"Lampson is running for the 22nd Congressional District with one priority in mind--to serve the people who live, work, and raise their families here. Nick knows congressional service is not about national politics, media pundits and power plays. He will always put his constituents first. In 2002, the Houston Chronicle conducted a survey that showed Nick Lampson had taken on more constituent cases than any other area Congressman. Nick's outstanding record of successfully handling problems for his constituents was well-known in his district and was a major focus of his time in Congress. Nick consistently voted for deficit reducing alternatives to our federal budget. And, in 2004, when Tom DeLay was twisting arms for an effort to raise our national debt limit to more than $8 trillion, Nick Lampson stood up to DeLay and his gang of wasteful spenders. Nick voted against increasing our debt because borrowing from our children and grandchildren is not sound budget policy. He will continue his fight to turn the tide on the wasteful spending that's been taking place under Tom DeLay. "
