Texas Physicians Endorse Rep. Thomas Latham
for Reelection to Texas House District 101
AUSTIN – TEXPAC, the political advocacy arm of the
Texas Medical Association (TMA), has endorsed Rep. Thomas
Latham for reelection to Texas House District 101. TMA is
Texas’ largest physician organization.
“Representative Latham is steadfast in his support
of the issues that matter most to Texas physicians and their
patients,” said Manuel Acosta, MD, chair of the TMA
Political Action Committee (TEXPAC) Board of Directors. “His
leadership ensures that hard-earned tax dollars are spent
appropriately and wisely.”
He clearly understands that taxpayers pay a huge price tag
when uninsured patients, especially children, cannot get medical
care in a doctor’s office. Without ongoing and preventive
health care, uninsured children end up in expensive emergency
rooms with even more severe and costly illnesses.
“We look forward to working with Representative Latham
again,” added Dr. Acosta.
TEXPAC speaks on behalf of more than 43,000 Texas physicians
and medical students, and nearly 8,000 alliance members. Organized
in 1962, TEXPAC is one of the oldest political action committees
in Texas. TEXPAC also is one of the largest bipartisan PACs
in the state and ranks first in size among other state medical
association PACs.
