- Texas’s 3rd Congressional District is one of the fastest-growing districts in the country. It is highly educated, economically successful, and full of opportunity—but that growth has exposed serious cracks in our foundation. Public schools are closing or overcrowded, healthcare providers are shutting their doors, affordable housing is increasingly out of reach, and infrastructure has not kept pace with the population boom. If elected to Congress, my job will be to make sure federal resources flow back to North Texas to meet these challenges head-on. That means fighting for federal investments in public schools, healthcare access, transportation, and infrastructure—investments that benefit the overwhelming majority of residents.
- The American economy is out of balance. The billionaire class is growing faster than ever, the middle class is shrinking, and the number of working families struggling to get by continues to rise. Strengthening the economy starts with rebuilding it from the middle out and the bottom up—while being responsible stewards of the nation’s finances. We need to reduce the everyday cost pressures facing young and working families, starting with healthcare reforms, but also the construction of affordable housing, expanding access to affordable childcare, and preventing corporations from buying up entire neighborhoods of single-family homes and driving up prices. Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy and should be treated as such.
- The greatest domestic threat facing the United States is widespread political apathy. This disengagement, combined with the outsized influence of big money, special interests, and algorithms designed to reward outrage and division, has distorted our democracy. The result is a political system dominated by extremes, while the voices of everyday Americans are drowned out or ignored. Fixing this requires deliberate, structural reform. It starts by getting big money out of our politics and the justice system by working to repeal Citizens United, instituting term limits, and preventing insider stock trading. It also means accountability - my campaign won't accept money from special interests or foreign-interest PACs.
Immigration reform is urgent. We need strong borders but we also need to get back to treating all people with due process, dignity and respect. if we want to catch the worst, first, then we need to let cops (not masked federal agents) catch criminals.
Public Schools must be adequately funded at the local, state and federal level. Unlimited vouchers programs that transition public funds to private wealth must be stopped.
