| Collapse all
- We need to stop playing politics with healthcare for Texans, and take the Medicaid expansion and accept the federal dollars available to help lower-income Texans.
- We need to decriminalize marijuana and stop jailing people for low-level non-violent drug offenses.
- I have family members who are police officers and they need help. They need more money for more training, especially to deescalate crisis situations and they need society to pay for social workers, drug rehab and mental health facilities, so they can keep us safe instead of continually dealing with the same trouble people.
I put myself through college working in book stores and as a line cook. I found a passion in journalism and spent 20 years working as a reporter in the South.
I spent almost 15 years as a courthouse reporter for the Houston Chronicle covering the criminal justice system and crime policy.
Like a lot of people, I was shocked and disappointed by the election in 2016. After the shock wore off, I decided to leave newspapers and get more involved in politics and help Democrats get elected.
