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?

Healthcare-Every Texan should have access to healthcare. It’s a human right. But we shouldn’t have to go into debt to be healthy. We have a daughter who is disabled, and we understand the struggles involved in trying to get the care she needs.

We have a 2-year-old granddaughter who has already had two surgeries and will need more as she gets older. Families in our state, our city, our very neighborhoods are having to choose between medicine and food. That is not the way it should be. I will fight to ensure every Texan has affordable healthcare options.

Finding Solutions:

-Protect, expand, and strengthen the ACA

-Extend premium tax credits indefinitely

-Lower prescription drug costs

-Eliminate pre-existing condition refusal of coverageVoting-Greg Abbott and his lackeys have moved the goalposts in Texas by implementing a mid-decade redrawing of Texas' congressional districts. And they did it by bullying their legislation through the Texas courts. This gerrymandering is particularly abusive because, with new fine-grained data on the population, we can see how people are likely to vote.

Republicans are doing Trump's dirty work to try to keep a majority in the US House. With a US Supreme Court firmly in Trump's court, the Texas Democratic legislature must work to undo this act that violates the voice of Texans.

Our democracy works best when every voice is heard.

Finding Solutions:

-Expanding access to ballot boxes

-Ensure fair district maps

-Eliminate voter suppressionImmigration-Less than 30% of ICE detainees in Texas have a criminal record. How many of those members of our community help put food on Texans' tables, are our neighbors, or sit beside us in the pew on Sunday?

This cruel and shortsighted agenda is the wrong path to a legally secure border. Texas resources and our local criminal justice systems have become the main funnel sending undocumented immigrants into ICE custody, and are being used to fund and aid Trump’s morally bankrupt immigration system.

Finding solutions:

-Modernizing the legal pathway to citizenship

-Enhance stronger border security

-Fund technology applications for security

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education-This is an issue that is very close to my heart. I am a retired Special Education para, a calling that spoke to my heart. I saw the struggles my students' families went through to get the services their children needed. I saw the struggles my fellow teachers went through every day to provide a comprehensive learning space for their students. The struggle is real. They pour their heart and souls into it, and we keep expecting more and more from them, without adequate compensation and support.

Finding Solutions:

-Fully fund public education

-Raise teacher pay and compensation

-Ensure there is adequate research funding and grants for Texas colleges

-Eliminate the billionaire-funded voucher program
