==='''ISSUES'''===

A true conservative for the Texas 25th U.S. Congressional District, Donna Campbell has a strong stance on the issues important to Texans


====Veterans and Active Military====
Those who have donned a military uniform to serve our country deserve the very best in healthcare and other service benefits; and those now serving at home and abroad deserve the very best in equipment, pay and care. 

====Seniors====
Our state’s and nation’s senior citizens gave America their very best over their working years of life and deserve the very best in from this country’s leaders in terms of assuring that the golden years are in fact golden.

====Energy Independence====
With our state’s and nation’s economies still struggling, it just makes good fiscal sense to capitalize on U.S.-based energy sources. And it makes good environmental sense to ensure that alternative fuel sources—and power generation—are an integral part of the plan.

====Entitlements====
Sometimes good people get into bad situations and need and deserve the help of their fellow countrymen and women. But it’s time to rein in big government giveaway spending on those that can do for themselves. Our current leaders in Washington are doing little more than buying votes—with your tax dollars!

====Environment====
God gave us the earth, making us stewards of this good planet for now and for our grandchildren. Those in positions of governance need to strike a balance between keeping our air, water and lands safe, and over-regulating  to the point where businesses can’t survive.

====Economy====
The way to national financial solvency—and ultimately, back to prosperity for all—will not be found by simply printing money. Real spending controls must be put in place in Washington to curb the waste, fraud and abuse now rampant in federal government.

====Education====
Today’s leader’s came from yesterday’s schools. Comforting? Probably not so much. So guess where tomorrow’s leaders are going to come from? That’s right, today’s schools; many of which are hurtling past mediocre into unworkable. It’s time to hold teachers, administrators—and parents—jointly accountable for the success of our young learners.

====Health Care====
I have firsthand knowledge of the precarious nature of our country’s health care system as a physician. The current health care business model simply does not work; and it won’t work until individuals are empowered, encouraged and enabled to take direct control and responsibility for their own health.

====Pro-life====  
God bestowed the gift of life upon us, and this gift begins at conception. Abortion is not a choice to be made as if at the market choosing snack food. In fact it’s not a choice at all—it’s the ending of a life.

====Pro Adult Stem Cell====
Adult stem cells have proven enormously helpful in the advancement of medical science and the discovery of cures. However, the use of embryonic stem cells violates the tenets of God’s gift of life

====Immigration/Border Policy====
If our nation’s immigration laws were properly enforced, the issue wouldn’t be an issue. Let’s treat those here legally as the rightful citizens they are, and let’s move those here illegally off of our nation’s taxpayer-funded services and back across the border.

====Constitution====
The Constitution states the rules of the game for ensuring this great republic of ours stays strong and stays independent. These rules are not for changing by judges, nor are they open to alternative interpretation by judicial activists. The power to legislate rests firmly with Congress, not the bench.

====Ally Support====
If we do not stand strong with our allies we will find ourselves standing alone in this world of unpredictable governmental regimes and evil radical groups.

====GOD====
I believe in God and Jesus Christ.  As our Pledge of Allegiance affirms, we are ONE nation under God. Our currency is even graced with the assurance that, as a nation, “in God we trust.” Blessed is the nation who knows God, but ours is foundering as some seek to dilute, or even destroy God’s place in our hearts and our country.  It’s time we stand together and put God back on the minds of our nation’s leaders and prayer back in our schools.

====Climate Change====
You might remember what this section would have been called a few years ago: “Global Warming.” Problem with that was, there is not global warming. Temperatures are fluctuating up and down in natural cycles now just as they have for centuries. Let’s not fix what’s not broke by enacting new regulations, like the “Cap and Trade”

===BIOGRAPHY- Donna Campbell===

Donna Sue Burrows was born Sept. 17, 1954 in San Diego, Ca. while her father was in the Navy.  At the age of 6 months the family moved to Oklahoma where she grew up. Her dad became a member of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, while her mother worked in factories and later as a unit secretary in hospitals. Late in life her mother received her GED and went on to become an RN. 

Self motivated and disciplined, Donna began working at the age of 13 and continued all through High School. She worked hard and put herself through college, graduate school and medical school where she gained AOA status as a result of her academic achievements.  After her B.S. in Nursing from Central State University, she moved from Oklahoma to Texas.  She completed a Masters in Nursing Degree from TWU at Dallas and then worked for over a decade as a full time nurse in critical and intensive care facilities. 

Inwardly driven to upgrade her capacities for serving the sick and the elderly, Donna decided to pursue a career in medicine and in 1989 and she graduated with honors from Texas Tech.   She chose a rigorous surgical internship in Dallas, which she says was one of the greatest times in her life.  She then moved to Houston, for a residency in Ophthalmology at UTHSC and earned the distinction of Outstanding Resident, and was given the Morton award. During this period she was also an active contributor to a variety of medical journals and publications and distinguished herself as a top presenter at conferences.

Donna didn’t confine her drive and ambition to personal achievement. She is a woman of faith and has cheerfully volunteered her talent, serving in Nicaragua as a student and then as an ophthalmologist, performing eye surgeries yearly, in Ghana, West Africa from 1993-2000.  She gained a sense of international purpose while restoring lost vision to hundreds of individuals. “The people would say thank you to God first and then thank me.  This recognition of where the blessing originated just invigorated my desire to help the people of West Africa” 

She is boarded in Ophthalmology by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and boarded in Emergency Medicine by the ABPS.  “I chose Emergency Medicine as a full time practice and ophthalmology as an avenue to help the blind or of low vision internationally.”  Currently she is the Medical Director of two Emergency Medicine Rooms. “The emergency room is both an exciting and tough experience.  But it’s one that prepares me to move right into politics because the work is all about providing quality service for people, just doing it in a split second,” says Dr. Campbell with a smile, and she adds “I do the reading long before I am in an emergency situation!”  
 
Dr. Campbell did have the opportunity to serve as Precinct Secretary, Precinct 62 Lubbock, Texas (1985 – 1986) and going on to become a Full delegate for Texas (1986 Texas State Republican Convention)

She first met Stan Campbell in Israel at a Tony Evans Tour of the Holy Lands.  The following year they met again and later married. They have three beautiful grown up daughters and one young daughter named Anna Beth.  Her parents are deceased. She has three younger brothers who presently live in Ok, TX and Ms.

Exceptional, outstanding, honorable, persevering, determined, dutiful and utterly reliable are all words that accurately describe her character as she has demonstrated through her work and actions over time. Texas is fortunate to have such a citizen freely willing to take on so much for so many.
