Where I Stand.
Economic Opportunity
Every person deserves access to good jobs and fair wages. Strong communities begin with strong local economies, and I will fight for policies that open doors for families in Congressional District 14 (TX).
Education
Education is the backbone of opportunity. I support investment in teachers, modernized classrooms, and pathways to success for every child. A strong public education system creates a strong generation of future leaders.
Infrastructure and Resiliency
District Fourteen knows hurricanes, floods, and power outages. Basic infrastructure should never be political. I support smart infrastructure, energy reliability, and resilient systems that protect our families and our businesses.
Bringing People Together
This campaign is about unity. Safe neighborhoods, strong schools, good jobs, and a future our children can be proud of do not belong to any one party. I believe that progress happens when people work together. I am committed to cooperation, common sense, and listening to the voices of the people of Congressional District 14 (TX).
Mental Health, Public Safety, and Homelessness
I support law enforcement, and I believe true safety requires stability, mental health support, and opportunity. Real safety means caring for people, not ignoring the challenges they face.
Healthcare
Every citizen should have access to affordable and reliable healthcare without long travel times or overwhelming costs. I support strengthening and restoring the Affordable Care Act so people can manage health concerns and still maintain a good quality of life.
Immigration
Our present immigration system has failed the American people. The present system hasn’t been updated since 1990. The homeland security budget for ICE is $70 Billion dealing with mass deportation. It has resulted in major uproars in our cities and has led to loss of human life. I would push for immigration reform that is humane in our present environment.
Affordability
To build affordability in this economy, We need policy that will roll back tariffs, which have raised prices, clearing barriers to build more affordable housing. Promoting more competition in industries ranging from healthcare to food processing.
