Vikki Goodwin
WebsiteBallotpedia- Key message 1
Texas has a great economy built upon a well-educated workforce. To maintain the momentum and prosperity, our public schools require investment and support. Teachers deserve to be well paid and class sizes should be small enough so teachers can give students the attention they deserve. …
- Key message 2
Health care should be affordable and accessible. Women should have the right to make their own personal, private healthcare decisions. We must address the issue of skyrocketing health insurance costs, unaffordable prescriptions, surprise billing, and bankruptcy due to medical emergencies. …
- Key message 3
We must work toward affordability, good job opportunities and living wages. The American Dream of owning a home should be within reach of hardworking individuals and families. It all starts with a solid public education system giving our young people the critical thinking skills needed for the jobs of today. …
- Cannabis/THC Regulation
I believe Texas needs a sensible regulatory framework for THC rather than outright prohibition. I opposed the ban because regulation can prioritize public safety through age restrictions, testing standards, and proper labeling requirements. …
- Child Welfare and Safety
Drowning remains the leading cause of death for young children—yet it's entirely preventable. After a Texas family lost their daughter Cati in a tragic drowning accident, Vikki worked directly with them to develop life-saving legislation that now protects children across the state.
- Cati’s Act
Vikki successfully passed this law in June 2023, requiring child care providers to ensure children who can't swim wear life jackets at pools when parents have indicated their child needs protection.
- Childcare
Texas families are struggling with a childcare crisis that's keeping parents out of the workforce while centers close and costs soar. Vikki is tackling this crisis head-on with practical solutions that work for Texas families. …
- Creating New Revenue Sources (HB 4598)
Vikki is championing legislation that establishes a modest employer contribution to fund childcare programs, creating a sustainable solution to address center closures and reduce waitlists.

Anthony Cristo
WebsiteBallotpedia- Key message 1
We must fund all public schools properly. Texas currently ranks 29th out of 50 in state primary and secondary education. It comes as no surprise because the base education allotment per child in Texas is only $6,215 per average attending student, and has been that way since 2019. …
- Key message 2
Since our state is currently operating at a $24 billion budget surplus, there is no reason why we cannot fund education properly. There won't even be a need to raise taxes nor to cut spending.
- Key message 3
Ending the War on Marijuana. Current lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, has made it his life's mission to make all marijuana use illegal in Texas. Meanwhile, over a decades of data has shown that legalizing marijuana did not increase usage but actually reduced the crime statistics surrounding it. …
Kevin McCormick
WebsiteBallotpedia- Key message 1
We need to make major improvements in urban public transportation and alternative transportation infrastructure. I propose allocating 10% of the state transportation budget to increasing the city bus fleets and to creating cycle tracks in Texas cities.
- Key message 2
We need to make significant investments in the Texas rural economy. These investments should be designed to increase the incomes and money circulation in rural areas. …
- Key message 3
I propose that we reform the electoral process in Texas. Our democracy needs to be strengthened and improved. I propose that we amend the Texas constitution to require that electoral districts be drawn in a way that prevents gerrymandering. …
- Transportation Proposal
We in Texas have a transportation system that is designed for motor vehicles. In practical terms, a Texan must maintain a motor vehicle in order to drive to the places they need to go. Our transportation system is very expensive, inefficient, unsafe, and increasingly uneconomic.
- We need alternatives
To serve the public interest the transportation system must consist of a variety of modes — motor vehicles, bus systems, bicycle tracks, pedestrian walkways, and rail systems. Each of these modes competes for the same rights of way and access space, and the same transportation infrastructure dollars. …
- Proposal to improve urban transportation
I propose that we allocate 10% of state transportation spending to increasing the urban bus fleet with the objective of providing commuter transit and high frequency bus routes, and also to building safe bicycle tracks with practical, useful routes.
- Campaign statement
An effective way to reduce rush hour traffic congestion is to use a commuter bus network, with frequent feeder buses connecting neighborhoods and transit centers where the commuter buses will take passengers to employment centers. …
- Campaign statement
[It has been argued that roads are congested because they are free to use — no access charge. This argument might support tolls, congestion fees, and raising fuel taxes. I do not believe the public would support these ideas.]
