Campaign website
Minton's campaign website stated the following:
BUILT TO . . . MAKE HEALTHCARE AFFORDABLE
Built for patients, not insurance companies, not politicians, and not profit margins.
We all want to live in a country where getting sick doesn’t mean going broke, and where every Texan can see a doctor when they need one. Healthcare is a right, not a luxury item reserved for the lucky or the wealthy. The health insurance lobby, and the Republican politicians they’ve bought, who profit by keeping healthcare confusing, expensive, and out of reach. Universal, affordable healthcare actually works. We see it in systems like Medicare and the VA. Lower costs. Better outcomes. Less paperwork. More care. We spend more per person on healthcare than any country on Earth, and still can’t crack the top ten in outcomes. That’s not “freedom.” That’s inefficiency. America leads the world in medical innovation. We should also lead the world in making sure people can actually use it.
BUILT TO . . . PROTECT PUBLIC EDUCATION
Built for kids, teachers, and communities, not West Texas Billionaires trying to cash in on our classrooms.
Our tax-paying families deserve strong public schools that prepare our kids to compete, and win, in a global economy. Education opened doors for me, just like it has for millions of Texans. Every kid deserves that same shot. West Texas Billionaires and Christian nationalists who want to dismantle public education and replace it with ideology and profit. A stronger Department of Education that protects students, supports teachers, and stops states from racing to the bottom. And school vouchers made illegal nationwide, before public education is sold off piece by piece. This isn’t about “local control.” It’s about control, period. Our kids are not political pawns, and they are definitely not profit centers.
BUILT TO . . . GROW SMALL BUSINESSES
Built for Main Street, not Wall Street, because the American Dream should be within reach again.
We all want an economy where the American Dream feels possible again, not like a rigged game. Hard work should be rewarded. Small businesses should thrive. Families should be able to get ahead. Corporate monopolies, Billionaire tax cheats, and reckless economic policies that squeeze working people while protecting the ultra-wealthy. Fair taxes. Smart trade policy. Real support for small businesses, not just lip service while the Billionaires are bailed out over and over. Small businesses create jobs, build communities, and keep Texas moving. If the system only works for billionaires, then it’s not working, and it’s time to fix it.
BUILT FOR . . . A STRONG BORDER AND COMPASSIONATE IMMIGRATION
Built for secure borders, safe communities, and basic human dignity, without federal overreach or cruelty.
All Texans want a secure border and safe communities, without cruelty, chaos, or political theater. We can enforce the law and still be humane. We can be secure and still be free. And we can protect our neighbors without turning our country into something we don’t recognize. Politicians who use fear to divide us, and a federal immigration system that’s been weaponized for headlines instead of solutions. We need a return to civil immigration enforcement, a secure and well-managed border, and an end to family separation and mass detention camps. We need an immigration policy that is firm, fair, and lawful, not abusive. We do not put children in cages. Full stop. We secure the border, and we keep the federal government out of our cities. Our local, hard-working union police officers know our communities best. They should be doing their jobs, not taking orders from DC bureaucrats or federal agencies trying to score political points. We can protect the First Amendment, the right to speak up and stand up for our neighbors, and the Second Amendment, responsible, lawful ownership, without turning either into a political weapon. America doesn’t need occupation. It needs competence, humanity, and common sense.
BUILT TO . . . PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHT TO VOTE
Built for fair maps, secure elections, and a democracy where your vote matters.
We deserve a democracy where every eligible Texan can vote freely, safely, and confidently. and where every vote is counted and matters. Voting isn’t a privilege handed out by politicians. It’s a right, and the foundation of self-government. Republicans don’t have actual policies that we want or that work, so they rig maps, suppress votes, and undermine trust in elections to hold onto power. We deserve fair map, secure elections, and easy access to the ballot. Let’s put an end to political theater that silence voters instead of earning their support. If politicians get to pick their voters, democracy stops working.
Texas elections should be secure and accessible. not confusing, intimidating, or designed to keep people home. When more people vote, Texas is stronger. Period.
Built for Texas means solving problems without fear, cruelty, or corruption.
