Campaign website

Sanchez’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Healthcare
Jana Lynne will fight to make sure health care is affordable and accessible for all Texans and protect coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, including coronavirus. She supports shoring up and expanding the ACA, a public option for Medicare, and the expansion of Medicaid in Texas. All Americans must have medical coverage they can afford.

Economy
Jana Lynne will focus on restoring jobs and economic recovery with direct recovery I support President Biden’s commitment to achieving a $15 minimum wage. No person should work full time and still be below the poverty line.

COVID-19 Relief
Jana Lynne will work with President Biden to expedite vaccine distribution and get more shots in the arms of Texans, so our communities can stay safe and healthy.

Gun Safety
Jana Lynne grew up shooting a gun and supports the 2nd Amendment, just as she does the rest of the Constitution. Common sense gun laws, such as taking guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and the mentally ill, requiring stricter gun licensing laws and universal background checks, however, in no way violate the Constitution and are just common sense steps necessary to protect families.
