Shawn Thierry, 2016 Democratic Candidate Running for House District 146 Discusses How Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Collaborative Cooperation For Our Communities

Concerned Citizens,

As your State Representative, I will work with Mayor Turner, our new State Senator Boris Miles & County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, Congressman Al Green, Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee, District D City Council Member Dwight Boykins, District K City Council Member Larry Green, and other council members and elected officials to maximize opportunities for the residents of District 146. I will create collaborative efforts to solve the challenges facing our district, our city, and all Texans.

1. It's time to reform the bail system in our state to make sure people are not in jail simply because they can't afford to pay bail. Also, the county jail should not be a revolving door for those needing a hospital bed, so tackling our state's mental health crisis is another key priority. I am eager to work with fellow Democrats and our Republican colleagues in the 2017 Legislative session toimplement community treatment programs, increase funding for psychiatric hospitals, as well as examine the mental health needs for juveniles in our state's foster care system.

2. Poverty and hunger are real problems in our community and across the state. The best way to address these challenges is to make sure all Houstonians and Texans have access to affordable workforce training, good paying jobs, and a strong safety net when they need a helping hand. I plan to reform state economic incentives to bring more jobs to District 146 and to encourage local businesses and contractors to hire more local residents. "Hire Houston First" is a good program for hiring more local businesses. Let's hire more Houstonians first, including those who need a second chance.

3. Senior citizens need more than just property tax relief to hold on to their houses. They need help keeping up with home repairs. Homeowners have been using their own money to mow weeded lots in their neighborhood; they should be reimbursed for those expenses. State and federal laws should be amended to allow affordable housing dollars to be used to help senior citizens with these issues.

Teamwork matters, and I intend to be a team player who will work hard for the residents of District 146. I would be honored to receive your vote on Election Day and hope you will join our team now.

Let's all win...together.

Together,

Shawn N. Thierry, Esq.

OPEN LETTER from Shawn Thierry, A Democrat Running for State Rep. District 146 Who Believes We Can Make A Difference Together

Together We Will Make A Difference

Dear Dedicated Democrat,

If we are going to reduce crime, improve education and revitalize our neighborhoods in District 146, we are going to have to do it together. I am ready to partner with the residents in our communities to help lead this essential effort.

As your State Representative, my focus will be empowering Civic Clubs, community leaders and local business owners to make sure that you have a seat at the table and a meaningful voice in the decision making process.

I am a life long resident of District 146, graduate of Howard University, and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University. I have been an attorney for more than twenty years.

As a mother, and product of the public education system, I understand the importance of good schools and that a better education funding formula will improve the schools in our District (146) and across the city.

As a small business owner, I know first-hand the kind of hard work that is required to succeed. We need a level playing field and access to public and private sector contracting opportunities. I will be a champion of local businesses, diversity and inclusion. A small business advisory group will help me with these issues.

Higher education is important. All the young people in District 146 should have access to an affordable, quality education and work force training. I will work with local colleges, universities, churches and community organizations to help secure scholarship funding for our high school graduates. Together, I want us to encourage and celebrate academic achievement among our children and grandchildren.

During the 2017 legislative session, I plan to address education, jobs, public safety, community revitalization, and focus on securing more funding to fix flooding here at home and throughout the region. I will also work to secure more services for seniors and funding for improved health care in the District.

We have serious work to do and together we will get it done.

Together,

Shawn N. Thierry, Esq.
