My values were shaped by family discussions at my childhood dinner table and at the feet of my grandparents. When I became a mother, I wanted to instill those same values in my children – everyone deserves respect, opportunity, and equality. From my strong union pedigree, I learned early on that we all do better when we all do better. When one of us stands in need we must all step up as one community and provide a helping hand.

As a community leader I have worked to bring those same values to those around me. It is time that Texans have a voice in Congress that sounds like them – mothers, fathers, veterans, students, educators, and everyone in between – because I care about the same issues as you.

  • During my visit to our border over the summer, I noticed an emergency quite different from the narrative being pushed by extremists on the right. Instead of caravans filled with people trying to enter our country, I witnessed Americans crossing the border into Mexico in droves for their most basic healthcare needs. It is inexcusable that Texans must seek healthcare in a foreign country because we can't seem to pass adequate legislation to assure the healthcare needs of our populace are met. I am committed to working across the aisle to get the affordable and accessible healthcare legislation Americans overwhelmingly support passed.
  • I support pragmatic energy policies that bring jobs and investment resources to our state while preserving the environment. Here in Houston, the energy capital of the world, we are home to many innovators and forward-thinking leaders eagerly navigating the new frontier of lower carbon energy resources. We should acknowledge those energy companies that are investing in carbon capture technologies and innovations, growing their investment in renewables, and stepping up to facilitate reduction of global carbon emissions by increasing LNG production. We should incentivize investment in energy company technologies and actions that work to lower carbon emissions. Doing so will help grow our economy and keep us competitive in the global market.
  • A nation of immigrants, whether by choice or by force, we aspire to a set of ideals that unites us. All of us regardless of our political affiliation want opportunity for our families. To achieve the promise of our nation, we must preserve and protect the freedom to be who we are, without fear of retribution. We must continue the work to address systemic inequities, whether based on gender, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability or religion.
Education for our children that will prepare them for successful futures–grounded in facts and truth, not political dogma.

Pragmatic energy policies that bring jobs and investment resources to our state, while meeting the challenges of climate change.

Access to affordable healthcare for everyone, including dental, vision, hearing, and prescription medications.

Support a woman’s right to make healthcare decisions free from government interference.

Support of all our workers and our small businesses.

Fulfilling our promise to those who served in our nation’s military.

Freedom to embrace who we are, who we love and how we express that without fear.

Knowledge that our communities are safe for all of us no matter what we look like, where we live or how we worship.

Responsible gun ownership.
