David Dewhurst on Crime

 


Mandatory 25-year-to-life sentence for first-time child rape

David has worked with countless volunteers and activists across Texas in passing legislation that keeps our children safe and strengthens Texas families. Dewhurst will continue to fight for pro-family legislation in the US Senate.

Death is appropriate punishment for repeat child molesters

Angry politicians vowed to keep writing laws that condemn child rapists to death, despite a Supreme Court decision saying such punishment is unconstitutional. In Texas, Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said Wednesday that most Texans believe the death penalty is "an appropriate form of punishment for repeat child molesters. Our top priority remains protecting our most precious resource -- our children."
