He is running for the Texas House of Representatives in District 120 because too many systems in Texas are failing working people by design. As everyday Texans struggle with rising property taxes, aging infrastructure, and chronically underfunded public schools, those in power continue to prioritize political distractions over meaningful solutions. Too often, decisions made in Austin are disconnected from the realities facing families and neighborhoods across our state. As an educator, he sees the impact of these choices every day in overcrowded classrooms, stretched resources, and families doing everything they can to get by. These challenges aren’t abstract. They show up in students’ learning environments, in parents’ stress, and in long-term outcomes for entire communities.
His campaign is focused on putting students, families, and working-class communities first by fighting for real solutions that strengthen public schools, invest in neighborhoods, and make life more affordable and stable. He is running to fight the status quo, fix what’s broken, and help build a Texas that invests in people, strengthens communities, and delivers a government that truly works for everyone.- For the last 15 years, I’ve built my professional career around finding solutions that truly matter, both in the nonprofit sector and as a public school special education teacher. My thought process has always been about identifying challenges, asking the right questions to understand them, and then working to find solutions that make a measurable difference. I do this work because I love it, and because I genuinely enjoy being of service and making a positive impact in the lives of the people I serve. Now, I want to take those skills and experience, that perspective, and a commitment to never being content with complacency into the state legislature. I’m ready to help make the changes I know District 120 deserves.
- I’m running for this seat because I see the impact of underinvestment in our schools every single day. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about supporting the systems that allow District 120 to thrive. I want to fight to increase the basic allotment for students and move Texas from lagging behind to leading the country. We can invest our tax dollars in job creation, infrastructure, and the green and AI economies already taking shape. I’m running to help unleash the full potential of our state and our district.
- As a volunteer, I’ve always believed in building relationships and getting people engaged. Right now, we need more people involved, and I want to use this campaign to show that investing in people is both the right thing to do and how we win elections. I’m engaging our community through less conventional methods because that’s how we grow the electorate. This campaign isn’t just about winning one race, it’s about rebuilding connection and expanding who participates in our democracy. With the right support, we can show what’s possible when we invest in people and long-term change.
