Expand all | Collapse all

My Name is Detrick DeBurr. I live in The Colony, Texas. I've been a planning and zoning commissioner in North Texas for almost 17 years. 8 Years in Cedar Hill, Texas with another 9 years in The Colony, Texas. I'm a software engineer by training.
  • The fight over funding public schools in Texas will be a major issue in the next legislative session. I am 100% against vouchers as they have been presented.
  • Nearly 1.7 Million Texans lost Medicaid benefits over the past year, while more than two-thirds of Texans support Medicaid expansion. I'm 100% in support of any legislation that expands Medicaid. We need that $5 billion in federal support to provide healthcare for Texans.
  • We must raise the legal age to obtain assault weapons in Texas to at least 21. However, Texas law only requires buyers of any type of firearm to be 18 or older. This allows an 18-year-old to buy an assault weapon when they can't even buy a handgun. Every gun sale should require a background check. Texans can obtain guns through private sales and gun shows to avoid federal background check requirements. We have to close this loophole.
Urban autonomy, meaning the ability and aspiration of cities to act relatively independently, without state intervention, and/or exercise their political power vis-à-vis the state.
Communicate to their constituency the issues and how those issues impact their day-to-day lives.
My first job was working in a General Motors assembly plant at 17. It was a summer job. I was able to join the union and work alongside hard working people. It helped me to really appreciate an opportunity to further my education. Many of these people didn't have that opportunity.
The Governor should be representing the interest of the State while the legislature should be representing the people in the state from their respective districts. This ensures that the goals of the state are in alignment with the citizens of that state.
Yes, its important that they have some experience but elected experience should NOT be a pre-requisite.
Absolutely. There are always competing interests. Its through building healthy relationships that legislators can, with integrity, represent the people they represent.
The legislature should oversee and approve the use of emergency powers by the Governor.
Public Education, Urban Affairs, Elections
Government belongs to the people hence it must be 100% transparent and accountable to the people.
