David Wallace Croft
for US House of Representatives 
District 26

 
 
 
 

David Wallace Croft was born in 1968 to a military family with roots in Texas.  After graduating from high school in Abilene in 1986, he joined the Air Force, receiving an engineering degree from the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado and serving as a Lieutenant in California.  Mr. Croft left the service in 1993 to accept a graduate school fellowship to the California Institute of Technology where he received a Masters degree in engineering.  After working for many years as a computer programmer in West Virginia and California, Mr. Croft returned to Texas in 2000 to be near his extended family in the Dallas area.  Mr. Croft and his wife, Shannon, have three children, Ada, Benjamin, and Thomas.

His belief that the only legitimate role of government is to protect the rights of individuals from infringement by others -- but not from themselves -- has led him to take vocal stances in front of the media in opposition to paternalistic legislation such as anti-smoking regulations for privately owned restaurants and government mandated video cameras in convenience stores.  While conservative with regard to economic freedoms and the need for a strong national defense, Mr. Croft is liberal when it comes to the right of competent consenting adults to control their individual persons and property, so long as they do not violate the equal rights of others.  As such, Mr. Croft is an advocate of the following initiatives:

* Marijuana Legalization for Adults
* School Vouchers
* Social Security Privatization
* Increased Pay for Military and Police
* Flat Tax of 10%

Mr. Croft is a dedicated member of the Libertarian Party, previously serving as a State Secretary, County Chair, and House of Delegates candidate in West Virginia and currently as a Member of State and County
Executive Committees in Texas.
