Healthcare "A healthy person is a wealthy person." The future of healthcare lies in working hand-in-hand with technology and healthcare workers. Investing in a county healthcare system will allow us embrace emerging healthcare technologies and prepare the future generation of North Texan trained health professionals Healthcare is a priority because our very existence relies upon our ability to stay alive. How do we accomplish this?
Justice Reform According to the Equal Justice Initiative, the United States incarcerates its citizens more than any other country. Mass incarceration disproportionately impacts the poor and people of color and fails to increase public safety. Police Departments across the country are facing both intense challenges and tremendous opportunities to enhance public safety. Challenges in policy and oversight; community partnerships and officer wellness and safety. While advances in technology have created promising and new approaches to policing. How do we accomplish this?
Infrastructure Investment in infrastructure has the power to alleviate today’s economic distress and create opportunities for tomorrow. North Texas can continue to grow our current efforts and prepare for future growth. How do we accomplish this?
Digital Infrastructure
Climate Action According to the Union of Concerned Scientist Climate change is one of the most urgent issues of our day. Several recent studies show that acting quickly and decisively to address this challenge and shift our economy to clean energy will bring significant benefits to the United States—while also helping us avoid some of the worst consequences of unchecked global warming. How do we accomplish this?
Economy Closing the economic inequality gap, stopping inflation and creating jobs that pay good salaries are the top priorities to creating a balanced and stabilized economy. How do we accomplish this?
Immigration Diversity improves our country. Ensuring we have the resources and policies in place is important to address the current economic stress we face. The priority is to identify every person in this country and create unbiased pathways to U.S. residency and citizenship. How do we accomplish this?
National Security Every American should feel safe in this within the borders of this country. We have an obligation to defend our citizens from all foreign, domestic and virtual threats. How do we accomplish this?
