“There are major differences in the April 8th runoff. I urge you to support Randy Dunning, the only real Republican who is a conservative and who has always stood with Republicans when it mattered. He will not let us down.”
The Honorable Dick Armey
Majority Leader
U.S. House of Representatives 1995-2003
“While in Austin, I have learned how critical it is to
have conservative, principled allies to stand
side-by-side with me and other conservatives.
In the April 8th runoff for State Representative,
Richardson residents have the opportunity to
elect Randy Dunning, the only candidate who
will stand with us in the fight for lower taxes,
less regulation, and smarter, more efficient
government. He has my full endorsement,
along with many conservative organizations
in Texas. When liberals come forward with a
new idea on how to spend your hard-earned money (and I promise you they will)
you can count on Randy Dunning to be there with me in opposition.
Richardson has been served ably by my friend Fred Hill, and Richardson will be well-served by Randy Dunning. He makes his living at Rockwell-Collins in Richardson, and he understands the important issues facing the community.”
Jim Jackson
State Representative District 115
Dallas County Commissioner serving Richardson (1974-2004)
“Republicans in Richardson and Garland face a clear choice between Randy
Dunning, a champion of conservative principles, and his opponent, who has
donated thousands of dollars to some of the most liberal Democrats in North
Texas. I urge conservatives to return to the polls on April 8th to elect Randy
Dunning.’
Bill Crocker
Republican National Committeeman for Texas
“I supported Jim Shepherd in the March 4th primary, but I’ve
taken time to study the two candidates in the runoff. Randy Dunning is clearly
the conservative choice for Richardson, and he will represent us well in Austin.”
Eddie Dees
Richardson
“Having supported Jim Shepherd before the run off, I believe that Randy
Dunning, who has worked in Richardson for years, is the best candidate in
this race to represent District 112 in Austin. It is crucial to have somebody
of Randy's caliber down at the Capitol representing the needs of the people
in our district.”
Bill Denton
Richardson
Former Homeowners Association President
“I have known Randy Dunning for about six (6) years now and while many times he and I disagreed on the best way to accomplish certain improvements for the City and Citizens of Garland, I have to admire and respect his integrity and his dedication to seeing that ALL citizens are treated fairly. He is a great proponent of the U.S. Constitution and Rights that it gives our Citizens and his Neighbors. He has always been a gentleman and I feel he would always do his best to represent his constituents and to do what is best for ALL Texans!!!”
Jerry DeFeo
40 Year Garland Citizen
“I recently retired after nine years as the elected Vice-Chair of the
Republican Party of Texas. We worked tirelessly to provide conservative leadership
for Texas, including massive lawsuit reform, protection of traditional marriage,
elimination of the telecommunication tax, etc. During that time, Texas moved
from being a solidly Blue State to becoming a solidly Red State.
Now, liberals, looking for ways to take back power, are running as candidates in the Republican primary, recognizing that this is their best chance of being elected in Texas. One of those candidates – Angie Chen Button – is currently running as a Republican for State Representative in your district. Amazingly, she actually has a record of working AGAINST Republicans. Not only did she contribute to liberal Democrat Ron Kirk when he ran for U. S. Senate against Sen. John Cornyn, but she also contributed to the Democrat who ran against U. S. Representative Pete Sessions. She has also made significant contributions to extremely liberal Dallas County Democrat office-holders.
Randy Dunning is her opponent in the upcoming run-off, and Randy is a strong conservative Republican who has long record of working hard in the grass roots to advance conservative principles and values; in fact, he was even serving as a precinct chairman when he decided to run for this seat! Randy understands that to keep voters looking to Republicans, we must continue to offer principled, conservative leadership that protects both the pocketbooks and values of ordinary Texans. Randy has already provided that leadership on the Garland City Council and he will do the same in Austin.
I urge you to join me in supporting Randy Dunning. Please remember to vote for Randy for State Representative in the run-off election on April 8th!”
David Barton
Former Vice Chairman
Republican Party of Texas
“Randall Dunning has been a strong advocate for the rights and
freedoms of people. He has supported public education as well as home school
education. During his council terms, Randy always made his decisions based
on what was good for the City of Garland and its citizens as a whole as well
as his constituents.”
Preston Edwards
Councilman, City of Garland
“I’ve known Randy for over 10 years now, first introduced through mutual employment at Nortel Networks. With a his very outgoing personality, incredible intellect, strong work ethic, and the heart of a servant to God, family and his community, we became fast friends. While a direct report in my department at Nortel, Randy was without equal as he routinely worked difficult issues and brought his broad skill set coupled with his strong Christian worldview to bear on any assignment given him. I believe Randy is a statesman with unmatched qualities, uniquely worthy to hold the office of state representative. And he will do just that – represent us, the people of district 112 - if you join my family in voting for Randy in this critical run-off election.”
Joe Faurote
(Former Supervisor of Randy Dunning)
"I have worked with Randy Dunning in the Republican party of
Texas for nearly 20 years. He is steady, courageous and a tribute to our party.

Austin."

"Randy Dunning is a champion of the 2nd Amendment. Of all the
candidates in this race, Dunning has the most proven record of
standing firm for the right to keep and bear arms. "
Karl Ninh
“We need a CHAMPION to STAND FOR US in Austin. The enemy is not necessarily another political party; its bronze javelin may be found in the long-established back room dealings; its spear is the requisite obedience to party bosses, and its armor is the political pandering with which we have all become too familiar. When the enemies of private property, personal responsibility, fiscal discipline, and freedom loom as a giant overhead, we need a man whowill not shrink away; a man who will stand with faith inhis cause and his principles; a man who will say"Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him."
"There are not many times we can truly vote for a champion to go and fight in our stead, but we havethat opportunity on April 8. With faith I will gladly vote for RANDY DUNNING.”
Darren Lathen
Garland City Councilman
“Randy has the experience and commitment to conservative values that is so badly needed in Austin. He will be a leader for his district and for Republicans in Texas. "
State Representative Jodie Laubenberg
(Former Richardson resident)
"I’ve lived in Richardson a long time, raised my family
and
grownmy business here. I know the kind of representative
we need to lead us through difficult times when so many hands are reaching
for our tax dollars. I perceive in Randy a leader who is truly in it to benefit
the people, not promote himself. I ask you to join us in voting with confidence
for Randy Dunning."
Bob & Carol Williams
Richardson
“Randy has a long and distinguished record of community service and
leadership in the Texas Republican party, including five years on the Garland
City Council. We couldn’t send a better champion of Christian and conservative
values than Randy Dunning to represent us in Austin.”
Kirk and Beverly McCord

"You were in our neighborhood yesterday (Sunday), and left a
flyer
on my door.....District 112 needs the kind of leadership you're
offering down in Austin, thank you for running."
Lance & Linda Hall
Richardson

conservative principles once they get into office. From timeto time we need
to shake up the system by sending a man likeRandy Dunning to Austin. He will
fight for you, your family, and your values.”
Denise McNamara
Republican National Committeewoman
Texas
“For conservatives who support limited government, lower taxes,

Cathie Adams
President of Texas Eagle Forum (organization listed for ID purposes only)
“You have a chance to elect a new Republican state representative who will be on the side of the homeowner and the taxpayers down in Austin. Randy Dunning is that man. Randy Dunning fought to keep property taxes down when he was on the Garland City Council, and he will support legislation in Austin to enact badly needed property tax reform.”
Tom Pauken
Former Texas Republican Party Chairman
Former Chairman, Texas Task Force on Appraisal Reform
"In an age of politicians who tell us what we want to hear, Randy
Dunning is a breath of fresh air. He’s full of passion and conviction,
and has the integrity we need in our elected officials."
Ed & Re Jackson
Garland
"It’s rare that a State Representative retires, giving voters the opportunity to elect someone new. In fact, the incumbent is stepping down after 18 years. Let’s choose his replacement wisely by supporting Randy Dunning. He will stand for us - not the special interests."
Bob & Joy Hitch
Garland
"Randy Dunning knows we need to gain control of big government instead of sustaining its growth. That’s exactly the kind of conservative voice needed in state government, and we should give Randy the opportunity to be that voice."
Ken & Pat Bishop
Garland
"When Randy Dunning was on the city council he always answered my questions. I knew he was a fine Christian man with wisdom. I could talk to him about anything and he always listened carefully. Councilman Dunning could be counted on to help people solve any problems they were having."
Mary Beth Busbee
Garland Senior Citizen
“As a Garland resident I watched Randy stand on principles as
a member of the Garland City Council. He conducted himself with honor and
represented his constituents well. Quite frankly, we would do well to have
a man of his caliber serving us in Austin. He has earned a promotion to the
state capitol."
Troy Prestenberg
Garland
"Randy Dunning offers voters a solid record of public service on the Garland City Council, real world business experience, and personal integrity. That combination will make him an effective fighter for our district and conservative principles.”
Jerry & Marilyn Redden
Garland

Bonnie Wells
Richardson
"Tired of out of control illegal immigration? Randy Dunning will work to ensure that the State of Texas takes all actions possible to secure our border and discourage illegal immigration. While not being mean about it, he wants to ensure our generous social services do not become bankrupt."
Jay Pierce
Precinct Chair 2107
Former Precinct Chairman of the year
"Randy, his wife Karen, and his four daughters don’t just talk family values - they live them everyday here in our community. Randy Dunning will be an outstanding representative for Garland and Richardson."

strongest record of fighting for lower taxes and more efficient government."
John McDonald
Garland
"Randy is a Christian man of strong faith and good character. He does
not let power and patronage trump principles of good government. He above
all the other candidates can be trusted with such an important seat of power."
Jim & Carol Cahill
Garland
"We feel Randy is the best candidate to carry a big stick, articulately
present and defend the conservative position with a mastery of the English
language, and best to carry the strong, heartfelt desires of a true moral,
ethical, fiscal, constitutional, and religious conservative."
Brain & Ruth Jensen
Garland
"This election represents a rare opportunity to send someone
who will truly represent the people at the grass roots level. We need a man
like Randy Dunning fighting for us in Austin."
