Texas Politics Semester Project
Before developing a proper political campaign, it is important to understand and know
about the specific political values and perceptions. Based on my Pew Political Typology test, the
assignment shows that I am a stressed sideliner. In addition, I have used the same three issues
that I identified after conducting A detailed geographical and demographic analysis of Texas
District 12. Some of my values align with the Republican Party's ideas, but I have conducted a
comprehensive analysis to show which of the values align with my political ideas.
Part III:
Your Party, Your Politics and Your Platform.
The Pew Political Typology
I took a Pew Political Typology test, and my results reveal that I am a “stressed
sideliner.” The results from the test can be seen in Figure 1. My political activity can be
explained as a blend of liberal and conservative ideas. I am usually liberal about economic
problems, while I may be conservative on some social issues.

As a sideline, my most significant strength is my unique blend of liberal and conservative
views that can enable me to balance my governance approach. As a candidate for the Texas state
Senate, being a stressed sideliner can position me as someone who understands my
constituency's unique and diverse perspectives. My ability to bridge political divides and
effectively parallelise practical solutions over rigid party lines can resonate with my voters, who
feel disconnected from the two major parties in the USA. This characteristic allows me to engage
with our more comprehensive range of constituents, fostering collaboration and unity in
addressing complicated issues facing Texas Senate District 12. In addition, my mix of views can
be an acid within the state Senate to promote an inclusive and cooperative legislative
environment that prioritises different needs of the community and seeks a bipartisan solution for
the broader well-being of all residents.

Three issues stand to develop.
After analysing my stressed sideliner typology and the analysis of the district, my
platform would prioritise the same issues that I have recognised in previous parts of the
assessment because they resonate with my constituents' diverse perspectives (Political Typology
Quiz, 2023). My priority is to develop a strong economic agenda central to my platform. I want
to propose policies that advocate stimulating job creation, a collaboration between local
businesses and educational institutions, and vocational training. The employment rate in Texas
District 12 is 84% in the private sector, and there are multiple industries, including professional
services, healthcare, and educational manufacturing. It is imperative to introduce policies for
upskilling the local population. This will not only address the economic concerns of the district,
but it will also align with my stress sideliner's inclination toward liberal economic views. I want
economic liberation among all the races and groups living in my district to promote harmony.
I also want to promote comprehensive healthcare reform, considering 64.3% of residents
living in Texas District 12 are within the working age category from 18 to 64. There should be a
proper healthcare structure for the increasing ageing population of the district. Appropriate
initiatives for improving access to affordable healthcare, facilitating a partnership between
healthcare providers, and supporting mental health services are essential to my platform. This
approach recognises the significance of balanced social policy while addressing the issue of the
ageing population in the district. Lastly, I will be committed to improving suburban
transportation because many cities in Texas District 12, including Flower Mound, Tarrant, and
Dallas, California sector and improving transportation within these cities is extremely important.
By advocating for these measures, I want to address the practical need for my constitution while
highlighting my dedication to improving their daily lives.
