Education
Every child should be provided the opportunity to succeed – not just a select few. I will fight to preserve our public education system and to ensure that it is well-funded.
Women’s Rights
I am proud to call myself a feminist. Women have the right to control their own bodies, and thus I am pro-choice. I will also fight for equal pay for equal work in addition to paid pregnancy & family leave in all employment contracts.
Jobs
Texans should earn livable wages in a safe work environment.
Healthcare
Health care is a fundamental human right for all Texans and not a privilege reserved for those able to afford it. I believe we need to invest in prevention initiatives, expand Medicaid, oppose efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act, and boost mental health & substance use disorder services.
Voting
Our right to vote is sacred. I oppose any unnecessary barriers to voting including Texas’ disappointing Voter ID law. I support the creation of an independent redistricting commission. I will fight to protect the federal Voting Rights Act.
Climate Change
Climate change is a real and serious threat that is causing drought, crop failure, heat waves, more torrential storms, and extreme climate events. This is why I will stand with the scientific community in seeking solutions to cut pollution in our state. I support our state’s investment in clean energy like solar and wind.
