Before teaching, I worked in the Texas Senate, where I learned how laws are shaped and how power can be used responsibly, but also how often voices from home are missing. I returned home after college to stay rooted in my community and grounded in the realities families like my students’ and my own face every day. In the classroom, I see how policy choices affect kids’ lives, family stress, and our neighborhoods. Those experiences shaped my values: putting people before politics, listening before deciding, and measuring success by whether people are actually better off.
I currently serve as Executive VP of the SA Alliance AFT Local 67, an Executive Board Member of the San Antonio AFL-CIO Central Labor Council, and the labor representative to the VIA Metropolitan Transit Board. In these roles, I have helped secure jobs when schools closed, win higher wages for educators, and expand public transportation. If elected, I will bring experience, heart, and work ethic to keep fighting for the Texas we all deserve.- I have spent my entire career fighting for working people and will continue this fight as state representative. My top priority is to ensure fully funded, high-quality public schools are in every neighborhood without overburdening homeowners or renters through rising property taxes. I will fight to raise the basic allotment per student, increase funding for Special Education and other high-need populations, fund school districts based on enrollment, and raise wages for school employees so we can attract and retain the best educators and staff for our children and future.
- Healthcare is a human right, and I will prioritize expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act so at least one million more Texans can access quality healthcare. The State needs to focus on investing in our healthcare systems; more funding our Health and Human Services agencies, securing state funds for local municipalities to expand community health centers that provide culturally competent care, and strengthening Medicare and CHIP by closing coverage gaps and protecting Texans with pre-existing conditions.
- Address the chronic and growing crises facing working families in San Antonio and across Texas. I will work to pass legislation with the potential to tangibly improve the lives of working-class Texans, including securing collective bargaining rights for all workers, investing in childcare, free community college, and registered apprenticeships, increasing the stock of accessible housing, raising the minimum wage, securing paid parental and sick leave, and more.
