Chuck Crews is a chemical engineer, book lover, and marathoner–running to reset the priorities of the Texas Legislature and deliver high-quality basic services for you and your family.
  • ENERGY: TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, FIX THE GRID
  • HEALTHCARE: HEALTHY TEXANS ARE HAPPY TEXANS
  • EDUCATION: SECURING OUR FUTURE
ENERGY: TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE ENERGY, FIX THE GRID Texas has an abundance of renewable energy sources, and has the potential to become a net exporter of sustainable energy. During winter storm Uri in February of 2021, we saw what happened when the poorly managed, outdated fossil fuel energy sources failed us. Hundreds of Texans died needlessly, and Greg Abbott and his buddies profited billions. We need a robust power grid based on a sustainable, endless supply of energy.

HEALTHCARE: HEALTHY TEXANS ARE HAPPY TEXANS Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. Cancer is second. Early detection of these problems is critical to improving the lives of all Texans. By refusing to expand Medicaid, Texas is leaving our own money on the table. Expanding Medicaid will allow Texans to bring federal dollars home and benefit from improved healthcare, and lower costs. Improved access to preventative health care will help Texans live longer, healthier lives. Abortion is healthcare. The recent actions by the Texas Legislature show that Republicans consider women to be second-class citizens, incapable of making their own decisions about their bodies. The right to abortion must be codified into law.

EDUCATION: SECURING OUR FUTURE Chuck understands how important it is that every child has an opportunity for a quality education. Unfortunately, legislatures over the last 20+ years have consistently under-funded our public schools, leaving teachers and local tax payers to pick
Ideally, the Governor is a visionary leader who establishes goals to improve the lives of their constituents. The legislature should act as the detail designers to elegantly and efficiently achieve those goals.
The greatest challenges facing Texas are the failing Education, Health, and Infrastructure systems following decades of Republican mismanagement.
I believe that experience in serving the public is important, and experience in a given role is generally beneficial. Unfortunately, career politicians often become disconnected from their constituents, leading to uninformed stances on critical policies.
Redistricting has historically been used by the party in power to consolidate their power and oppress others. Redistricting should be left to non-partisan commissions which are obligated to provide statistical evidence of proposed maps being non-partisan.
For some policies, compromise is necessary for policymaking; for other policies, there are non-negotiable stances.
