William "Bill" Clevenger

declared

My family and I moved to Texas with our youngest son in 2012. We moved to the City of Montgomery in 2013. We are actively involved in our Community. We help when and where we can for local Churches, Schools and other Civic Organizations. I have been a Lion Club member since the age of 18. I have worked for and grown multi million dollar companies in the Houston area. My wife and I are local business owners in Texas and Pennslvania. We will continue to be active in our Community. We like to travel, watch our 15 year old play baseball and I am a former driver in a division of NASCAR years ago. 

Questionnaire

General

This is a Republican primary race.  Do you promise, if elected, to abide by the RPT platform? And if not, please enumerate what problems you have.

I will follow the platform but also push to be more conserative on topics like border security and voter integrity to name a few. 

What best describes your political ideology most(circle only one).   
1.        Republican                     
2.        Grassroots                     
3.        Conservative
4.        Tea Party

3

There's discussion about making major revisions to the RPT Platform. Please describe the nature of any major changes you support.

I believe the current platform has been fought for and crafted over many years with Conserative values and principles. If there are changes that need to be made, we should look at adding more Christian values to it. 

Should the county GOP chair be involved with fundraising? Why or why not?

Yes, if it is for the growth and promotion of the Party and it's chosen candidates. 

Do you like the Steering Committee style of leadership currently in place or that of just a county chairman?

I believe the current system we have in place is the correct system and does not need to be changed.

Do you think the 'Republican' brand should be used by PACs in their names that may deceive voters? Why or why not?"

I believe a lot of deception has been going on to deceive voters. I believe the National Republican Party along with the State Party should vet these so called PACs and if they find out their name/brand/image are being used in a deceptive manner, action should be taken immediately against those groups/PACs.

Do you beieve that the county chair/precinct chairs should actively participate in at least one committee?

Yes

Are you willing to put in the time necessary to attend CEC meetings, additional committee meetings, training sessions, blockwalking, etc?

Yes I am

How do you believe precinct chairs should be involved in elections? (election judge, clerk, none?)

If they cannot be, at least be apart of the selection process so the Chair knows who is in those positions that they are out in their precinct representing. 

What's your position on Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan?

He is a poor excuse for a Speaker and an embarrassment to our Party and State of Texas.

Budget

Would you support legislative action to establish a salary framework (possibly related to the Gov. salary) for all taxpayer funded employees with a stipulation that elected officials be required to get voter approval to exceed that framework for their own salaries?

Yes absolutely it makes sense. There needs to be checks and balances. No elected official should be able to set their own pay scales. On top of that, it should be based on population size and other criteria.

Other civil liberty

Do you support or oppose federal funding for Planned Parenthood and other agencies that perform abortions, both in the U.S. and abroad (even if they use money derived from other sources)?

Absolutely Not! No!

Education

Do you support or oppose social programs in our schools (like C-Scope, Common Core, CRT, International Baccalaureate, SEL, etc.)? Why or why not?

No. We need to be teach our students about our Country's history and not a made up one filled with cancel culture. America First, History as it happened, good, bad or indifferent. We learn from our past to build a stronger and brighter future. 

Ethics

Is there anything in your background of an embarrassing nature that should be explained before your election? Arrests/Convictions? Bankruptcys?

No

At what point should the "right to life" or "personhood" be granted to new human beings (e.g., at conception, sign of heartbeat, 3 months of pregnancy, birth, 5 days old, etc)? What action, if any, will you take to reflect this in law?

Right to life means just that. My stance is it should be at the time of conception. I believe we should ban abortions.

Should the county GOP chair be involved in any other political organizations, including PAC's, while serving a term as the chairman? Why or why not?

No. They are the Chairman of the Party and they should solely focus on making the party of the people and working with his or her team in promoting the party in a positive manner. 

Immigration

What, if anything, should be done to protect our borders from illegal immigration?

Fund and Build The Wall. Deport those who have entered illegally. Cut out these false promises and all of the free taxpayer dollars given to them.

Transportation

Do you support or oppose the referendum passed by both the MoCo GOP Executive Committee and SREC to allow voters, at the statewide level, to decide whether or not they want a particular toll road?

Yes. It is their money.

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

Being a Conserative to me means have strong Christian Values where there is one God, who has Blessed my family and I in being born in the greatest Nation on the planet. The United States has a Constitution which is the framework for which this Nation was built upon. We need to protect those laws by educating our citizens about why the government was formed, and how it was intended to operate. Over the years, the Federal and State Governments have taken away so many of our personal liberties and it will continue unless we hold onto our Conserative values and principles and fight back by electing like minded candidates who will fight for us and our Nation's future.
