Upon her announcement, Candy said, “I care deeply about our state and nation, and I’m willing to stand up and fight for the future of my kids and grandkids. We must make the hard decisions to ensure that Texas enjoys a prosperous future. I will be guided by my core beliefs of limited government, dedication to fiscal responsibility, and an unshakable commitment to protect the unborn.” She continued, “Texans deserve property tax relief, quality education, limited regulations which ensure a strong economy, a secure border, and protection of our second amendment freedoms and religious liberties. I am excited about the opportunity to serve as a conservative voice for these principles, and honored to have such strong, distinguished support.” Candy Noble is a twenty five year resident of Collin County who has spent decades working to promote conservative solutions for our community.
