Atencio's campaign website stated the following:

YOUR AMERICA 2022 Health Care Recently our healthcare has come under attack, The V.A. is a total disaster former republicans have ignored the issue but I will fight to make sure that never happens. By devising a medicare access for all program, I have distilled a way to pay for it, through a PFD program generated by the Dream Big America Project. The Anti-Corruption Act I have set the standards very high, and will continue to fight for change based in our reach for human sovereignty, free from institutional bias and our struggle for equality until our vision of a more perfect union has been reached. One of our hallmark messages is the Anti-corruption-act, which pushes for term limits, and highly restricts campaign financing practices often overshadowing prudent capitalistic practices. As such this will help serve the agenda of introducing the Anti-Corruption-Act. My political opponents have raised millions in favor of their endorsers not the people. Their coalitions are comprised of mega corporations and oligopolistic interests. This year alone, 100 billion dollars will be spent on campaigning. Those funds could have saved millions of children, given healthcare to millions, and served millions of military veterans. Part of our campaign is focused on waking constituents up to the fact that politicians are no longer looking out for the needs and interests of their constituents. They are focused on winning on a "grass roots donation based campaign" with constituents unaware that their needs, will after the election be overshadowed by crony capitalism. Capitalism in the 21st century I am focused on an agenda of prudent capitalism and small business interests, will be at the top of my priorities. I have been transparent from the beginning in my objectives. The hybrid means that USAID, and government contracts would go to serve the needs of community based business and level the playing field for all. We are fighting for equal pay for equal work, gender equality, your healthcare on a federal level, and raising the minimum wage. Recently, the U.S House put a bill forward that would have raised the minimum wage, however your representative voted against it. I will make sure you get a raise through a tax subsidized pay increase to your minimum wage so that you can put food on your tables and have enough to put Christmas presents under the tree. The M.A.B.U.S. Bill Peace only becomes possible through the lens of liberty, diversity and mutual cooperation that starts on the local, district, and regional level, as our forefathers had originally envisioned. Please take a look at the Making America a Better Unified State Bill and sign the proposal. Together we can cultivate unity! A Clear Path to Clean Nuclear Energy The recent abject failure of the Green New Deal is a close and personal issue for me caused by the rise of leftist policies, which compromised our safety leading to the tragic deaths of constituents within our district. As democrats have pushed to sell off our energy grid to big tech's recent acquisition of wind and solar Texans have experienced decreased Diversity of our energy grid. That is why we are pushing to repeal and replace the Green New Deal, with a more diversified grid that includes clean nuclear energy. That is our vision!
