Everything changed in 2015 when my father, working long hours, constantly stressed, and feeling like he alone was responsible for keeping our lives stable, died of a heart attack at 53. In one day I lost the stability that had defined my life. My mother and I would rely on donations from friends, family, and acquaintances to keep us afloat through several moves across the Keller suburbs.
During this time I was diagnosed with depression, autism, and ADHD. Health insurance was non-negotiable, and I helplessly watched for years as my mother struggled to provide them for me. My 4th through 12th grade education was at a private school where my now unaffordable tuition was waived and teachers helped shape my interest in history, social studies, and economics.
After graduating, I worked as a janitor for a year and then as a crew member at McDonald’s. These jobs taught me managing workflow on a time crunch, de-escalation tactics, working in high-stress environments, and a firsthand understanding of living under systems designed by out-of-touch politicians. Unfortunately, college is so expensive that I had no way to afford it without going into massive debt. So, I focused on self-studying political science and economics between work shifts.- Everyone deserves access to healthcare. The health insurance industry is functionally a scam. I’m fighting for a public plan that guarantees coverage for all medications and treatments deemed necessary by your doctor. Anyone 26 or under will also be considered a dependent of their parents or guardian, with disabled adults having indefinite coverage. This system will be funded the same way Social Security and unemployment already are. A small, automatic contribution taken from your paycheck and matched by your employer. No surprise $800 bills waiting in the mail.
- Housing is a necessity, not a luxury. We need to lower housing costs so Texans can actually afford to stay in their homes. For homeowners, that means stronger homestead protections so you are not taxed out of your house, and limits on insurance companies jacking up rates without real data. For renters, large landlords with five or more properties would be capped at 3% rent increases per year, and evictions would require real, documented reasons. Not just “because I said so.”
- To create the best education system possible, we must end school funding being tied to property taxes in your zip code. Every kid, no matter where they’re from, deserves the best we can provide. Schools should receive enough funding to pay teachers and staff a living wage, purchase supplies, fund learning resources like computers, and pay for expansions and remodeling as needed. As well, in-state tuition costs for community college and public 4-year colleges should be free. Students shouldn’t have to put themselves in crippling debt just to earn a degree.
-Lowering the cost to afford a home.
-Fully funded public schools and free tuition for public and community college.
-Repealing voucher scam legislation.
-Democratic reforms such as automatic voter registration and ranked-choice voting.
-Expanding workers’ rights and union bargaining power.
-Statewide minimum wage that’s the minimum to make a living, indexed to where you live.
-Combating climate change.
