This year in Texas and around the country the lines have been drawn and the battles are beginning for elections locally and nationwide. Every election year, The Conservative Austinite Endorses strong conservative candidates that we believe fit into our vision for America. We believe that those candidates must exemplify Common Sense, Conservative and Caring Principles in their campaigns and governance for the people of Texas and of the United States.

As a husband, father, small businessman and proud American, he knows that America is great because America is good. He’s running for the U.S. Senate not to be something, but to do something. He wants to use his business experience to do something to create economic jobs and growth. And he wants to provide real leadership for our country in these challenging times.

In the Navy he realized that his actions had consequences. After two years in the Navy he married his wife Noreen and decided to go to college. He entered seminary and then to law school where he learned that he had the privilege to serve people. Through Law School he helped charities and worked on many service projects. Law he says "is where I can help people with what can seem to be scary and complicated problems."
He says on his website that "I’ve learned to endure, not to give up, and to stand up for what is right, which is not always popular. My experiences developed character and taught me valuable lessons: integrity—doing what is right even when I’m not being watched, humility—always trying to get closer to the truth, compassion—caring for people who are hurting, and perseverance—the 'just keep going' attitude." It is these lessons that he says he will apply if elected to represent the people of District 52 as their representative.

Scott WalkerScott Walker was born on November 2, 1967 to Llew and Pat Walker in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He spent his early years in Plainfield, Iowa, where Llew served as pastor of a local church.
The Walker family knew nearly all of Plainfield’s roughly 450 residents. In 1976, a patriotic young Scott, determined to purchase a flag for Plainfield City Hall, went door to door soliciting donations from his neighbors.
His family moved to Delavan, Wisconsin in 1977 when Scott’s father was called to pastor a church there. Scott was involved in sports, band, church, and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, remaining active in the Boy Scouts of America to this day.
While in high school, Scott was selected to attend the American Legion’s Badger Boys State Program in Ripon. There, he was selected as one of two representatives to Boys Nation in Washington, D.C. Both of these programs teach young men that the American form of government is stronger and more vital in today’s world of struggle and change than ever before. The experience opened Scott’s eyes to public service.
In 1986, Scott moved to Milwaukee to attend Marquette University. While still in school, he worked for IBM before leaving to work full-time in financial development for the American Red Cross.
Scott was elected to the State Assembly in 1993. While there, he chaired several committees and authored important pieces of legislation that include: Truth-in-Sentencing, photo identification requirements to vote, and the elimination of the statute of limitations in sexual assault cases. He was re-elected four times. In 2002, Scott was elected County Executive to reform the scandal-ridden county government. His election followed a recall campaign against then-Milwaukee County Executive Tom Ament as a result of a county pension scandal. The media exposed a county plan that gave away millions in retirement benefit to county workers.The scandal rocked county government to its core and left taxpayers on the hook for millions in pension obligations
For the next seven years, Scott faithfully kept his promise to spend taxpayer money as if it were his own. He cut the county’s debt by 10%, reduced the county workforce by more than 20% and authored seven consecutive budgets without increasing the property tax levy from the previous year. Despite failing national and state economies, Milwaukee County recorded a budget surplus in 2008. Re-elected in April of 2008, Scott received nearly 60% of the vote in a county that favored President Obama by 67%.
Scott and his wife, Tonette, live in Wauwatosa with their sons, Matt and Alex. They are active in the community and their church. Matt and Alex play sports, are active within their church, and are involved in Boy Scouts.
