Why Is Democrat
Steve Mostyn’s Millions
and His Minion Mark McCaig
Trial Lawyer
Steve
Mostyn
Steve Mostyn is a Houston personal injury trial lawyer specializing
in hurricane lawsuits. He has become extremely rich off the losses
of others in the wake of damaging storms. Mostyn is also the
largest donor to liberal Democrats in Texas. He supports President
Barack Obama and frequently hosts fundraising events in his
Houston home for liberal candidates and causes – one of which
featured Nancy Pelosi and another of which raised money for the
Texas Senate’s most liberal member, Wendy Davis of Fort Worth.
Mostyn has now employed a former SREC member, Mark McCaig,
to create a series of front groups with conservative-sounding
names such as “Texans for Individual Rights” and “Conservative
Voters of Texas.” These groups have two goals: to prop up the few
Republican candidates who are friendly to the personal injury trial
lawyer agenda, and to attack TLR.
Yes, Steve Mostyn, who funded more than ten million dollars
in just the 2010 election to attack Governor Rick Perry and
other conservative Republican candidates, is now trying to
infiltrate Republican primaries and conventions. Mostyn is using
a defeated, former SREC member, Mark McCaig, to do it. McCaig,
who has been denounced by Young Conservatives of Texas and
other conservative groups, is not only Mostyn’s Trojan Horse in
Republican circles, he is an employee at The Mostyn Law Firm.

Pol. Adv. Paid for by Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC, Lupe Fraga, Treasurer
Due to your efforts, the Republican Party dominates Texas
public policy. Now, personal injury trial lawyers, the largest
funders of liberal Democrats in Texas, must try to infiltrate
the Republican Party. In fact, they are right here at this
convention. Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC is committed
to exposing this dishonest scheme.
If You Can’t Beat’em, Join’em
The Evidence
Mostyn and a few other personal injury trial lawyers provide over
80% of the funding to Democrats in Texas. The trial lawyers have
suffered defeat after defeat at the ballot box and in the Legislature
since 1994, the year that TLR started engaging in elections and
legislative advocacy. Since then, Texas has progressed from being
the “lawsuit capital of the world” to becoming a model for a fair,
balanced and predictable civil justice system. That’s good for
Texas, but it’s bad for plaintiff trial lawyers.
Just this year, Mostyn and his cronies engaged in three critical
State Senate races in the Republican primary:
Having failed to elect liberal Democrats time and again, Mostyn is
now playing in Republican primaries.
His only hope
is that you
don’t notice.
■■ Kelly
Hancock vs. Todd Smith in SD 9. TLR PAC supported
Hancock. The trial lawyers contributed $529,276 to Smith,
who is himself a personal injury trial lawyer. Hancock defeated
Smith by 65% to 35%.
■■ Larry Taylor
vs. Dave Norman in SD 11. TLR PAC supported
Taylor. The trial lawyers spent $1,034,418 against Taylor
because Taylor, as Co-chairman of an important legislative
oversight committee, exposed the excessive fees paid to Mostyn
by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Larry Taylor
won with 58% of the vote.
■■ Elizabeth Ames
Jones, Donna Campbell and
Jeff Wentworth in SD 25. TLR PAC supported Jones.
The trial lawyers contributed $713,254 to Wentworth.
Wentworth has held public office for thirty years. He is radically
pro-choice and solidly aligned with the personal injury trial
lawyers. He received only 35.77% of the vote and is now in
a run-off with Donna Campbell, who is an emergency room
physician, a principled conservative and someone who
understands the importance of a fair and balanced civil justice
system to job creation and access to health care.
The
Mostyn
Agenda
The next time you see material attacking TLR, please
consider the source of the attack. Look behind the
conservative-sounding name, and ask who is funding
the attack. Remember that Steve Mostyn and his plaintiff
trial lawyer cronies are the biggest contributors to liberal
Democrats in Texas and nationwide.
Also, please consider these facts:
✓✓Since 1994, TLR PAC has contributed $21 million to Republican
candidates for state offices. Fighting the super-wealthy Democrat
personal injury trial lawyers is not easy – and not inexpensive!
✓✓In the general election of 2010, control of the Texas House
of Representatives was at stake. TLR PAC supported 27
Republicans in the most hotly contested races, 26 of whom
won election. TLR PAC contributed a total of $4,049,305 to
Republican House candidates in 2010. Republicans increased
their numbers in the Texas House from a bare-majority of 76
Members to a super-majority of 101 Members.
✓✓TLR PAC also supported every Republican candidate for
statewide office in the 2010 general election. In contrast, Steve
Mostyn spent four million dollars on outrageous advertising
disparaging Governor Perry as “a coward.”
Steve Mostyn and the personal injury trial lawyers promote state policies to expand lawsuits and increase litigation.
The litigious society they promote, and under which Texas once suffered, depresses economic activity, kills jobs,
undermines respect for the law, and reduces access to health care.
Mostyn is trying to utilize “Republican” Mark McCaig to disguise his liberal agenda. McCaig has been defeated
by Republicans and has disgraced himself by selling his name to Democrat trial lawyers. Say No to Mostyn and
McCaig’s phony “conservative” attacks on TLR.
