I started campaigning at age five handing out push cards for my grandfather running for Archer County clerk. Although I grew up in a Republican household, I quickly became a Democrat, supporting McGovern. My first major political effort was on behalf of Sarah Weddington, continuing with Geraldine Ferraro, Ann Richards, and Wendy Davis. I flew to Chicago to participate in the last ERA march.
Gerrymandering created a new ruby red House of Representatives district, with four rural counties and a conservative portion of a blue urban county. But the issues are too critical to just sit back and allow a continuation of a self-serving, uncaring state legislature, hence my candidacy based on the Golden Rule--do unto others as you would have them do unto you.- Demand we accept our federal tax dollars by accepting Medicaid expansion. A healthy Texas is a prosperous Texas.
- We have a seemingly endless list if ways to improve Texas school. A brief list includes: *Offer competitive salaries for teachers. *Return $5 billion in covid education relief from the general fund back to schools. *Eliminate high stakes testing. *Train teachers to recognize different ways their students learn.
- We all love the Hill Country and more and more people are loving it, too. We must balance this growth by protecting water quantity and quality, protecting the hills we love from being dug out, and protecting air quality near stone processing.
- Protect women's and girls' lives by maintaining their right to control their own bodies.
- Stop torturing our children and fund children's protective services.
- Support gun ownership, but only after background checks, including online and gun show sales.
- Return local control.
- Ditch for-profit prisons.
- Approach all legislative issues with Golden Rule in mind: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
