Issues

Strong schools create strong communities.

As the husband of a former public school teacher and father to a young daughter, I understand the daily pressures facing our educators and families. Our schools have been asked to do more with less for far too long.

Immigrants strengthen our economy and our communities.

Immigrant workers are essential to Texas’ growth, contributing billions to our economy and powering industries that keep the state moving forward.

Families should not be forced to choose between today’s bills and tomorrow’s goals.

Texans work hard and deserve an economy that benefits them for doing so. I am focused on lowering the everyday costs that hit families hardest, from housing and taxes to utilities, healthcare, and childcare.

Texans deserve safe, clear, and compassionate healthcare.

Texas leads the nation in maternal mortality, and restrictive laws have forced doctors into impossible situations. Healthcare decisions should be made between a patient and their doctor, not shaped by political fear.

Dignity is not negotiable.

Growing up with LGBTQ+ family members taught me that equality is personal. Recent laws have targeted LGBTQ+ Texans, especially youth, who deserve support, not political attacks.

Protecting our communities while respecting responsible gun owners.

As Texans, we understand firearms are part of our culture and our history. We also know that keeping our communities safe requires responsibility, training, and common-sense safeguards. Every parent, teacher, and first-responder in our district deserves action, not more political talking points.
