Ballotpedia survey responses

Brandy Chambers completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Chambers' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
Brandy moved to Dallas in 2001 to serve as Professional & Financial Claims Litigation Counsel, providing substantive legal analysis and litigation strategy to defend a wide variety of matters nationwide and internationally. Since 2012, Brandy has served in different roles providing quality legal support to individuals and companies.
- Actual progress on property tax reform, recouping billions in Texas' healthcare dollars going to other states, and fully funding our neighborhood schools didn't happen the last legislative session because out-of-touch politicians like my opponent continue to waste time on fringe issues like Confederate statues and chicken sandwiches. I am personally invested in our district - in our schools, small businesses, and our future. The current House District 112 representative is a representative in NAME ONLY. She votes against local control, neighborhood schools, property tax reform, public safety, wage theft prevention, and private family planning. She works for special interest donors. I will work for you.
- House District 112 is one of the most competitive in Texas because people are tired of the extreme bills that don't address real problems. We're only nine seats away from resetting the priorities for Texas and there are 18 districts within 10 points - HD 112 is within just two. Two! I believe in fairness, science, public education, and free elections. Every person, whether a small business owner, immigrant, woman, or working class Texan, deserves a chance to succeed in our great state. We can build a better Texas when we set partisan politics aside and work together.
- New reports show we have more than DOUBLE our opponent's individual donors, which makes sense because she's funded by special interests (nearly 70 in her last report alone). She outspent us 3:1 last time, with little outside attention to this race, but she can't buy House District 112 this time. She may outspend us again, but she won't outwork us.
I support saving lives and saving billions of our own tax dollars with Medicaid expansion.
Texas is currently ranked dead last in health care coverage and has the highest uninsured rate in the country, with almost 4.3 million Texans being uninsured. Additionally, Texas loses nearly $100 billion per year in federal funds to states like California and New York by refusing to expand Medicaid.
Jobs and Worker's Rights
As an employment lawyer, I know we must value and support Texas workers. We need to bring more and higher paying jobs into the area. We need to invest in education and workforce training to compete with other locales.
We also need to protect workers from wage theft. We also need to "ban the box" and allow qualified individuals a fair shot at employment before criminal background checks.
Elections and voting rights
I believe a true democracy cannot exist without free and fair elections, and fair maps.
