Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Faith in Texas website.

The Faith in Texas Fund (FIT) is a political action committee and research organization that will help address some major issues facing our state. During my 2006 campaign for governor, I began a discussion of “faith in politics” that sought to highlight my own beliefs of how faith should influence public service for the benefit of all our citizens. The focus was not on religion or its organizations, but on how best we can apply the common tenets of our varying faiths into leadership that governs with compassion to the poorest in our society, and places the health, education and welfare of our children above all else.

FIT will seek out and support candidates for office who view public service as an honor and responsibility to serve the needs of ordinary Texans. A major goal of FIT is to push for comprehensive ethics and campaign finance reform; it would do wonders for liberating our elected leaders to act on behalf of those most in need.

The unwavering support shown by you and 1.3 million others for my candidacy and the issues brought forth in the campaign are the reasons I believe now more than ever that “Faith In Texas” is needed. If you sign up, you can receive additional information regarding the activities of FIT and my weekly column about politics and government. You can also get in touch with us by emailing or calling Sarah Hudson at FIT headquarters with any questions you might have. The number is (512) 480-3240.

Thank you for your support in the past and I hope your support and encouragement will continue in the future as I embark on this new adventure with The Faith In Texas Fund.

Sincerely,

Chris Bell
Faith in Texas
