“After reviewing the track records, the philosophies, and the commitment to conservative Republican principles, I’ve decided to cast my vote for Tan Parker. He’ll go to Austin and fight for the principles of free enterprise, limited government, and represent our values of faith and family,” Armey said in making the endorsement.
Having been involved in GOP politics longer than he's been old enough to vote, Parker's ties to the party could give him an early advantage with the Republican base in one of the most conservative counties in the state.
Tan Parker, 34, a Flower Mound businessman, said he had a “common-sense” approach to government, and stressed the importance of fiscal responsibility and family values.
