Judy Travis—Our Representative For Reducing Government Spending

Did you know that since 2007, Delaware has consistently ranked in the top four highest per capita spenders in the country? Delaware even beats out states like New York, California, and Massachusetts for government spending. Judy understands that times are tough, and while our government’s budget has doubled over the last decade (now $8 billion a year), our families’ incomes haven’t.

She knows our families can’t afford the kind of lavish state spending that began with Governor Minner and which has continued through to the present day. As our state representative, Judy will reign in government spending and cut wasteful programs that drain valuable resources for projects where they are truly needed.

Strengthening Our Economy

Judy Travis knows that small businesses are the engines that drive our economy and provide jobs and services for our community. For twenty years, Judy and her husband, Dr. Arthur Travis, have run their successful chiropractic practice together in north Wilmington where Judy works as Office Manager handling all financial matters for their busy office.

Judy knows the pressures of meeting a payroll and balancing a budget while raising a family. She also knows that higher taxes in tough economic times hurt middle-class and lower-income families as well as pensioners living on fixed incomes. As our State Representative, Judy Travis will take these concerns to heart and promote pro-growth policies in Dover.

Renewing Our Schools

As a parent and school volunteer, Judy has a long record of involvement in no less than five public schools in the Brandywine Hundred area. In addition, each of her three children attended Brandywine High School where her husband Arthur also graduated (class of ’68). Judy believes in local control of neighborhood schools, increased parental involvement, and lower student to teacher ratios. Pro-child and pro-teacher, Judy will work to make Brandywine Hundred’s public schools top in the country again.

Reforming State Government

Judy firmly believes that our government works for us, not the other way around. Our country and our state face real problems right now—everything from high unemployment to out of control government spending. But Delaware’s state legislature continues to raise taxes and spend recklessly. In 2009 alone, our state legislature voted to raise taxes twenty times.

Judy’s will be a pragmatic and passionate voice in Dover to advocate for laws that will relieve the financial pressures and burdens on our families and businesses, not add to them. Judy Travis brings compassionate care with twenty years of community experience to Dover. Who better than Judy Travis to represent our families and neighbors?
