The issue closest to my heart is public schools. Investment in public schools is investment in resilient communities and a more prosperous future for us all. My concern for the future of our Texas public schools is the main reason I am running.
- Key message 2
Most of us are workers. We work better when life necessities like food, education, health care, childcare, housing and transportation are under control. Policies that keep these basics within reach for more families help workers stay on the path to the American Dream. That means better communities for all of us.
- Key message 3
Our current hyperpolarized political discourse is over-heated and dangerous. We can stand up for what we think is right without demonizing, belittling or shaming people who disagree with us. As a legislator, I will lead the way in showing us how to work together.
