The NY Times reported that Van de Putte accepted the endorsement of both the police and firemen unions right in the middle of contract negotiations. What is Van de Putte getting out of this? What is she promising the unions?
Van de Putte was in the Texas Legislature for 24 years, backed mainly by the Hispanic voting majority (approx. 75%) of her district. Van de Putte has more than shown her Liberal ways through her voting record:
- She voted against restrictions on abortions (HB-2, SB-5, SB-16, and CSSB-785)
- She voted against ultrasound requirements before abortions (CSSB-920 and HB-15)
- She voted against voter ID requirements (SB-14 and SB-362)
- She voted against property tax reduction (CSHB-2)
- She sponsored and voted for a drug needle exchange program (SB-188)
- She voted for drug syringe exchange program (CSSB-308)
In 2003,
Van de Putte fled Texas for Albuquerque, New Mexico for 46 days to avoid a vote
on redistricting. She was part of what
was called the Texas 11, a group of Texas Senate Democrats. Van de Putte
abandoned her duties in the Texas Legislature for political reasons. She fled
Texas on a crucial vote abandoning her constituents.
Van de
Putte is and will always be a career politician. In the past three years, she
has run for three political offices. In 2014, she ran for Texas Lieutenant
Governor. She FAILED! Texans knew she was inept and not good enough for this
position. Van de Putte also backed Wendy Davis in her failed bid for Governor
in Texas. This was a sure sign that Texans couldn’t trust Davis nor Van de
Putte.
Now Van
de Putte is running for mayor in San Antonio, Texas. This career politician just
keeps on sticking her nose into offices that will keep her from getting a real
job!
