member Scott Bowen added “The status quo in Washington
is unacceptable. Both parties are complicit in problems such as
illegal immigration, mounting debt, and the continual erosion of our
constitutional liberties. Ben Streusand will not become another
creature of the Washington establishment. He will defend our rights
and our tax dollars. More importantly, he will set an example and
force other Republicans to do the same–even if that means a change in
our Congressional leadership. Vote for Ben. You won’t be
disappointed.”
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas is a grassroots membership
organization with chapters all over Texas, promoting the traditional
Republican Party values of limited government and individual liberty.
