The Issues

Hard-working Texans deserve fair pay, safe workplaces, and a real voice on the job.

• Raise wages so full-time work means a decent living.

• Require companies receiving state incentives to guarantee fair pay, safe conditions, and local hiring.

• Strengthen unions and collective bargaining protections.

• Expand workforce training and apprenticeship programs through partnerships with community colleges, trade schools, and veterans’ organizations.

• Crack down on wage theft and hold corporations accountable when they cheat workers out of what they’ve earned.

Texans built this energy state with our own hands. We should be leading the next chapter, responsibly, proudly, and for the people, not the powerful.

• Support an all-of-the-above energy approach that keeps Texans working in oil, gas, wind, solar, LNG, and new technologies.

• Protect local resources: require data centers and energy giants to invest in the water, roads, and power they use.

• Keep profits in Texas by encouraging community-owned renewable projects and local reinvestment.

• Strengthen the grid to prevent another winter disaster and ensure affordable, reliable power for families.

• End the corporate giveaways that let billion-dollar energy companies pay less in taxes than Texas teachers.

Strong schools are the foundation of opportunity and freedom. School vouchers are a scam that take away your money from your child’s school.

As your representative, I will fight for students and teachers to ensure they have every dime they deserve.

My priority will be to:

• Fully fund public schools and reduce class sizes so teachers can teach, not test.

• End STAAR over-testing; trust educators to do their jobs.

• Teach honest history that reflects every Texan’s story.

• Provide school-based mental-health counselors in every district.

• Pay teachers and staff wages that match the importance of their work.

We can’t build strong communities by locking people up for profit.

• Legalize and regulate cannabis for medical and adult use. This will create jobs, new tax revenue, and a safer market.

• Use that revenue to fund schools, healthcare, and veteran services.

• Clear non-violent cannabis convictions and help Texans rebuild their lives.

• End for-profit prisons and shift to rehabilitation and treatment.

• Invest in mental-health care and reentry programs that actually reduce crime.

Healthcare isn’t a luxury, it’s a promise every Texan deserves. When my husband, a Killeen firefighter, was diagnosed with cancer, we had to raise money for his chemo even though he had insurance. No family should go through that.

• Expand Medicaid to cover more than a million uninsured Texans.

• Require insurance plans to cover cancer treatment without loopholes.

• Cap out-of-pocket costs for lifesaving care.

• Keep rural hospitals open and bring federal healthcare dollars home.

• Treat mental health as essential healthcare.

Taking care of those who served is how we honor their sacrifice.

• Fully fund local programs that support veterans, childcare, and housing.

• Expand job pathways for veterans in energy, education, and public service.

• Prioritize veteran-owned small businesses.

Big corporations and the wealthy have rigged the system; working Texans are carrying the load.

Texans work hard and pay their share — it’s time the powerful did too.

• Close corporate loopholes and end sweetheart tax deals that let billion-dollar companies dodge local taxes.

• Cap property taxes for working families and seniors, not for corporate developers.

• Ensure that every dollar of public money benefits the public good: schools, roads, and healthcare. Not corporate handouts.
