Former student Leighton Schubert (right), Class of 2005, was recently sworn in
as the representative of District 13.
Q&A: From classroom to the Capitol
Grade Mock, The Battalion news
reporter, sat down with Leighton
Schubert, Class of 2005, District 13
state representative and former Texas
A&M student. Schubert took over after
a special election and was sworn into
office March 3.
THE BATTALION: How did your time
at A&M help to shape who you are
today?
SCHUBERT: I'm a third generation
Aggie, so my Aggie roots go way back.
I'm a member of the Class of 2005; I
was a communication major. The thing
about A&M is that it's one big family.
We all support each other, we're all
behind each other and what you learn
at A&M are things like traditions and
honesty and integrity, and that carries
over to every part of life. A&M is a
great place for learning those values
and to keep learning those values. The
training I had at A&M, the education at
A&M, the friends that I've made there
have helped me throughout my entire
life and continues to help now.
THE BATTALION: Why did you decide
to run for state representative??
SCHUBERT: People started coming
to me and saying, "You should run for
this," and I never really had thought
about it before. I've been involved
with government and public service
before, but I never thought about being
a candidate. Everyone kept asking me
about it and I just realized that, you
know, I was born and raised in District
13 — District 13 is my home and no
one could represent District 13 like I
could, so that's why we decided to put
our name on the ballot and run for the
position.
THE BATTALION: What kind of
political experience do you have?
SCHUBERT: I have worked at every
level of government, federal down to
county. I've worked for the U.S. State
Department in Washington and then
they sent me to Ecuador and I worked
there in the U.S. embassy. I've been
a law clerk for the attorney general of
Texas. I've worked for Harris County
after law school at their government
affairs office, so we drafted legislation
and worked through that process.
So I've worked at every level of
government.
THE BATTALION: What are some of
the top issues facing the district?
SCHUBERT: District 13 is a rural
district, we have rural Texas issues.
Land property rights are important to
me as a landowner is the district, so
protecting private property rights is
very important. We have to address
our water needs in Texas, not just here
in District 13, but across the state.
That's really felt here in a rural district
like District 13, so we're always trying
to find ways to increase our water
resources and protect our water
rights. Those are some of the big
issues and across Texas we have to
start focusing on our infrastructure,
highway infrastructure, because we
need to start investing in the future
of Texas and the way we need to do
that is look at how we can do better
about spending our government
tax resources and improving our
infrastructure.
THE BATTALION: Have you had the
chance to sit in a session yet?
SCHUBERT: We're in session right
now, we were elected in a special
election and the session began in the
early part of January and of course I
wasn't sworn in until this past Tuesday
so there's been about a month and
a half of the session that's gone on
before we were sworn in. We were
sworn in on Tuesday at noon and about
38 seconds later they said 'go sit at
your desk, we have business to do.' So
we got sworn in and immediately went
and sat at our desk on the floor and
started doing things. It's great, we've
got our staff together, our office is up,
they've been wonderful helping us
transition into this, but we are coming
about a month and a half late.
THE BATTALION: What is it
like being on the floor as a
representative?
SCHUBERT: What I always talked
about in the campaign, and this is my
personal philosophy of government,
as representative it is my job to be
the voice of the people of the district
and that's really my sole job. It was a
very big honor for me to be elected,
but I tell you what, when I walked
out onto the floor of the house, the
responsibility of the office just really
takes you back for a second and
you realize what an honor it is to be
able to represent the interest of the
people of District 13 on the floor. That
is something that I will never forget
because that's my personal philosophy,
we're there to represent the people
and further the interest of the people
of District 13. It's been the biggest
honor I've ever had in my life, that's for
sure.
