Jennie Birkholz completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Birkholz's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Education: Our public schools are integral to our communities and significantly shape Texas's future. Jennie will support public education with increased funding, workforce investments, and meaningful accountability reforms. She is against publicly funded school vouchers and will advocate for well-funded, high-quality education that is accessible to every student.
- Healthcare: Affordable, accessible, quality healthcare is essential to the well-being of families and success of Texas. No Texan should go bankrupt because they get sick, or have delayed care because they can not get to a provider. Jennie supports policies that improve healthcare access, reduce uninsured rates, and address provider shortages.
- Our district is undergoing unprecedented growth, demanding safe, affordable communities with robust infrastructure and economic opportunities. Amidst climate change challenges, securing access to water, broadband, affordable housing, and clean energy is imperative for community resilience. Jennie will prioritize local voices, advocate for equal opportunities, address climate change, and champion smart growth to ensure a prosperous and sustainable future for all Texans.
