Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Sara McGee, a longtime Katy-area resident, healthcare leader, mother, and candidate for Texas House District 132.

I’m not a career politician. I’ve spent my career in healthcare, including years in leadership, where I’ve been responsible for people, budgets, operations, and solving problems when the stakes are high. I also know what it is like to struggle. I raised my children here, worked my way through school as a single mother, and built a career and a life in the community I now hope to represent.

I decided to run because I believe our state government has become too focused on political battles and too disconnected from the everyday problems Texas families are trying to solve. People want good public schools, affordable homes, access to healthcare, safe communities, reliable infrastructure, and an economy where working hard still gives you a chance to get ahead.

I believe representatives should be accessible, independent, and accountable to the people who elect them. I am running to bring practical leadership and the perspective of someone who has actually lived and worked in this community to the Texas Legislature.

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?

Strengthening public education: Texas has a constitutional responsibility to provide a strong system of public education, and I believe our public schools should be treated as an investment in our communities rather than a political bargaining chip. I support increasing the state’s investment in public schools, improving teacher compensation and retention, strengthening special education, and reducing the pressure that rising local property values place on school districts and taxpayers. I oppose using public dollars for private school voucher programs. Our priority should be making every neighborhood public school a school parents are proud to send their children to.Make Texas more affordable: Families in House District 132 are feeling squeezed by property taxes, housing costs, insurance, healthcare, utilities, and everyday expenses. I want Texas to use its resources to reduce the burden on homeowners without undermining public schools and essential local services. I support targeted property-tax relief, greater transparency and accountability for corporate tax incentives, and policies that strengthen the ability of working and middle-class Texans to build financial security. Economic growth matters, but Texans should be able to see that growth reflected in their own quality of life.Expand access to healthcare: I have spent much of my career in healthcare, and I have seen firsthand what happens when patients cannot get care early enough. Texas has long had one of the largest uninsured populations in the country, and too many families delay care because of cost or lack of access. I support expanding access to affordable healthcare, strengthening maternal and mental healthcare, protecting rural and community hospitals, and addressing shortages in our healthcare workforce. Healthcare policy should focus on patients, outcomes, and keeping Texans healthy rather than allowing preventable problems to become expensive emergencies.
