For more than 20 years, I have worked as an anti-corruption attorney fighting fraud, rooting out corruption, and holding powerful people accountable. That work taught me how to follow the facts, solve complex problems, and stand up for people when the system fails them.
Raised by a single mother, I know firsthand the difference strong public schools can make. Texas public schools gave me the opportunity to attend law school and build a successful career, and I believe every child deserves that same opportunity.
I am running to put that experience to work by rooting out corruption that drives up costs, protecting taxpayer dollars, strengthening public schools, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and making government work.
I support expanding Medicaid so Texas stops leaving billions in federal healthcare dollars on the table while families remain uninsured and hospitals and working families absorb the cost.
I will fight to lower prescription drug and insurance costs, expand community health centers, and invest in behavioral health workers, crisis care, and mental health services in public schools.
I have spent my career fighting fraud and corruption and holding powerful interests accountable. I will bring that same approach to Austin: follow the money, put patients and working families ahead of special interests, and fight for affordable, accessible healthcare for every Texas family.
Every Texas child deserves a strong public school, but corruption and powerful special interests in Austin have distorted our priorities. While public schools face inadequate funding, teacher shortages, and closures, my opponent backed a voucher scheme that funnels tax dollars to private schools.
I will fight to increase the basic allotment, raise teacher pay, invest in special education and school safety, and ensure funding keeps pace with rising costs. I will also demand strict accountability for every dollar spent through vouchers.
I have spent my career fighting fraud and corruption. In Austin, I will follow the money, expose waste and self-dealing, and fight to put our tax dollars where they belong: classrooms, teachers, and schools.
The two most pressing issues in my district are rising costs and underfunded public schools. Both are tied to corruption and misplaced priorities in Austin that put special interests ahead of working families.
Families are being squeezed by high property taxes, skyrocketing home insurance, healthcare and everyday expenses. I will fight for property tax relief, insurance accountability, and oversight of taxpayer dollars.
Our public schools are also being starved of resources, forcing schools to close while Austin funds a voucher scheme benefiting the wealthy. I will fight to increase the basic allotment, raise teacher pay, keep neighborhood schools open, and root out the corruption putting special interests ahead of our families.
