I will protect our rights. In the most recent legislative session, Texas House Republicans launched a full on assault against basic rights by making it harder to vote and making it illegal for women to have an abortion after 6 weeks. We must make it easy to vote and make polling locations more accessible. We must restore women's rights and with that, the right to choose.

I will represent the best interests of the residents of my district. For too long, our current representative has been more focused on legislation that will appease far-right conservatives as well as special interest groups, in order to get re-elected. We need a leader that will be accountable to the people of HD67, one that will be accessible, and that will put the people first at all times.

Our public schools need help. The state needs to invest more in our children, in a dedicated fund that is ONLY for public schools. Texas relies too much on property taxes to fund public schools. Too often, our schools take a backseat when it comes to the state's budget. When there is a budget shortfall, our public schools fall victim and the funds that should go to our children's education is used to balance the budget. School funds should be protected from use that is not related to education.
I'm passionate about defending the rights of Texans. In regards to laws passed that make voting more difficult, laws that take away our Constitutional rights, I think it's important for people to ask themselves "Who is asking for these laws?" Who among us, has asked for it to be harder to vote? Who is asking for women to lose their rights? Who is asking for private companies to be protected from individuals in lawsuits? Nobody is, and yet these are the laws that the GOP has passed recently. The Texas GOP is not representing their constituents and the rights of them; they represent the special interest groups that get them re-elected and fund their campaigns.

When elected, I will push to make voting easier for everyone. The narrative of voter fraud is a lie that has been pushed by Republicans to pander to their base. While election integrity is essential, so are our rights to vote. I will push to restore bodily autonomy to women. I will make sure that our schools are properly funded and that our teachers' salaries are in line with the rest of the nation. Texas NEEDS to be a leader in education. I will push to make sure we are receiving federal dollars by expanding Medicaid and getting more healthcare for uninsured and underinsured Texans. I will push for a $15 minimum wage. Workers will want to earn more when paid more and it will fuel their desire to improve their skills and look for upward mobility.

Finally, I am passionate about giving a voice to my community.
