| Transcript | I'm taking the people to Congress! Mickey Leland. 18th Congressional District Political advertisement paid for by friends of Mickey Leland. Why Texas Women Want John Hill For Governor How you vote will make a difference. Women care about improvement, not just issues. Every governmental issue touches the women of Texas. But there are a few special issues that need a woman's touch, a woman's sensitivity to the needs of women. The issues are day care, employment, utilities, nursing homes, retirement, insurance, credit practices and parks for our children. But women in Texas have little or no representation of their point of view on Boards and Commissions which control these issues. The Governor appoints that representation. And that's why we want John Hill for Governor. When John Hill became Attorney General of Texas, there were thirteen women lawyers working in his office. Today, with a staff of 165, there are forty-three women lawyers. More than a three hundred percent increase — that's improvement. Who cares about appointments? You Do. We know where power comes from. And we know who makes several thousand appointments during a term of office. The Governor. We know John Hill's record and we know Dolph's. That's why we're women on the Hill side. Dolph and the dead man. As our governor, Dolph Briscoe appointed a dead man to the State Health Advisory Council. Dolph and the dead man, that's government in Texas. We pay enough for it. We might as well get serious about it. We have never before been together behind a common cause. We are black, brown, red and white and come from all religions. We are together for Texas. And we are together for John Hill. WOMEN ON THE HILL SIDE Paid lor by John Mill Campaign Fund, Lowcfl lelxrm.mn. Treasurer, l«3S Brown Building. Austin. Texas 7H701. Telephone (512) 47H-(AHl).
