My Priorities

My call to public service came from God’s plan for me and my family. It was God’s calling that led me to run for office and it is His call once again that brings me back.  Since my first election, I have become a respected voice for prosperity, limited government, and innovative policy solutions in Austin. Many of my legislative achievements have received national acclaim and several are now national model policies. With God’s blessing, I have the strength and vision to continue to serve our community, and I humbly ask for your continued support!

During the 88th Legislative Session, Dr. Oliverson was selected to be the Vice-Chair of the House Republican Caucus. He also serves on the House Public Health committee, the Healthcare Reform select-committee, and as the Chair of the Insurance committee.

In his second session, he was named by Texas Monthly as one of the “best legislators of the 86th session”. Dr. Oliverson has authored legislation on a diverse set of issues including: healthcare, education, local government, religious freedoms, the 2nd amendment and protecting the unborn.

He is also active with the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, where he is the Chair of the National Legislative Council.

Very disappointed in this procurement, especially the decision to remove three children’s hospital plans which have always been top performers. I will be pursuing aggressive changes to the procurement process next session.
