August 9, 2018 Dallas Business Community Support for John Turner for House District 114 We write to express our support for John Turner for Texas House District 114 in North Dallas. We believe John’s background, experience, and positions on the issues make him the right choice in the race. We encourage others in the Dallas business community to support him. John is a partner at the firm of Haynes and Boone, LLP, where he has represented businesses in many industries. He has been active in programs sponsored by the Dallas Regional Chamber, including its “Leadership Dallas” program and its Education and Workforce Council. John’s wife, Jenia, is a law professor at SMU. The Turners have two young sons and are members of Highland Park United Methodist Church. John also comes from a family dedicated to public service: his father was a respected Congressman and state legislator, and his mother served as a school board trustee. John recognizes the need for better state support for public education. John’s experience representing 88 Texas school districts (including many in the DFW area) in the Texas school funding litigation has prepared him to play a constructive role in fixing our state’s school funding system. John understands that good public schools are vital to our ability to build a strong twenty-first century workforce and prepare the next generation of Texas leaders. John’s knowledge of the issues and his common-sense approach have already earned him key bipartisan endorsements in this race: all four DISD school trustees whose districts overlap this district, the Texas Association of REALTORS, teacher and education groups, and firefighter and police organizations, to name a few. This election is critical to the future of Dallas and the future of Texas. We encourage you to support John’s campaign financially, through your conversations with friends and neighbors, and with your vote. Sincerely, Tom Luce Erle Nye Ron Steinhart J.
