"I am proud to partner with TEXPAC to support Steve Allison in his reelection to House District 121," said Speaker Dade Phelan. "As an attorney, as a legislator, and through civic engagement, Steve has a strong record of championing health care efforts that impact the medical industry. His experience adds tremendous value to the Public Health Committee in the Texas House, of which he is a member. It is imperative that he returns to the Texas House to continue the work for all Texans."

"Representative Allison is a true statesman, and he embodies what a champion of medicine is in the legislature. He fights for physicians to be able to care for their patients to ensure they receive the best access to care. Representative Allison’s commitment to the physicians in House District 121 is inspiring, and TEXPAC is honored to support him in his reelection to the Texas House."
