Our air, water, and land are being poisoned by big polluters, while the U.S. wages wars and coups for oil, all so a few banks, billionaires, and corporations can profit.
Rather than working for big donors or billionaires, I want to represent our community – to invest in our people instead of unjust foreign wars. Let’s stand up for our kids, our public schools, Medicare for All, affordable housing, and everything we need to be healthier and happier.
Data centers, chemical plants, the planned LNG export terminals, and the SpaceX launch site near Brownsville threaten our South Texas way of life. Let’s invest in cheap clean renewable energy like solar and wind with utility-scale batteries, and end the dirty warmongering fossil fuel industry.
I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran, and after the military I had a second career as a classroom teacher. I’ve seen U.S. foreign policy up close, in Europe and the Middle East, and I’ve also worked with thousands of students and families here in South Texas. These experiences showed me the huge impacts government policies have, both good and bad.
I am incorruptible because I don't care about power or money, I care about good policies for a better future for our people and our planet.
Green Party candidates don’t take campaign donations from corporate PACs or foreign interest lobbyists. I will only accept grassroots donations from individual donors, because I want to represent the people of this district, not big money donors nor billionaires.
The thing I hear about most often from South Texas voters is corruption. A lot of people have told me they feel voting is pointless, and politicians are all corrupt.
I tell them I am running to be a different type of candidate – running without corporate PAC or lobbyist donations, and running with the Green Party, which also doesn’t take corporate PAC or lobbyist donations.
So, I will be able to do something different: be a true representative of our community, not billionaires and corporations.
Abolish ICE, cut military spending by at least 50%, and address global warming impacts that are already harming South Texas (heat domes, heat waves, power outages, droughts, crop failures, and more powerful tropical storms.)
I will work with progressives, centrists, fiscal conservatives, libertarians, and anyone in Congress who agrees that our tax money should be used to invest in our communities, not for harassing and detaining our neighbors at home, nor unjust wars and genocide. A better, more just, more peaceful world is very possible.
Free Palestine, Sudan, Congo, and oppressed people everywhere.
