In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“For years, I've lived in a district - and frankly, a state - where many assume Democrats can't win and often don't even try. That wasn't a good enough answer”
“Health care should be affordable and accessible, period. Texas consistently has the highest uninsured rate in the nation. In Congress, I'll lower drug costs, protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, expand mental health and addiction services, end surprise billing, support rural and community providers, and close the coverage gap by strengthening the ACA and advocating for Medicaid expansion.”
“I'm tired of watching hardworking people be ignored by a political system built for the loudest and most powerful. We need real people in Congress - parents, veterans, neighbors - who understand the challenges families face and who work for their communities, not special interests.”
“I'm running so everyone in our district has the opportunity to succeed, not just get by. That means affordable, accessible health care, real economic opportunity, and a federal government that delivers for our community, not special interests.”
“I'm an Army veteran, working mom, and business leader who shows up, listens, does the hard work, and never forgets who I serve. I lead with honesty, clarity, and backbone - the kind of leadership our government desperately needs. In Congress, I'll put people over party, champion our community, and run a transparent, accountable, and inclusive office.”
