1) PUBLIC SAFETY
• I propose legislation to enhance penalties
for human trafficking to first-degree
felonies, increase state funding for border
interdiction operations targeting fentanyl
and trafficking networks, and establish
dedicated task forces for coordinating with
federal agencies on resource
reimbursement and enforcement along the
Texas-Mexico border

1. Crime and Community Safety. HD 137 has 2 zip codes that are on FBI's list for being the most dangerous in the country. I will work to improve public safety to remove those zip codes from the FBI watch list.
2. Low income. Income per capita is 30-40% below Harris county average. I would like to focus my attention on skilled trade job training and job opportunities - This is a big one and is striking a chord. The income level of the district is 30-40% below Harris County average. Re-introduce skilled trade jobs into HISD and bring that training to adults who want to learn a skilled trade. This is overwhelmingly supported by the voters and Proposition #1 passed 70% in November 2025 by Texas voters.
