AUSTIN - TEXPAC, the political advocacy arm of the Texas Medical Association (TMA), has endorsed Rep. Nathan Marcias for reelection to Texas House District 73. TMA is Texas' largest physician organization.
"Representative Marcias is a vigorous champion in the Texas Legislature for patients and physicians," said Manuel Acosta, MD, chair of the TMA Political Action Committee (TEXPAC) Board of Directors. "He works hard to ensure Texas' hard-earned tax dollars are spent appropriately and wisely.
"He also shares the Texas Medical Association'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 Representative Marcias again to improve the health care of all Texans," added 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.
