Get StartedI will push for legislation that supports women's access to healthcare services, so that women can make informed decisions about their health and future. Learn more
Finally, I will fight for stronger laws to prevent and punish violence against women, so that everyone in the county can live in a safe and secure environment. Learn more
As your representative, I will author and vote for legislation that supports our public schools, students and teachers. I will fight to fund our schools and provide our teachers with a permanent pay raise. I will push to diversify our tax system by legalizing gambling to allow for more funds to be poured into our public school. I believe there are real, common sense solutions that can solve this issue and I will be a staunch advocate for our public schools. Learn more
As your state representative, I will work to pass legislation that will create a more reliable power grid that is supported with multiple energy sources, including oil, natural gas, solar, and wind. I believe we can create a system that can support the ninth largest economy in the world and help lower our rising utility bills. Learn more
I support our local businesses who are literally begging for workers to take jobs that Americans are not taking - jobs in dairies, farms, food production plants and construction sites - by expanding the number of temporary work visas for those whose claims have been legally processed, are in the U.S. Legally and are simply awaiting their immigration judge to rule on their case. I want to roll my sleeves up and work with legislators, on both our state and federal level - especially those who live in and represent our border communities - to come up with common sense, bi-partisian solutions to finally address this political and humanitarian crisis.

To address gender inequality in McLennan County, I will work to raise awareness of the issues and the policies that perpetuate them.

I will also work to strengthen the foster care system in the county by partnering with local organizations to create a network of support for foster youth. Learn more
I support the increase of the homestead exemption from 40% to 100% recently adopted by the Texas voters because it will give us permanent property tax relief for Texas homeowners. However, in the last legislative session, the Texas legislature passed a very temporary and very expensive property tax relief by using our large budget surplus to buy down our property taxes for the next two years. Three years from now, our property taxes will skyrocket again when the surplus is gone. Learn more
We need a leader that will bring our hard-earned tax dollars back to McLennan County. We deserve someone who will listen to our community to understand in greater detail what our district needs from Austin, and then fight for those needs in the Texas House of Representatives. Learn more
