Gabrien serves as a human resources officer in the Army Reserve responsible for over 20 Soldiers. He is currently a substitute teacher in NEISD, adding a teacher certification to complement his degree in political science. Gabrien has served as an organizer in San Antonio on progressive issue-based campaigns and Democratic campaigns for nearly a decade. Gabrien grew up a military brat; the son of two Army veterans and educator. If elected, he will be the youngest elected state legislator in Texas. Gabrien has called District 121 home for over a decade, attending MacArthur High School in the district and St. Mary's University in San Antonio. He lives with his partner Alondra and their two rescue dogs, Luna and Sol.
- With all of the resources we boast, Texas still consistently ranks among the very bottom for education nationally. As a substitute teacher in NEISD, I’ve seen first-hand some of the challenges teachers face — whether it’s the threat of gun violence or a global pandemic — and I will fight to support our teachers and keep our students safe. We can start by paying teachers what they deserve, safeguarding and fully funding our classrooms, and keeping politics out of our classrooms. We need to ask: why is our public education system starving for adequate funding while we are paying more and more property taxes each year? Equitably funding our schools means quality education, safer students, and lower property taxes.
- Texas is rated one of the 10 worst states for healthcare coverage, yet we continue to refuse Medicaid expansion and sufficient investment in public health. And we cannot continue to accept that we lead the developed world in maternal mortalities, as we carry the charge of a “pro-life” state. I will sponsor a bill to legalize cannabis in Texas so we can use the minimum projected billion dollars of revenue in two years to lower prescription costs, expand access to care, and begin to truly address mental health for our community — especially veterans struggling with PTSD.
- Texas should lead the nation in clean energy. We have an opportunity to support the Texas Climate Jobs Project recommendations and bring a million clean energy union jobs to Texans, work to curb income inequality, and prioritize constructing mass public transportation like high speed rail. We can achieve net zero emissions in Texas and keep our land and water clean for the future. I will advocate to place Texas on the national grid for all of our safety. I cannot give in to rate increases for residents, because we should not foot the bill for Texas Republicans’ failure to keep the lights on and meet energy demands.
Education, healthcare, climate action and clean energy,
Compromise is absolutely necessary and desirable for policymaking. As a platoon leader in the Army Reserve, I have worked with people with opposing political views to accomplish tasks for Soldiers. The same approach should be taken in the Texas Legislature and we need to ask: what can we work together on and accomplish for Texans despite our differences?
