I graduated from Stephen F. Austin with a Social Work degree and Pre-Law minor. I’m not a career politician I’m a listener, a worker, and a problem-solver who comes from this community.
Texas needs voting laws that make it easier, not harder. Expand early voting, protect vote-by-mail, restore drop boxes, and stop voter purges that hit Black, Brown, young, and low-income voters. I’ll fight for people’s rights like I do in social work every day.
Families shouldn’t choose between rent and medicine. I’ll fight to expand Medicaid, lower prescription costs, protect rural hospitals, and fund mental health services. Healthcare must be affordable and accessible for all Texans, no matter your zip code or income.
Communities left behind need real investment. I’ll fund job training, apprenticeships, and small businesses in underserved areas, raise wages, and protect workers’ rights. Growth should reach everyone, not just big corporations. Hard work deserves dignity.
Texas can have reliable, affordable energy without hurting the planet. Strengthen the grid, hold companies accountable, and invest in responsible oil, gas, wind, and solar. Clean energy creates jobs and protects our future while keeping costs low.
Water is life. I support conservation, fixing old infrastructure, and protecting rivers and aquifers. Scarcity hits low-income communities hardest. We need smart planning, funding for local systems, and drought prep so clean water isn’t a luxury.
Every kid deserves a quality public school. I’ll fight for full funding, higher teacher pay, smaller classes, and more student support. School choice shouldn’t take from neighborhood schools. Strong public schools strengthen families and communities.
