The Taylor Daily Press has covered the views of the candidates in the HD 52 race. Regarding transportation,
“[Republican Bryan] Daniel said he is opposed to the Trans-Texas Corridor being built in Williamson County. ‘I don’t think it’s right for Williamson County,’ he said.”
“[Democrat Diana] Maldonado is against the Trans-Texas Corridor and is for mass transit.”
“[Libertarian Lillian] Simmons views the Trans-Texas Corridor as a way for the government to import vast amounts of goods from China via Mexico. ‘I’m opposed to it,’ she said. ‘It’s the largest land grab in the history of the U.S.’”
About TxDOT in general,
“Maldonado said additional funding for TxDOT may be appropriate, but the department needs further oversight.”
“Simmons said giving TxDOT any additional funding would be a bad move. ‘It looks like they’re using a lot of money for promoting the Trans-Texas Corridor,’ she said.”
“To Daniel, new leadership at the Texas Department of Transportation encourages him to believe that the embattled agency may be back on track, he said. He supports a suggested $1.5 billion cash infusion for the department, provided that the new leadership shows that it can spend taxpayers’ money wisely.”

Notice Daniel said he against the TTC being built in Williamson County. Not that he's against the TTC altogether.
