Texas should fund education in a way that is fair, transparent, and focused on student outcomes rather than property values alone. The state should ensure classrooms are properly funded, teachers are supported, and dollars reach students efficiently. I support accountability in spending, local flexibility, and funding models that reduce pressure on homeowners while improving educational quality across all communities.
Texas should prioritize the safety, stability, and long-term well-being of children in state care. This includes adequate funding for caseworkers, reduced caseloads, better oversight, and support for foster families. I support reforms that focus on prevention, accountability, and coordinated services so children are protected, families are strengthened when possible, and young people are given real paths toward stable adulthood.
Texas should work to secure the border in a manner that is lawful, effective, and humane. This includes supporting cooperation with federal authorities, targeting human trafficking and criminal activity, and ensuring border communities have the resources they need. Immigration policy should balance enforcement with due process, public safety, and respect for the rule of law.
Texas should focus on improving access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, especially in rural and underserved areas. This includes supporting rural hospitals, expanding access to primary and preventive care, and reducing administrative barriers that drive up costs. Policy should emphasize efficiency, patient choice, and coordination between providers so Texans receive timely care close to home whenever possible.
Texas must ensure electricity is reliable, affordable, and resilient as demand grows, including from data centers and population growth. The state should focus on grid reliability, infrastructure investment, and realistic planning for peak demand. I support policies that prioritize reliability, transparency, and market accountability so Texans have dependable power without unnecessary cost increases.
Texas must plan responsibly to ensure long-term water availability for homes, agriculture, and growing communities. This includes investing in infrastructure, conservation, and modern management systems. I support transparent planning, regional cooperation, and data-driven decisions so water resources are protected, efficiently used, and available for future generations.
Districts should be drawn using clear, transparent criteria that prioritize equal population, contiguity, and respect for existing communities and local boundaries. The process should follow the law, be publicly accountable, and avoid favoring any individual or group. Fair maps help ensure voters choose their representatives, not the other way around.
Texas should ensure higher education remains affordable, accessible, and aligned with workforce needs. This includes controlling costs, improving transparency in tuition and fees, and strengthening pathways between high schools, community colleges, universities, and skilled trades. I support accountability for outcomes so students graduate with skills that lead to meaningful employment without excessive debt.
The state should treat every person with dignity and ensure equal protection under the law. Policy decisions should be guided by constitutional principles, public safety, parental involvement, and respect for individual rights. I support thoughtful, evidence-based approaches that avoid discrimination while recognizing the role of families and local communities in sensitive matters.
Key issues facing Texas include infrastructure reliability, affordability for families, and trust in government institutions. I believe the Legislature should focus on transparent budgeting, efficient use of public funds, and long-term planning for growth. My priority is practical, lawful solutions that strengthen communities, protect taxpayers, and ensure the state is prepared for future challenges.
