Where I Stand

Ensure the legislature places the public interest above special interests in addressing our critical education, health care, transportation, and economic needs.

Make government more accountable to citizens

• Create an independent citizens' commission to handle redistricting
• Limit political contributions and spending
• Keep corporate money out of our political system
• Protect prosecutors who expose political corruption from retaliation by politicians

Ensure excellence in our schools

• Make public schools the state's top funding priority
• Treat teachers like the professionals they are
• Ensure that every Texan can afford to take advantage of our public universities, colleges, and technical schools

Address critical transportation needs

• Improve our transportation system so we can spend less time in traffic and more time with our families
• Prevent conversion of taxpayer-funded roadways to toll roads

Increase access to health care

• Restore funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
• Encourage "portable" benefits that enable workers to take entrepreneurial risks without jeopardizing their families' access to medical care

Preserve our environment

• Protect Central Texas's natural environment and preserve ample open space for generations to come
• Address air pollution challenges before the federal government imposes restrictions on business growth
