Jane Nelson is a former business woman and educator who serves as a Texas state senator for district 12. Before serving on the senate she served two terms on the State Board of Education (senate.gov). This history of business and education service shows in her commitment to Denton and Tarrant County. Her biggest issues are health, economic advancement, and improvement in education to her district. She is also very passionate about issues involving “abused children, seniors, cancer survivors, domestic abuse victims and people with disabilities” (Meet Jane). These are issues that transcend basic district needs. Instead, these are issues that affect every citizen (if not you directly then someone you know and care about). Senator Nelson is a republican …show more content…

I did not vote for Jane Nelson previously, but I do plan on voting for her in 2020 because of her devotion to her district’s education system, business vitality, and overall health of her constituents.

In the last 14 years, Senator Nelson has proven herself well aware of the issues facing her district 12 constituents, big or small. For you to understand this I will tell you a bit about myself, my town, and the issue I care about most. I live in Flower Mound. We're a relatively safe community with not much to fear. However, in 2014 residents started to fear they were more at risk of cancer because of an environmental report that came out involving fracking and the carcinogenic chemicals that accompany this sort of drilling (Scott, Brian). Rumors started to fly and eventually the residents demanded answers. The Texas Department of State Health Services were called in to investigate. After analyzing cancer registries and local data they found no increase spike in cancer for our area for all cancers, except for breast cancer. Breast cancer cases are 22% higher than …show more content…

However, it does implement common sense laws meant to protect citizens safety and privacy. I live in an area of suburbs near lake Lewisville. It isn’t an uncommon sight to see drones flying over the water, rooftops, or street intersections. As time passes, and technology continues to advance, drone activity is only going to grow. This increased air traffic brings along a number of problems such as hazard to small commercial planes and even emergency aircraft. Like earlier this year, in February, when a drone came close to crashing into a Denton careflite helicopter enroute to pick up a patient (Dallas News). A close call could have turned into tragedy, but this can be prevented with meaningful laws restricting improper use of unmanned aircraft. Luckily, legislation was introduced to restrict the use of drones over certain facilities and sports venues. HB 1424 is purposed to create a criminal offense for unruly drone behavior over prohibited areas. Jane Nelson voted in favor of this bill. If I was in her shoes I believe I would vote the same. This bill isn’t over-reaching. Instead, it is meant to place regulations and a criminal punishment to deter drone activity that could promote tragedy like the case in Denton. I find it respectable that Jane Nelson, 65 years old (wiki), finds the time to become educated on new technology and the possible negative effects it

    Evidence: Drones have many beneficial uses, including in search-and-rescue missions, scientific research, mapping, and more. But deployed without proper regulation, drones equipped with facial recognition software, infrared technology, and speakers capable of monitoring personal conversations would cause unprecedented invasions of our privacy rights. Interconnected drones could enable mass tracking of vehi­cles and people in wide areas. Tiny drones could go completely unnoticed while peering into the window of a home or place of worship.

  • Why Would Jane Addams Have A Little Help To Become A Part Of A Higher Class

    1117 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 1880s, a new generation of social workers, led by Jane Addams, argued that providing education and opportunity was more important than preaching morality. In 1889, Addams and a friend established Hull House in Chicago, where they lived and worked among the poor immigrants they aimed to help. Addams set up a kindergarten, a day nursery, and an employment bureau for the poor. On the other hand, Sumner is arguing (logically) that social classes will always exist, but that some men only need a little help to become a part of a higher class. He argues that “Instead of endeavoring to redistribute the acquisitions which have been made between the existing classes, our aim should be to increase, multiply, and extend the chances. The greater

    There are many different reasons that woman maybe at a higher risk for breast cancer than other woman. Family history is risk factors that increase a woman’s likelihood of getting breast cancer. What this means is if a woman is in a family where this disease is common among female or even males they are at a higher risk for being diagnosed with breast cancer than someone who is in a family where breast cancer is not common. If the relative that has this disease is one that is very close meaning they are either a sister, mother, or daughter the likelihood that said person will also contract the disease is then doubled. This is mainly due to the fact that in close relations you are able to inherit the genes BrcA-1 or BrcA-2, these genes are mutation genes that play a role in controlling the growth of cancer cell. Only a small portion of women inherit this gene about 1 in 500 to be exact, however when they do inherit this gene they have a 80% chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime. This gene causes woman to develop cancer at a younger age usually before the time they hit menopause. Also, women with this gene have a greater risk of developing cancer in both breasts which is called bilateral breasts cancer. This is due to the fact that once the cancer develops in one breast the risk for developing it in the other breast increases. (“Breast Cancer”) "About 5 to 10% of breast cancer is hereditary, passed from one generation to the next via a variety of mutated genes". (Port 95-105) Lastly,

  • Fourth Amendment: Safeguard or Violation?

    The US military has used drones in the war against terrorist for years now and the use of drones for domestic use has become a popular dispute. A lot of Americans consider flying drones over private property violates the fourth Amendment and the only time a drone should be used is if the drone operator has a warrant and probable cause. It is considered trespassing by some if a warrant is not obtained. In 2013, 43 states debated 96 different drone regulating bills but only 8 of them passed. Along with legislatures, the FAA has also had trouble regulating drone flight. The government has manipulated the rules of privacy for years. In two separate but similar court cases, the police department used aerial surveillance to get Intel on marijuana farms. The owners of the farms declared that the method was unconstitutional and took it to court.

When other nations see this particular country is using some type of technology to improve their military system then they would want part of it as well. The drone practice can cause to escalate if other countries adopt to this new technology for their own reason of protection. There will be no turning back because the government of that country would take advantage of these drones to use it towards the citizens instead of using for “terrorist”. The use of these drones is definitely immoral and unethical but some may argue that the of drones as protection against “terrorist” even though as we can see it kills innocent people, creates more terrorists, causes psychological disorders, and violates privacy.
