GOP Candidate Speaks
To Government Class
Republican candidate for the
63rd District of the Texas House
of Representatives, John R.
Anderson, met with Govern-
ment 231-1 Monday, presenting
a self-biography and answering
class questions.
Anderson was born in
Midland. He graduated from
high school at Lovington, N.M.
After graduation, he entered
Oklahoma University and
received a BA degree in history
and sociology. Anderson con-
sidered entering law school, but
decided to return to his ranch.
"We need to send a good
representative to Austin to
represent this rural area," he
stated. "Since the Warren Court
ruling, the larger cities have
several representatives. If we
do not have good representation,
these people will put our tax
money to use in their cities."
The 63rd District candidateis
against amnesty for draft
evaders. "If a crisis was to
come up in America, you would
see a lot of people leaving,
thinking they could come back
when it was over."
Anderson expressed what
should be done with the surplus
money in Texas. "With this
money build-up, we should be
able to make a selective tax-cut.
Also, the money can be put into
our school systems. Borden and
Scurry counties are not in need
of this, but there are other coun-
ties in the district which are,"
said Anderson.
He is against the equal rights
amendment. With this amend-
ment, women would lose their
rights in the courts. At present
the courts are in favor of the
woman. Also, women could be
drafted and would have to sleep
in barracks with men. They
would really be losing their
rights."
Rich Anderson has served as
president of the Borden County
School Board for the past six
and one-half years. He is past
president of the Board of
Trustees of Medical Center
Memorial Hospital and serves
on the board of the Dora
Roberts Rehabilitation Center
and the Security State Bank in
Big Spring.
He is also a committee
member in the Texas and South
West Cattle Growers Associa-
tion.
Anderson has resided in
Borden County for the past 22
years, where he is a rancher. He
is married and has four
children, two in college and two
who attend Borden County High
School.
The 63rd District consists of
Borden, Coke, Dawson,
Howard, Scurry, and Sterling
counties.
In 1972, Anderson was
defeated for the post by the in-
cumbent, Renal B. Rosson, by
some 1100 votes.
Nov. 5 he will be facing Mike
Ezzell of Snyder for the seat.
TAKES STAND — Mike Ezzell, Democratic nominee to the 63rd District of the Texas
House of Representatives, responds to a student's question.
Ezzell Visits WTC
Mike Ezzell, Democratic
nominee for the 63rd District of
the Texas House of Represen-
tatives, visited two government
classes at WTC last week, ex-
plaining a little about himself
and answering questions
students had concerning the
election.
The Snyder Public Schools
counselor related three reasons
for seeking the post. Ezzell is
concerned with education.
*
"I would favor an increase in
taxes to bring quality education
to Texas," he stated. Texas is
presently ranked about 37th on
the scale of quality education of
the 50 states.
Ezzell added that another
reason was the qualities he
possesses. He is 30 and in-
terested in "improving things in
Austin."
He can relate to different
aspects of our region. "Having
been involved in these fields, I
understand the variety of
oriented people in this area,
labor, agriculture and
business," Ezzell explained.
The 63rd District candidate
moved to Snyder in 1967. He was
a classroom teacher for two
years, and has since been an
elementary counselor.
He is married and has two
children, both in pre-school.
When asked the difference
between him and his opponent,
Rich Anderson, he replied, "I
would be able to turn loose
more."
The 63rd District Represen-
tative will be decided Nov. 5 in
the general election.
