Get StartedMihaela is the only pro-choice state official in Collin County. Learn more
Mihaela is a proud ally of the LGBTQ community and supports marriage equality, non-discrimination, and equal rights and protections for all people. For far too long Texas has been a hostile state for the LGBTQ community and has driven many families to flee the state. Mihaela opposes any and every effort to vilify, dehumanize, discriminate, and attack the LGBTQ community. Learn more
Mihaela is proud to author and support legislation that increases benefits for our military families and veterans, programs that help veterans get back on their feet, and policies to prevent homelessness, incarceration, and suicide among veterans. Learn more
Mihaela has supported business growth through fortifying our energy, transportation, water, and broadband infrastructure while supporting sensible immigration and trade policies, and economic development incentives to bring tens of thousands of high-paying jobs to Collin County. Learn more
Mihaela knows firsthand the value of fully funding public schools. When Mihaela was young she attended Brinker Elementary in Plano ISD, when the state was funding more than 50% of the cost of public education. Texas has not fully funded our public schools for almost two decades and in the state that boasts the ninth largest economy in the world—that is unacceptable. It is Mihaela’s goal that Texas reform recapture so that Plano ISD is not forced to run deficits, that teachers are paid a fair salary, and public education is protected by stopping vouchers.

Texas is the number one producer of wind energy, oil, natural gas, hydropower, and renewable energy in the nation. Texas is also the second largest producer of solar power in our country. In a state that is blessed with so many natural resources and so energy rich, there is no justification for our failing grid. We must secure our grid through diversifying our energy sources, investing in sustainable renewable energy, and strengthening reliability and consumer protections for electricity customers.

Mihaela supports common sense gun safety laws including red flag laws, universal background checks, raising the age to purchase semi-automatic rifles, safe storage laws, repealing Texas’ permitless carry law, and reinstituting concealed handgun license requirements. Learn more
Mihaela is committed to lowering the cost of prescription drugs, insurance premiums and copays, and bringing transparency to medical billing. We cannot allow price gougers and greedy executives to take advantage of hardworking Texans and their families. Learn more
Texans living with a disability are entitled to the same rights, protections, and freedoms as everyone else. Texans with disabilities have made remarkable contributions to our state and society and we owe it to them to ensure our society is a welcoming and accommodating one. Mihaela is proud to support efforts for our state to become more inclusive, accessible, and anti-discriminatory towards disabled people. Learn more
The local governments are also in charge of funding public schools and when the state shortchanges our investment in public schools, then the local governments must raise property taxes to cover the difference. Another way for the state to fund lasting property tax relief is by diversifying our tax revenue sources by creating new revenue through legalizing cannabis and gambling. Learn more
