2016

Munoz's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Creating More Jobs: Sergio has worked hard to spark economic development and jobs creation through legislative and state agency policies that result in the recruitment of new, and expansion of existing, large and small businesses in South Texas through state tax incentives, and with improvements of the state highway and roadway systems.

Improving Education: Sergio has fought hard to support increased state funding to local school districts, and oppose measures that impose unfunded mandates on local public school districts.

Strong Families:

  • Sergio will continue to promote reforms in the state’s legal and tax systems that will help homeowners better protect their most valuable investment, while making it more affordable for Texans to buy and hold on to their homes.
  • Sergio opposes a tax on professional services, such as commissions paid to a real estate broker. Such a tax would also increase the cost of home ownership. Imposing a tax on any professional service amounts to a state personal income tax and I am opposed to a state personal income tax. Sergio would oppose an increase in the existing state sales tax.

Helping Small Business: Sergio will continue to work hard to pass legislation that promotes the development of small businesses in the Valley. He want to see more resources and get more help for our small businesses so that they can continue to be the backbone of our local economy.

Improving Health Care:

  • Sergio wants health care options that are more affordable and accessible; for individuals, families and the elderly. They took care of us, now it’s our turn to take care of them.
  • Sergio will work with the legislature to tap into two existing state programs – the Texas Enterprise Fund and the Texas Emerging Technology Fund – to help pay for the construction of a Veterans Affairs Hospital in the Valley.[9]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
