Get StartedI will work every day to curtail those laws or, preferably, to repeal them altogether. My belief is that they would be rejected at the ballot box if Texans only had a chance to vote on them, and I will advocate for a reproductive-freedom amendment to the state constitution in order to prevent politicans from ever taking away women's rights again.

I am determined to do everything within my power to restore a woman's right to choose. My ultimate hope would be for the U.S. Supreme Court to return to precedent and respect its own decision in Roe v Wade. But meanwhile, we have to face the reality that extremists in the Texas legislature have enacted some of the most restrictive anti-choice laws anywhere. Learn more
For years, marriage equality has been the law of the land. Regrettably, the U.S. Supreme Court can no longer be counted on to uphold it. If necessary, I will defend continued marriage equality in Texas against anyone who may try to undermine it. Learn more

I will support the establishment of a nonpartisan redistricting commission with representation from ordinary people, from which career politicians will be barred. We need stable, fairly drawn districts that will ensure representation for everyone. Learn more

Texas should join them. Even if it's a far cry from solving all the problems with our health-care system, it's an achievable reform that will help a lot of people rest easier at night. Learn more
I will work to curtail abatements and make data centers pay their fair share. With additional revenue for state and local budgets, property-tax relief will become significantly easier. Learn more
Texans who work hard every single day shouldn't be asked to get by on 7.25 an hour. Since Congress has failed to raise the federal minimum wage to keep pace with inflation, it's time for our legislators in Austin to step up. A new state minimum of 10 an hour will make life a little easier for a lot of people. Learn more
