1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,640 How are you doing? 2 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,240 My name is Dale Frey, and I'm running to be 3 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,400 your next Texas State Senator for District 30, which is 4 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,480 a big massive area that stretches from Denton County all 5 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,000 the way up to the North Texas border to Wichita 6 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,920 Falls and almost down to Fort Worth. 7 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,760 Big area, but I look forward to fighting the good 8 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,160 fight. 9 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,240 Anyways, my wife and I moved back down here to 10 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,000 Texas to be with our father as he battled stage 11 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,920 three cancer in the later years of his life. 12 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,600 One of the many reasons I really want to fix 13 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,280 the broken health care system down here. 14 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,720 I have seen how a friend of mine who owns 15 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,440 our own LALC has happened to drop her Medicaid recipients 16 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,360 since she says the money is just not there anymore. 17 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,120 The rates have not been adjusted since long before the 18 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,840 pandemic and inflation's killing around the sector. 19 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,360 I know how we have people who are poor but 20 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,680 not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid Medicaid. 21 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,080 This is something that really affects people's lives. 22 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,240 I've seen it with my father-in-law, especially as he was 23 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,120 a retired public school teacher, and they don't make Jack 24 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,720 Squat in retirement. 25 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,800 They don't make jack squat before retirement. 26 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,400 Vicky, a friend of mine told me how much money 27 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:48,720 she made. 28 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,720 It's a public school teacher before she retired, and I 29 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,560 said, My God, Vicky, that's the same amount of money 30 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,480 I made my first job out of college. 31 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,600 Guys, this is insane. 32 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,400 Our local ISDs are not supported at all. 33 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,720 We used to give more direct funding to our ISDs 34 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,280 from the legislature a decade ago, but now it depends 35 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680 more on our property taxes, which is a lopsided way 36 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,880 of funding our schools. 37 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,640 We need to fund our public schools, guys. 38 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,040 And the school voucher scam that's being pushed by our 39 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,360 governor right now, if it passes, will be the final 40 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,080 nail in the coffin for our ISDs. 41 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,400 Look, so far the state house has been rejecting the 42 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,360 school voucher scam. 43 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Thank God. 44 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,440 But I don't know how long they can hold on 45 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,000 to it for. 46 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,480 And so far, right now, it's the state senate is 47 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,040 that that is initiating the legislation for the school voucher 48 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,520 scam. 49 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160 So we need Texas State Senators to be on our 50 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,240 side and against the scam. 51 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,960 And I'm running to be your next Texas State Senator. 52 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,160 So please vote for me, Dale Frey this coming November 53 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,880 election. 54 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,960 So I will fight for our school vouchers and I 55 00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,720 will fight for our health care and so many more 56 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,360 other things. 57 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,680 Please, please, please come out and vote. 58 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,760 Vo gote all the way down the ballot and make 59 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,400 sure your neighbors vote, make sure your friends vote. 60 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,160 Understand that this is not a deep red state. 61 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,840 This is a non-voting state where only half of those 62 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,280 who were even registered to vote even show. up in 63 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,080 the voting booth 64 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,360 So, if anything at all, your number one duty, the 65 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840 number one way that you can help, is voter outreach 66 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,400 and making sure that your friends and your neighbors have 67 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,600 a plan to come out to vote. 68 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,200 And if they ever need help to know where to 69 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,120 go, if they ever need help to know who's on 70 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,920 the ballot, by all means make sure they know when 71 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:18,920 and where and how to vote. 72 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:21,320 That is how we are going to flip Texas Blue. 73 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,680 Again, my name is Dale Freire. 74 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,760 You can learn more about
