Get StartedI’ll champion maternal health initiatives that reduce mortality rates, expand prenatal care, and support families after childbirth. Protecting reproductive freedom and improving family health care are not opposing goals – they are essential parts of respecting women and strengthening families. Learn more
Health care decisions belong to women, not politicians. I’ll defend a woman’s right to make personal medical choices – including access to contraception and abortion – without government interference. These are private matters of health, faith, and family that should remain between a woman and her doctor. Learn more
The right to vote is sacred – it’s what makes our democracy work. I will stand against any effort to suppress voting or weaken public confidence in elections. That means restoring the Voting Rights Act, making Election Day more accessible, and ensuring secure, transparent ballot systems. Texans of every party deserve to know their voices are heard and their votes are counted. Learn more
Racial equity also means addressing historical inequities through targeted investment in underserved communities. When we lift up those who’ve been left behind, we build a stronger, more unified America. I’ll work for progress that honors both justice and shared prosperity. Learn more
I’ll also promote rehabilitation and re-entry programs that reduce recidivism and give people a real chance to rebuild their lives. Non-violent offenders should have access to education, job training, and counseling instead of a revolving door back to prison. Smart justice strengthens families, reduces costs, and keeps our communities safer. Learn more
I’ll support reforms that improve policing standards, emphasize de-escalation training, and ensure accountability when misconduct occurs. We can respect law enforcement while ensuring that everyone they serve is treated with dignity and fairness. Learn more
Our district is home to many proud veterans who’ve served this country with honor. I’ll make it my mission to ensure they receive the health care, education, and job opportunities they’ve earned. That means fully funding the VA, expanding access to mental health care, and streamlining benefits for those who’ve waited too long. Learn more
I’ll work to raise teacher pay, modernize classrooms, and expand school-based support services. Our teachers deserve respect, resources, and freedom to teach without political interference. Learn more
I’ll fight to expand technical and workforce programs at local community colleges and universities. Students should be able to earn credentials in high-demand fields like welding, instrumentation, and maritime logistics without taking on crushing debt. When we invest in education, we’re investing in the economic and civic future of Southeast Texas. Learn more
Our workforce is the heart of this region, and it deserves a representative who knows how the economy works from the inside out. I’ll champion policies that expand job training, apprenticeships, and partnerships between colleges, unions, and employers to prepare people for high-wage, high-demand careers. Learn more
Our coastal communities face flooding, hurricanes, and industrial challenges that demand investment in mitigation and modernization. I’ll fight for funding that strengthens our levees, protects our bays, and makes sure Southeast Texas remains an energy leader for the 21st century – balancing progress with stewardship of our environment. Learn more
Clean air, clean water, and safe communities are not partisan goals – they’re essential rights. Southeast Texas has long carried the weight of industrial production, and we know both its benefits and its risks. I’ll support smart, enforceable environmental standards that protect public health while keeping our refineries, ports, and manufacturing facilities competitive and compliant. We can grow jobs without sacrificing the health of our families. Learn more
I’ll advocate for stronger coastal restoration, industrial safety oversight, and emergency response funding to ensure our communities are protected from industrial spills and natural disasters. Our children deserve to inherit both economic opportunity and a livable environment. Learn more
I believe we can protect good-paying refinery and petrochemical jobs while also leading in the next generation of clean energy innovation. Texas should be the national hub for energy independence – producing oil, gas, hydrogen, and renewables right here at home. Supporting responsible production and new technologies will keep our energy sector strong and our workers employed. Learn more
We must also address the growing influence of money in politics and gerrymandering that silences communities. I’ll support redistricting reform and campaign finance transparency so voters—not special interests – decide elections. Democracy thrives when everyone, regardless of zip code or political label, can fully participate in shaping their future. Learn more
I support the Second Amendment and the rights of responsible gun owners, but I also believe in common-sense safety measures like universal background checks, red flag laws, and secure firearm storage. These are not partisan ideas – they’re steps supported by most Americans, including gun owners, to keep our families safe. Learn more
Every Texan deserves affordable, dependable health care that puts people before profits. In our district, too many families skip doctor visits or prescriptions because the costs are just too high. I’ll work to lower out-of-pocket expenses, reduce drug prices, and strengthen the Affordable Care Act so it delivers real results for working families. We must protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, expand access to mental health care, and ensure that every Texan can see a doctor when they need one. Learn more
Preparedness also means addressing local challenges such as hurricanes and industrial accidents that strain our health systems. I’ll advocate for federal resources to make Southeast Texas more resilient – from upgraded emergency shelters to improved communication systems. Protecting public health protects our economy and our way of life. Learn more
Southeast Texas has unique challenges, from rural provider shortages to hospital closures and hurricane recovery needs. I’ll fight for targeted federal investments that bring clinics, telehealth options, and mobile health units to underserved communities. Health care should be a guarantee of citizenship, not a privilege of wealth. Learn more
I’ll work with local leaders to expand affordable housing options, reform outdated zoning policies, and increase federal support for home ownership programs that help first-time buyers and veterans. Learn more
Homelessness, especially among veterans and young people, demands real solutions. I’ll support partnerships between nonprofits, local governments, and private developers to create housing that is both affordable and accessible. Every Texan deserves a safe place to call home – and a fair shot at the American dream. Learn more
I believe in protecting Dreamers and creating pathways for those who contribute to our communities and economy. Learn more
We should strengthen partnerships with faith-based and community organizations that help refugees rebuild their lives and contribute to our economy. Many refugees go on to become proud citizens, workers, and business owners who enrich our nation’s story. Upholding American ideals begins with treating all people with dignity. Learn more
In Southeast Texas, we depend on immigrant labor in construction, agriculture, and our ports. These workers deserve fair treatment and clear rules – not fear and exploitation. I’ll work for bipartisan reform that secures our borders, respects human dignity, and supports the industries that keep our district moving forward. Learn more
I will defend and strengthen programs like Social Security, Medicare, and food assistance while expanding workforce development so people can move from poverty into stable employment. These aren’t handouts – they’re ladders of opportunity that help families get back on their feet. Learn more
I’ll fight to close corporate tax loopholes and end price-gouging practices that make record profits for big corporations while families struggle. A balanced, pragmatic approach – rooted in economic fairness and fiscal discipline – can restore stability and opportunity to every household in our community. Learn more
I’ll fight for a fair tax code that asks corporations and the ultra-wealthy to pay their share while protecting middle-class families, veterans, and small businesses. Washington must learn to spend wisely, not wastefully, and prioritize investments that actually strengthen communities. Learn more
Balancing the budget doesn’t mean cutting vital programs like Social Security or Medicare—it means eliminating inefficiency, fraud, and giveaways to special interests. I’ll bring a practical, accountant’s eye to Congress, ensuring taxpayers get value for every dollar spent and that our nation lives within its means without leaving anyone behind. Learn more
I’ll stand up for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right of workers to organize and negotiate collectively. No one working full time should live in poverty, and no worker should have to choose between their job and their health. Learn more
