Pape has been Bastrop County Judge for 10 years. As such, LIV knows him well.

He has pledged his support for legislation to achieve an audit and cutback of the Vista Ridge/San Antone Hose water pipeline.

It wasn’t easy for the candidates. They had to fill out our extensive 17 question survey. The survey is for candidates and voters.
Our survey is located here, so you and any Texas voter can take it too.
We also reviewed their contribution and expenditure reports. And we looked at their website and social media pages. We also attended other organizations' forums to assess their consistency. And we gave additional credit to candidates focused on the issues of greatest impact to their district.
The Gallup poll has tracked party identification since 2004. Self-declared independents (no party) remain the plurality of voters at about 40%. LIV's survey is about what unites voters across the partisan divide, including independent Texans.
