Staff Report on February 18, 2016
Candidate questionnaires for Hays County Constable, Pct. 2: Steve Avalos

Steve Avalos

 

1. Why are you running for office? 

I have lived in Precinct 2 for over 15 years. I am very vested in my community and feel that it is time a change.  Precinct 2 is growing and the people need the Constables Office to grow with the community. I will bring the Precinct 2 Constables Office into the 21st century and make sure my deputies are properly trained and have a working relationship with the surrounding agencies.  By doing this the Constables Office will work in a proficient, professional manner for all the people of Precinct 2. 

 

2. What are your thoughts on open carry?

I feel that every law-abiding citizen should have the right to bare and keep arms. 

3. Why do you think you would make a good constable, if elected? 

I feel that my years of experience in law enforcement give me a firm foundation in running a strong Constables Office. My family and I have deep roots in Precinct 2 and I look forward to providing professional and courteous service to the people of the Precinct. 

 

4. Star Wars, Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica?

Star Wars, May the force be with you!
