Amin Salahuddin completedBallotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Salahuddin's responses.
Expand all |Collapse all
- In 2014, I founded, and remain involved with, a non-profit healthcare start-up that has launched over a dozen free medical clinics and has served thousands of uninsured and underinsured, funded with private donations. Others talk, I take action.
- As a small business owner, I understand the economic challenges facing our business community. I've visited with state representatives in Austin, urging them to support local jobs and employers, and oppose outsourcing. I have served on the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, working to bring jobs and economic growth to the area. My community involvement includes membership in the Rotary Club, which reflects my values.
- As a representative, I will strongly oppose all attempts to defund the police. It is a dangerous idea my opponent has supported. We must keep our neighborhoods safe and secure, and well- trained, fully-funded police forces that respond quickly to emergencies in sufficient numbers are a key part of ensuring that safety and security. I have served on the Round Rock Police Foundation's board of directors to help find positive ways for police to better serve our community.

Listening to community needs and finding innovative ways to serve has always been Amin’s passion, vision, and mission.
Amin will bring his wide variety of experiences and history of community involvement to the State House:•Founder of Eixsys (2010 - Present), a software development company. •Founder of Eixsys Healthcare System (2014 -Present) – a Primary Healthcare for the uninsured. Through this organization, Amin has founded nine clinics and served thousands of uninsured.•Board of Director (2016 – 2021) for Round Rock Chamber of Commerce – Local and regional economic development.•Board of Director (2018 – 2021) for Round Rock Police Foundation, Police & Community relationship development.•Founder of Diversity Impact (2021) – an organization, providing social welfare & voice for minorities.
Amin is known in the community for having a kind heart, always willing to serve his neighbors. He wants to continue that servant leadership in Austin as a state representative. Bringing this experience to the legislature will lead to constructive policies and building a better, more innovative state government.
- Healthcare: Rather than waiting for a healthcare solution from Austin, I started a privately funded non-profit in 2014 to serve the uninsured for their primary and preventative healthcare needs.
- Public Safety: I support safe neighborhoods, and oppose any effort towards defunding the police.
- Education: I support an educational system focused on the basics; one that's open to full parental participation.
