Four Points resident Jay Wiley announced his candidacy for the Texas House of Representatives District 47 on June 19. The seat is currently held by Rep. Paul Workman who announced his campaign for re-election June 17.
Wiley previously ran for District 6 representative to the Austin City Council in November.
He said his platform for the House seat is based on budget reform, tax relief and a stop to illegal immigration.
“Conservative leadership is lacking in Travis County,” Wiley said. “When it comes time to stand up for conservative principles, I think Paul [Workman] flinches. We need someone [who is] not afraid to talk to these issues in Travis County.”
Wiley said the state’s property tax is “one of the most burdensome in the country” and his goal is to eventually eliminate the tax, replacing it with a simple consumption, or sales, tax.
