AUSTIN - TEXPAC, the political advocacy arm of the Texas Medical Association (TMA), has endorsed Rep. Charles "Doc" Anderson for reelection to Texas House District 56. TMA is Texas' largest physician organization.
"Representative Anderson is an advocate in the Texas Legislature for patients and physicians, especially as it relates to safety," said Manuel Acosta, MD, chair of the TMA Political Action Committee (TEXPAC) Board of Directors.
During the 2007 Legislative session, Representative Anderson advocated for increased child safety by requiring safety belts in school busses. He also worked to ensure Texas' hard-earned tax dollars are spent appropriately and wisely."
Representative Anderson also shares TMA's desire for a health care system that permits more time for patient care and gets physicians out from under the crush of government and big insurance interference, and paperwork. "We look forward to working with him again," stated Dr. Acosta.
TEXPAC speaks on behalf of more than 43,000 Texas physicians and medical students, and nearly 8,000 alliance members. Organized in 1962, TEXPAC is one of the oldest political action committees in Texas. TEXPAC also is one of the largest bipartisan PACs in the state and ranks first in size among other state medical association PACs.
