Strong public schools are absolutely essential for a thriving economy. And until more workers can afford quality healthcare, our job market is nothing to brag about. Investments in education and healthcare are also investments in creating quality jobs. Learn more
Restore the state's share of public school funding to at least 50 percent and use Rainy Day funds to repair the still-devastating consequences of the funding "gap" created by the $4 billion school funding cut that school-privatizer Bohac supported. Learn more
Stop the overuse of standardized testing Learn more
Give teachers and support staff a raise. Learn more
Fix the recapture system to reflect 2019 realities and to stop penalizing districts, including Spring Branch ISD, that are superficially "property rich" but in reality have large populations of students from lower-income families. Learn more

Investments in education and healthcare are also investments in creating quality jobs. Learn more

Texas has a material role to play in saving our oceans and reducing plastic pollution. Learn more
Instead of protecting wildlife, our current Legislature (including Adam's opponent) has passed insane special-interest laws such as allowing coyotes to be shot from hot air balloons. As an attorney, Adam has already worked to protect endangered species, a record he will carry on as our State Representative. Learn more
Texas needs to invest today to assure Houston's place as the green energy capital of the world. Learn more
Texas should increase standards to cut carbon emissions and opt in at the state level to the Paris Climate Accord, which leading energy companies support. Learn more
The Texas Legislature must act now to reduce carbon emissions and support our energy industry's work to transition to 21st century technology. Learn more

Adam supports the self-defense rights of law abiding gun citizens. Learn more
Let's limit access to military-style weapons and invest more in mental healthcare. We can and should do both. Learn more
Criminal background checks on all gun sales. Keeping guns out of the hands of domestic abusers. Keeping guns out of schools, college campuses, and churches. Ending the gun show loophole and banning bump stocks. Promoting responsible gun storage. Learn more
Pass a background check, get trained, receive a permit, and carry your concealed handgun for self defense. These common-sense protections have not stopped law-abiding people from owning handguns, and Texas should expand these reasonable solutions to all types of gun sales. Learn more
Texas has an unacceptably high rate of mothers who die as a result of childbirth complications. We don't need more "blue ribbon commissions" to tell us there's a problem--we need to correct the fact that nearly one third of Texas mothers are uninsured. With rural hospital closings and less funding for pre-natal care, the problem will just keep getting worse. Learn more

Investments in education and healthcare are also investments in creating quality jobs. Learn more
if the Texas legislature really cares about the health of pregnant mothers, let's make sure they can access quality healthcare regardless of income. Learn more

Use federal dollars to expand Texas Medicaid. Learn more
Repeal SB4, the ‘show me your papers’ bill. Learn more

When need political leaders to defuse the culture of hate and carry out Pope Francis's advice to "not let fear get in the way of welcoming our neighbor in need." Learn more
These stunts do nothing to protect public safety; they just overlap with federal efforts and create photo opportunities for politicians. Instead of wasting this $400 million, spend it on our public schools. Learn more
State officials need to exert their oversight role to fix, fine, or shut down these facilities. Learn more
Create and properly fund a 13-county regional Flood Control District to take over and be accountable for all storm water issues. Learn more
Restrict building inside of flood pools and require, in future construction, that builders disclose (in bold, front-page print) to potential buyers that homes are inside flood pools. Learn more
Refuse to accept even $0.01 from the pay-to-play Big Builders and their PACs. Adam will refuse to vote for (let alone sponsor) their special-interest legislation--like the bill Dwayne Bohac sponsored in 2017 to make it cheaper and easier to build 800 homes over the old Pine Crest Golf Course--in the middle of a flood plain! Learn more
Toughen rules for new construction to protect existing homes. Increase fines on builders who break the law and use the funds for flood infrastructure. Learn more
