Media interview
Stout highlighted the following themes in an interview with San Antonio Report on January 8, 2026. The questions from San Antonio Report are bolded and Stout's responses follow below.[2]
Briefly describe your top policy priorities.
The cost of living and raising a family is climbing dramatically. We must have a fair economy and that starts with a fair tax code. I don’t believe we should be giving billionaires tax cuts at a time when we are debating whether vulnerable children should have food provided by SNAP benefits. We need a tax code which empowers the middle class and raises people from poverty into the middle class.
I believe our country should make historic investments in universal Pre-K, which would provide a solid educational foundation for the next generation of Americans and provide much needed relief to working families. I believe we should invest in families and strengthen our workforce by requiring paid parental leave which can be supported by utilizing current unemployment insurance programs.[3]
