COLUMBUS DOCTOR HOPES TO CHALLENGE DOGGETT
July 9, 2009 - Dr. Donna Campbell, a Colorado County
physician, is seeking the Republican nod to go up against
U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett in Congressional District 25 in
2010
Addressing the July meeting of Townhall Conservatives
in Austin, Campbell said she wants to go to Congress
because, “things have gotten turned around.” Under our
Constitution, she said, the people have freedom and the
government is limited. But now, the people are losing their
freedoms while the government is getting bigger and
moving to control our “money, kids, education and health
care.”
She said she wants to “get the government off our backs”
and promote traditional American values including free
enterprise and a strong defense – and 'to preserve our
republic.”
Campbell is an emergency room physician and ophthalmologist as well as medical director at two hospitals,
Columbus Community Hospital in Columbis, and Matagorda General in Bay City. This is her first attempt to
gain elective office.
The government’s main responsibility, she said, is to keep us safe and she noted that Pres. George W. Bush
accomplished that. By contrast, she said, Pres. Obama has disdain for the military and displays a lack of
urgency in ensuring our national security.

members of the audience and took questions.
Campbell called Federal spending “out
of control” and said the nation cannot
“spend its way out of debt.”
In addition, she noted, Obama is “poised
to take the best health care system in the
world and put it under his thumb.”
Responding to questions from the
audience, Campbell indicated that she
favors drilling for domestic sources of
oil to end our dependence on oil from
nations hostile to the U.S.
She also expressed support for the Fair
Tax, a proposal that would replace the
income tax and the payroll tax with a
sales tax and a rebate program to protect
low income taxpayers from paying tax
on necessities.
