Henry Arturo completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Arturo's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Public education is essential to the well-being of our country and its people. It serves as the foundation for an informed and engaged citizenry, vital for the survival of democracy. We must ensure that teachers are appropriately paid and that their long-term careers are worth the investment by safeguarding retirement pay from political and economic pressures. The founding fathers of our nation understood that public education is an investment in the future of a well-organized society. It is important to fight back against school voucher schemes, underfunding and budget cuts. Restrictions on curriculum and academic freedom aim to censor educators and stifle critical thinking.
- Expanding Medicaid is a critical step in bridging the healthcare gap for tax-paying citizens. In Texas, where Medicaid currently covers over 5.8 million people out of a population of 30.5 million, there remains a significant number of gainfully employed individuals who lack coverage due to prohibitable high costs. However, if Texas were to adopt Medicaid expansion, approximately 1.4 million low-income adults between the ages of 19 and 65 could become eligible for this essential program. Moreover, expanding Medicaid provides financial security for families, leading to lower rates of evictions and overall economic stability. By investing in healthcare, we not only ensure a healthy workforce but also contribute to a stronger economy.
- As our district expands, it is crucial to ensure that our infrastructure aligns with the needs of our citizens while mindfully considering the environmental impact on our local ecosystems. Safeguarding the investment funds provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will play a pivotal role in ensuring that all Texans have access to reliable, clean drinking water, high-speed broadband, improved roads and bridges, and an enhanced public transportation system. Furthermore, as we invest in infrastructure, we must integrate renewable technologies to achieve our long-term goals of job creation and reducing our environmental footprint.
