Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Republicans have sold our dignity and future for meager handouts from the cabal of billionaire pedophiles and bigots. They have given away our future for momentary political power. We, the people, must claw back the America that has been stolen from us!I don't care if you are a Democrat, hate Democrats, or don't care either way... Democrats are the only ones who have stood up to the the people giving away your future. Democrats want every working man or woman to have access to the American dream. We don't have to agree on everything, but let's agree that we need an America that works for all Americans.If saving our nation and our democracy from criminals and traitors is not enough for you, then a 3rd reason will be meaningless.

Wu's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[15]

Public Education

Excerpt: "As your State Representative I will be a committed fighter for public education. I will see that Austin works to support parents, teachers and school children. Furthermore, I promise to vote against any decrease in public education funding."

Safe Neighborhoods

Excerpt: "Crime is the most important issue for Southwest Houston. Our law enforcement budgets are stretched thin, and we have to decide on a new set of priorities. As a Felony Prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, I understand the strain on our criminal justice system. Our office accepts more than 100,000 criminal cases that range from petty thefts to capital murder. We have to decide how we want police officers and prosecutors to utilize their limited time and resources."

Grow our economy

Excerpt: "We need jobs; good jobs that provide a livable wage. We must encourage companies to move into our community by making sure they have the tools for success. That means we need a large educated work force and a good quality of life for their families. Our state should invest in capital improvements and repair existing public infrastructure."
