Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a former kindergarten teacher, a former environmental researcher who studied water, I'm a current beekeeper, a science fiction author (Mandated Happiness), and I've led Our Revolution Texas as the Statewide Coordinator, where I advocated for healthcare as a human right, protecting our environment, and more.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Healthcare is a human right
• 100% renewable energy by 2030
• End the School-to-Prison pipeline

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Healthcare is my number one issue. Texas needs to expand Medicaid and move towards a truly universal system (we don't necessarily have to wait for DC). We must stop the climate crisis, which we can do by investing in Texas' wind farms. Texas already generates more power from wind than from coal, so it's just a matter of taking it to the next level. We must also protect our schools from privatization, boost pay and support for teachers, make it easier for them to unionize, and end the school to prison pipeline.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Jim Hightower, FDR, & LBJ.

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

Running out of water because of the climate crisis.
