Get StartedFrom banning private prisons that incentivize incarceration to changing how we handle mental health/substance abuse and ensuring prisoners are adequately cared for while serving their sentences, our justice system needs to modernize. Although declining, recidivism rates illustrate that the current model isn’t doing enough to set up prisoners for success when they’re released, and far too often they end up behind bars again.

Rather than continuing to enforce Texas’ cannabis prohibition, which has disproportionately targeted minorities, we should make the system safer by regulating its sale. In 2024, recreational marijuana will be legal in 24 states, where it’s providing millions in tax revenue and keeping people from the revolving door of our prison system. Learn more
When our dams failed and lakes were drained, the powers-that-be in Austin refused to help, leaving local citizens and officials to organize solutions on their own. Water rights, land use, and a reliable electric grid are critical to our way of life, and we need a voice in Austin unafraid to challenge the status quo. Learn more
Now more than ever, state politicians are prying their way into our personal lives. Eric believes we need a check on Austin's power, and to return decision-making authority to local communities and individual families - away from Austin, where big money, out-of-state interests have a chokehold on state politics.

A majority of Texans support mandatory safe storage rules, raising the minimum age to purchase an assault rifle, and other common-sense measures, so why haven’t we taken these steps? These changes can be made while respecting the Constitutional right to bear arms.

Texas is growing faster than its supply of housing, and costs have skyrocketed. Older homeowners face soaring valuations and struggle to pay property taxes while young families find themselves priced out. Cities should be empowered to smartly increase the pace and affordability of new housing and critical economic development initiatives so Texas can be an affordable place to live again. Learn more
In the end, militarizing the border doesn’t address why people are fleeing their counties in the first place - to do that we need to address climate change, and increase our support for economic and political stability around the world. Learn more
Securing the border and immigration reform are federal issues yet we’ve spent nearly 12B of state funds on ‘Operation Lone Star’ (OLS). Despite trying to portray immigrants as criminals, US Nationals are responsible for 86% of OLS arrests for drug offenses, and 90% of OLS weapons offenses according to the DPS. That 12B should have gone to our public schools, infrastructure improvements, and providing healthcare access to millions of Texans. Learn more
