Michael Morton sat 25 years in a Texas prison after being maliciously prosecuted by a District Attorney’s office. Ken Anderson claims he doesn’t remember. Facts and testimony suggested there was reasonable doubt that Morton had committed the murder. The defense team was never given access to evidence that likely would have exonerated Michael Morton. Had Mr. Morton been freed, there is a possibility that another murder may have never been committed.

Our current district attorney fought hard to keep a blood soaked bandanna from having DNA tests performed at the request of Michael Morton and his attorneys. Was he protecting his mentor, Ken Anderson from a horrible discovery? It certainly seems more than speculative to assume so, since he has failed to investigate or prosecute a commissioners Court that has been charged with corruption by the stalwart County Attorney Jana Duty.

Lady Justice in Williamson county has been blindfolded by a blood soaked bandanna and now we must ensure our local legal heroine, Jana Duty, has the support of a public that demands Themis swing her sword.

The former Chairman of the Williamson County Democratic Party and former Democratic candidate announced today his filing for a place on the Republican ballot. Gregory Scott Windham, a proclaimed states-rights conservative, real estate broker and child advocate outlined a campaign to cap county debt and provide solid leadership in precinct 3. Mr. Windham filed for the position Monday with GOP Chairman Bill Fairbrother.

 ”In the year 2020, the percentage of the population over the ages of 65 is going to be greater, for the first time in history, than the population of people under the age of 15. And this is going to impact everything — from our health and human services, to how we deal with transportation, to our housing problems, to our workforce issues, to energy and the environment. The issues are clear; finances, roads, and jobs.”

Windham says the current court has ballooned the county debt to over one billion dollars and that it will not be paid off anytime soon. “There was a time when conservative leaders believed we should invest in our children’s future. Valerie Covey’s policies have the children investing in us. Her sprawl initiatives have mortgaged our children’s future for decades. We have the third highest debt service in the state. How do we have more debt than Dallas County? Travis County?Collin County? It’s just failed leadership.”

Windham is a lifelong central Texas resident and father of four young children. He lives with his wife Sara outside of Georgetown and operates real estate brokerages in Williamson and Tarrant counties.

“My experience in managing multi-million dollar property portfolios gives me ample experience working with municipalities and taxing authorities. Our debt is killing us. We spend considerably more each year on debt services than we do on law enforcement, jails, or indigent health care. I will work with all government entities to reduce and cap the debt now before we find ourselves bankrupted by this Court’s spending spree.”

Mr. Windham pledges to take no political donations from Political Action Committees. Individuals that donate can expect transparency and an open door policy.

“I will not be beholden to anyone for a campaign donation. If you want open, honest leadership then I appreciate your support.”

Mr. Windham had been an outspoken critic of the Democratic party in the county, state, and national levels after being elected Chairman in 2010. He openly bashed the Texas Democratic party for parading their liberal agenda and ultimately resigned to endorse the Republican candidate for State Representative in District 52.

“The Democrats cannot win in Texas as long as they keep preaching gun control, abortion, and gay marriage. People want jobs, prosperity, and a government that will keep out of an individual’s personal life. The Democrats convinced me that I am, indeed, a Conservative Republican,” said Windham.

The Republican Primary will be held on the anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, March 6. “It’s time we ‘Remember the Alamo’ and take Williamson County,Texas back from the special interest forces that have invaded our government.”

 God Bless You and God Bless Texas

I pledge to resolve a debt cap on the county so that no more bond elections may be held to drive our county deeper into the drowning pool of debt. Our children’s futures have been mortgaged away and it is our duty to pay off this debt instead of handing it down to the next generation.

As Thomas Jefferson said, ”It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”

Why have we spent so much money on roads on the peripheries of the county? Our current county commissioner appears unfazed by the amount of debt that she continues to issue. We have to wonder why a commissioner that claims to be a conservative would spend taxpayer dollars like a drunken co-ed in Cancun on Daddy’s credit card. Just click here to follow the money trail and you will find a convincing argument that Valerie Covey is a representative of the Road Lobby first and a government official second.

I pledge to take no campaign donations from Political Action Committees that have any sort of business with the county. It may not be illegal in Texas, but in my opinion, government policy should not be for sale.

Our team will plan on smart growth in Precinct 3 by resisting new bond initiatives for more road building. We have roads in disrepair requiring immediate attention and crime enforcement issues that need to be addressed with any money we may have left.

• Providing needed services for the 400,000+ residents.
• Building essential public facilities only when absolutely necessary.
• Keeping the tax burden at the minimum reasonable level for now and … in the FUTURE.
• Cap County Debt at a $1 Billion dollar limit .
• Urge restraint in approving more residential development in Precinct 3 until the County can afford the necessary facilities and services required by new residents. Promote Urban Growth Limits and advocate for dense, New Urban development in Precincts 1, 2, and 4
• Promote new business/commercial development county-wide.
• Maintain the rural economy and character of Georgetown, the Town Square, and the phenomenal resources we have in Precinct 3.
• Continuing to press the State to develop an adequate sustainable source of transportation funding.
• Oppose the Highway 29 project and 10 lane Cross-County Corridor that will burden our taxpayers for many years to come.
• Provide the hard working law enforcement and prosecutors of the county with a County Crime Lab so that our citizens are protected from criminals and over anxious prosecutors that destroy our citizen’s faith in Government.
• LISTEN to the advice of the elected County Attorney and stop spending millions of dollars on outside counsel and left-wing lobbyists.
