Pearland City Councilmember Layni Cade
"Voting for the candidate with the strongest character, that you know will represent you honestly and ethically is vital. That is why my husband Vince and I are voting for Jeff Barry in the State Representative for HD29 race. I worked with Jeff on Pearland City Council and I know him to be kind, hard-working and honest. I also believe living in the district where you run is important (it’s also Texas law), and Jeff lives in HD 29—something one of his opponents can't claim). Jeff has served this community for almost 20 years. He has invested time in building relationships across HD 29 because he truly cares about homeowners and business owners. He is receptive, engaged and committed to governing well. He will handle citizen issues confidently, and he’s someone we deeply trust. We are honored to support and endorse Jeff in the HD 29 election."

"As a grandmother to three precious girls, Christian conservative, long time House District 29 resident and involved community member, I enthusiastically endorse Jeff Barry for State Representative. Jeff has demonstrated impeccable character and integrity as a school board member and city council member. He demonstrates ability to collaborate with others and he is running on his own strengths and merit rather than the coat tail of others. Jeff will make a fantastic State Rep and I am proud of him for stepping up to represent our community."

"I am proud to endorse Jeff Barry for State Rep in House District 29. My late husband Virgil Gant, namesake of the Pearland ISD administration building, served our public school district for 18 years all while I served the children of the greater Brazoria County area as a pediatrician for 30 years. Even in retirement, I am committed to the future success of our region. Jeff’s commitment to public schools, his steadfast character and his relentless integrity make me honored to support him in this important position."

"I fully endorse Jeff Barry for the Texas State House of Representatives. Jeff is a good listener and always ready to take a position of leadership to represent his constituents.
As an elected representative myself on the Galveston County Consolidated Drainage Board I reached out to Jeff while he was on Pearland City Council for a flooding relief project we were exploring to further mitigate area flooding issues. He promptly organized his side so we could do the work of the people.
That is the kind of responsiveness we need from our representatives!"

From his service on Pearland Economic Development Corporation Board, Pearland ISD School Board and Pearland City Council, he makes decisions in the best interest of his constituents based on these values. He is fully invested in HD 29 as a home owner and business owner that cares what decisions are made in Austin and how it impacts HD 29. Help me support Jeff Barry in his quest to become the next State Representative for HD29."

Dr. Hugh Patton
" I've known Jeff Barry for fifteen years, and we've served together on the Pearland Economic Development Corporation and the Pearland Lions Club. Jeff and I have collaborated on various community events for the Pearland Neighborhood Center. During Hurricane Harvey's aftermath, Jeff was there, standing shoulder to shoulder with neighbors and friends, helping others. He was also a founding member of the Pearland Enterprise Business Events, supporting small businesses and nonprofits. With Jeff's experience and conservative values on the school board, I'm proud to say my children received an outstanding education in PISD. I firmly believe Jeff possesses the qualities needed to be our next State Representative."

Constable Buck Stevens
"With our good friend and statesman, Ed Thompson stepping down, the next person we elect for house district 29 will have a direct impact on our lives.
After much thought, research and consideration, I have made my choice to endorse Jeff Barry.
Three of the citizens in the race I know personally and consider all of them friends, however, I needed to make the best selection that I think does the most good.
I see that being in Austin requires a person to be a consensus builder, not a "lone ranger". Someone that can stand against the "norm" if needed. Someone that has a working knowledge of many forms of government and the ability to dig deep into budgets and wasted spending a long with solutions, not more questions.
I think Jeff has these qualities and more and I fully support Jeff Barry as our next State Representative for district 29."
