| Collapse all
Ryan worked as a Customer Service Agent and Ramp Agent for both United Airlines, Inc., and Southwest Airlines, Inc. As a proud unionized member and shop steward of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Ryan developed a strong commitment to workers' rights and has remained a steadfast advocate for union protections.
Ryan’s dedication to youth development is evident in his work with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, where he spent over a decade as a Youth Development Professional. His hands-on experience with young people from all backgrounds has fueled his belief in the importance of after-school programs and safe spaces where youth can learn, grow, and thrive.- Fighting for a Better Future for Our Youth - I understand that the well-being and success of our youth shape the future of our communities. With over a decade of experience as a Youth Development Professional with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, I gained firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by young people today. I'm a fierce advocate for after-school programs, safe spaces, and comprehensive youth support systems. In Congress, I will prioritize expanding youth development programs, reforming the foster care system, and fighting for universal school meals.
- Standing Strong for Working Families and Union Rights - As a former unionized employee with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, I've lived the struggles and victories of America’s workforce. I know the value of strong unions in securing fair wages, safe working conditions, and workplace protections. My commitment to workers’ rights extends to championing Medicare for All, housing for all, and affordable education to reduce the burdens on working families. In Congress, I will advocate for policies that uplift workers, strengthen unions, and create economic opportunities for all. I believe that when workers succeed, communities thrive.
- Inclusive Leadership for All Texans - my campaign is rooted in inclusivity and justice. As a proud advocate for women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and animal rights, I am dedicated to building a society where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. My professional background in mental healthcare gives me a unique perspective on the need for compassionate, evidence-based policies to address the mental health crisis. In Congress, I will champion Medicare for All, affordable housing, and education reforms to ensure every Texan has access to the resources they need to lead fulfilling lives. My vision is clear: a future where all Texans, regardless of background or identity, can achieve their fullest potential.

Ryan Trevino completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Trevino's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Our Constitution says all Americans have a right to life. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say "but as long as Americans can afford it." We need to find a solution that allows American citizens greater access to lifesaving treatments and medications which allow them to be able to exercise their constitutional right to life. Anything less is simply unconstitutional.
- Equality for all Americans is not a political issue, it's just common sense. Every American citizen, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation or identity, religion, and race, deserves to be treated equally before the Law.
- All my adult life I've advocated for youths. I don't intend to stop now. We must work to find solutions that reform our foster care/adoption system at all levels so that youths are not subjected to adverse experiences on their journey to finding a forever home. I intend to work with all levels of government to find solutions that put the interest and needs of our youth first.
