| Collapse all
My partner Lisa of 20 years and I, have two teen daughters in the Round Rock ISD who are on the high school dance team. My parents immigrated legally to the United States from Ecuador in the 1960’s; my father was an independent business owner for over four decades demonstrating to me and my two brothers that the American dream was possible with grit and tenacity.
- Mental Health Care: Our legislature must address funding and availability of Mental Health care in TX. We especially need to provide care for our children, for those in rural areas, and for our low income residents. I will actively work to enact legislation to address these needs in HD-52 and throughout TX.
- Education: We must adequately finance education again, with the State funding 50-60% of the budget. We must recognize our teachers are professionals by paying them accordingly, and stop attacking them through limiting subjects they teach, if we are to retain them. We also must honor our retired teachers for their years of service by appropriately funding their retirement benefits including health care and annual cost of living increases to keep up with present inflation.
- Veterans Services: Identify Veterans in all Texas counties permitting expanded services for homeless Veterans, unemployed Veterans, and tackle Veteran suicides. Adequately fund the TX Veterans Commission so they may meet their mandates and monitor their service provision.
