It was November 3rd, 1793 in Wythe County, Virginia when Stephen Fuller Austin, son of Moses Austin, known as "The Father of Texas" was born. Austin attended school in Connecticut as a child and graduated from Transylvania University in Kentucky. In 1813, Austin was elected to the Legislature of Missouri and was reelected to that same position for three years until he moved to Arkansas. He was chosen as judge of the judicial district of Arkansas. He planned to go to Louisiana to study law, but decided to join his father in his journey.

The two candidates running for the office of Texas Governor are Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott and Democrat State Senator Windy Davis. I will begin with the bio of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. Greg Abbott was born in 1957 in Wichita Falls, Texas. He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981. He went on to earn his law degree from Vanderbilt University Law School in Nashville, Tennessee in 1984. Also, after graduating law school in 1984, Abbott was in an accident that made him a paraplegic. He was appointed to the Texas Supreme Court by then Texas Governor George W. Bush in 1996. Also in 1996 and again in 1998, Abbott was elected to Texas’ highest civil court where he served a two year and six year term. In 2001, Abbott went into a private practice and also was a professor at the University of Texas School of Law. Also in 2001, Greg Abbott resigned from the Texas Supreme Court to pursue the office of attorney general for the election year of 2002. Abbott won the election of 2002 and

The elections for state representative in 2002 in the hometown of former President Lyndon Baines Johnson in Texas was disputed by two white young candidates that had different perspectives and way of doing politics in the district 45. They were the incumbent republican Rick Green and his adversary that was the freshman democratic Patrick Rose. The republic Rick Green is a charismatic conservative Christian and talented speaker who was not born as Texan but "Rick Green’s family moved to Wylie, Texas, when he was ten years old, so he is not a native Texan but did grow up in the state" ( P.O.V.). He is an attorney and graduated in Law from the University of Texas Law School. He also is a businessman and "He founded a talent agency and video production company with TV sales of over $500,000. He also started and ran a nutritional supplement company, building and training a national sales force with over 2,500 representatives to achieve nearly $3,000,000 in retail sales" ( P.O.V.). By that time Green was very confident in winning the elections since his district 45 was solidly republican and he was a prominent conservative who had already experienced a seat in the House of representative.

Perry seems to be almost childlike, with family issues, and no remorse. He is a follower and not a leader. We know this because he always has someone like Willie-Jay or Dick to tell him what he’s supposed to

2009). This marked the rebirth of the Republican Party as it went ahead to field George W Bush to become president of the country, and get more Senate seats in the Texas house. In this year, the republicans won all the seats across the state. This marked the return of republicans as a dominant party in the politics of Texas.

Scott Walker, current governor of Wisconsin, was born on November 2, 1967 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He lived in Plainfield, Iowa for many of his younger years. He and his family moved to Delavan, Wisconsin in 1977, due to a change in his father’s occupation. Scott was involved in many activities as a child, teen and young adult; including sports, band, church, and boy scouts (which he is still involved with currently). Walker had always wanted to be involved in politics since the start of his high school career, but what really go the ball rolling was when he was selected to attend Badger Boys state, and then was selected to be one of two representatives to go to Boys Nation in DC. Following this experience, Walker moved to Milwaukee in 1986 to attend college at Marquette University ( which he didn’t graduated from), and worked for IBM before becoming a full time American Red Cross financial developer.

His campaign focused on four themes: welfare reform, tort reform, crime reduction and educational improvement. He won re-election in 1998, becoming the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to two consecutive four-year terms.

Stephen Fuller Austin,son of Moses and Maria (Brown) Austin, was born at the lead mines in southwestern Virginia on November 3, 1793. In 1798, at age 4, his family moved to other lead mines in southeastern Missouri. There Austin grew to the age of ten, when his father then sent him to Bacon Academy school in Connecticut, from which he went to Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky for two years. After graduating in 1810, he then stayed with Joseph H. Hawkins and began studying to be a lawyer.

John Richard Kasich was born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania on May 13, 1952 to parents John and Anne Kasich. John’s parents were children of immigrants from Czech (father) and Croatian descent (mother) and his father worked as a postal worker in their local blue collar community for over 30 years. John was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but reexamined his religious beliefs after his parents were killed in an auto accident in 1987. He currently attends a non-denominational Evangelical Christian Church. John is married to Karen, his wife of 19 years, and together they have twin teenage daughters, Emma and Reese, who are sixteen.

Later he served as an F-102 fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. He received his Master of Business Administration from Harvard in 1975. George Walker Bush then worked with his father’s Presidential Campaign. Just like his father, he also had an interest in baseball, which eventually led him to buy the Texas Rangers Baseball franchise with a group of friends in 1989. He married Laura Welch and had twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna. On November 8, 1994 he was elected Governor of Texas with 53.5% of the votes. He became the first governor of Texas to be elected to two consecutive terms. After two terms as governor, he became the 43rd President (“The White House” Incorrectly cited).

The culmination of my high school career has positively resulted in me becoming immensely educated in government and politics than I would have ever imagined. I have been a part of a club known as Youth In Government, dedicated to civic literacy and social responsibility. Being involved in this, I created a piece of legislation that exempted a sales tax (one that Rick Scott actually passed himself earlier this year), learned the importance of educating oneself, and engaged in open dialogue and logical debate with people who had both different and similar beliefs than I. As an advocate for learning, I have grown to see the importance of compromise and discussion, especially between both sides. At this time and age, we are succumbed to the polarization
