PALESTINE — Texas conservative Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Pauken spoke to the Anderson County-Palestine Texas Tea Party/Citizens for the Constitution during a stop in Palestine Tuesday about his plan to form a grassroots campaign for governor, touching upon the need for more vocational education for students, border issues and term limits for state officials.
“We’ve got to put a team back together, put together a principled approach and take the fight to the left,” Pauken said during his speech.
A native Texan, Vietnam veteran and former Reagan agency head, Pauken first became involved in politics during the Goldwater for President Campaign in 1964. A year later, he was elected national chairman of the College Republicans during the rise of the anti-Vietnam protest movement. Enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1967, he served as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam.
He also is a former Texas GOP Chairman and served as the Chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission from 2008 to 2012. He was awarded the Reagan Medal of Honor for Meritorious Service while serving as the director of the ACTION agency under Reagan’s administration.
