Dear Travis County Voter,

My name is Gerald Daugherty, and I am the County Commissioner from Precinct 3 in Travis County. I need your help if I am to be re-elected. If you believe that county government should be accountable to its citizens and should be responsible with your tax dollars then I need your vote to continue as your County Commissioner.

Responsible spending of tax dollars, the ability to provide basic services, better roads and better mobility in the county are a few of the many challenges facing our area. As we move toward our future I believe that only a responsible and accountable county government can make possible a better Travis county.

Bringing accountability to county government may seem to be a daunting task, but it must be done. Citizens should expect and demand that the following core functions be delivered efficiently and effectively:

• Criminal justice, emergency medical services, and county roads. For each of these services we need to set specific expectations and standards.
• Sustained investment in infrastructure.
• Responsive basic services such as an efficient sheriff's office.
• Preservation of the environment.
• Government that believes in delivering capital projects on time and on budget.

This is the minimum we should expect as taxpayers!

Precinct Three has a special challenge - it contains more than 50 percent of the county roads in Travis County. As many of you know, I have fought for better transportation solutions in Travis County both as a citizen and as County Commissioner. I will continue to fight for adequate funding to maintain the existing roadway system, and will seek innovative ways to find more dollars for much needed additional roadways.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you want to get involved in any way possible. Please contact my campaign if you would like to be involved. With your support I look forward to continuing as your County Commissioner.

Sincerely,

Gerald Daugherty
