I’m a civil rights & criminal defense multi-jurisdictional 20 year licensed attorney who served in the Texas House & in Congress as Vice Ranking Member on Oversight & a Ranker on Judiciary Committee.
I’ll repeal the Trump tariffs that are hurting American consumers and reform our tax structure to ensure the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. This will allow us to deliver relief to the middle and working class and assistance for first-time home buyers and small businesses. Costs have gone up but wages haven’t, which is why I’m co-sponsoring the Raise the Wage Act to increase the minimum wage.
I support comprehensive immigration reform that prioritizes a pathway to citizenship that’s secure, timely, and easy to navigate. In Congress, I introduced the CLEAR ID Act requiring ICE agents to identify themselves and co-lead the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act to limit immigration enforcement at healthcare facilities, schools, courthouses, and houses of worship.
I serve on the Judiciary Committee, the Supreme Court Task Force & am a multi-jurisdictionally licensed attorney of 20 years. We need to expand the court, which has been done 7 times before, and also need ethics reform as this group of justices has revealed itself to be compromised; i.e. Presidential Immunity.
I’m a proud cosponsor of Medicare For All. We must fully cover preventative health care, cap out-of-pocket costs, and eliminate premiums, deductibles, and co-pays. In Congress, I’ve cosponsored bills to: lower drug costs, allow Medicare coverage for cancer early detection screening, and address the mental health crisis by training providers. Our health care system must center patients, not profits

I’m a former middle school teacher, and I’ve served in the Texas House for eight years. As a Democrat in the Republican-controlled House, I’ve proven that I can fight back and win for working people.
We need a government that serves working people instead of giant corporations by: closing tax loopholes that billionaires exploit, raising the corporate tax, raising the tax on corporate stock buybacks, raising the minimum wage to $15, and incentivizing CEOs to raise wages by creating a special tax on corporations that pay their top executives more than 250 times their median worker’s salary.
Our border should be like a front porch — a giant welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. I’d propose modernizing ports of entry to detect threats before they enter the country, hiring more asylum judges to process cases quickly, stopping ICE abuses so they focus on deporting criminals instead of community members, passing the DREAM Act, and creating clear pathways to citizenship.
I will support legislation to ban super PACs, cap campaign contributions, ban partisan gerrymandering and Congressional stock trading, expand voter access by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and impose term limits on Supreme Court justices and hold them to higher ethical standards.
In the legislature, I passed laws capping insulin at $25 and importing cheaper drugs into the US. As Senator, I’ll ensure every American can access a federal healthcare option like Medicare, cap copays for additional prescription drugs, protect reproductive care, and save rural hospitals. I’ll protect Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act and fully fund the VA.
