58%-42%. During the first hundred days of being a Representative, Steve fought to reduce

the size and scope of the federal government, starting with Congress itself. His plan was

Drier/Stockman package of opening day reforms; Steve saved taxpayers millions of dollars

each year by dramatically cutting down the hierarchy of the House by eliminating three full

house committees, 23 subcommittees and cutting committee staff by one-third. Steve

worked tirelessly to protect the US Constitution. In less than 100 days, he pushed welfare

reform legislation, a $500-per-child tax credit for families, a balanced budget amendment

and regulatory relief legislation. He was named The Taxpayers Best Friend and was one

of the most ardent defenders of Constitution in Congress. Steve worked hard to represent

the immediate concerns of families and employers in his Texas district. He authored the

bills to give federal tax credits to anyone who had children in private school or were home

educated, which later become a popular alterative to vouchers. Representative Stockman as

well as Paul Kramer authored Megans Law, the well-known law protects children from

pedophiles by allowing notification of communities when a sex offender moves into their

area. Congressman Stockman claims to vote tax cuts, his own salary, and the number of

congressional committees. Stockman never asked for nor received a federal earmark to

benefit his district. Instead, he believed the best earmark was no earmark. (2)

After leaving Congress in 1997, Steve acquired nearly 36 securities-insurance

licenses, later became president of a fiber optics company, and served as vice president of a

Texas national bank. Steve served as a national and international political consultant for a

variety of government and political entities. Congressman Stockman also aided third world

countries by shipping non-profit medicine and medical equipment. Congressman Stockman
