Pat Curry's billboard claiming "Pat Curry will stop inflation" is an outrageous insult to our intelligence. This wild assertion isn’t just misleading—it highlights his complete misunderstanding of the role of the Texas legislature. Inflation isn’t something a state representative can do anything about. Inflation is driven by complex factors like monetary policy, supply chain disruptions, global economic trends, and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve. Even Congress has limited tools to control it, yet here he is, telling you that somehow he can magically “stop inflation” if he is elected to the Texas House.
Curry’s flashy sign, complete with a cowboy hat, highlights the fact that he doesn’t know anything about the role of a Texas House member. It’s clear he believes you will buy into this lie without questioning its truth. By trivializing a serious topic like inflation, he shows he’s more interested in gimmicks than solutions. Instead of offering meaningful policies on issues that Texas legislators actually deal with, he’s just tossing around buzzwords to grab votes.
We deserve better than this. As your candidate for the Texas House of Representatives, I’m committed to honesty and accountability. I have three college degrees, all in politics and law, and I have spent the last forty years actually representing people, which makes me the most qualified candidate in this race. We need to fight for sensible economic policies like better wages for our teachers and school employees, listening to our three local hospitals who are pleading for the federal dollars expanding Medicaid would provide, lowering property taxes, and pushing for affordable housing in our community. Together, we can stop this cycle of lies and elect an experienced candidate who is ready on day one to give our community the representation it deserves.
Thank you for standing with me.
Sincerely,
Erin Shank
Candidate for Texas House of Representatives, HD 56
