As a Fort Bend County native with an educational and professional background in healthcare, education, and public administration, I believe that healthcare and education are two of the greatest issues facing our constituents today. Over the last few legislative sessions, we have seen Texas Republicans in office reject funds for Medicaid expansion. In fact, Texas residents paid $36.2 billion in federal taxes between 2014 and 2024 that were allocated towards Medicaid funding in other states that had expanded coverage. As your State Representative, I’ll fight to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and effective for Texans. That means expanding rural hospitals, boosting mental health services in schools, and making telehealth a permanent, statewide option. I’ll work to reduce prescription drug costs, improve maternal health, and ensure every child has access to a school nurse. By focusing on prevention, early care, and community-based solutions, we can keep Texans healthier, lower costs for families, and make sure no one is left behind when they need care.

During the last legislative session, we saw the Republicans funnel taxpayer money to fund charter schools through the use of vouchers, which do not have to educate all children and operate with little transparency.  As your State Representative, I’ll work to strengthen Texas schools and give every child the tools to succeed to ensure that our students are prepared to be productive members of the global society in which we live. That means raising teacher pay to attract and keep the best educators, expanding early childhood and literacy programs, and boosting career and technical education so students graduate ready for college or high-paying jobs. I’ll fight to modernize classrooms, reduce over-testing, and make sure every student has a safe, supportive, and high-quality learning environment. Strong schools mean a stronger Texas economy!

​

Without an educated society, we are destined to see our economy fail. However, as your State Representative, my focus will be on building a stronger Texas economy that works for everyone. I’ll push to invest in high-paying job training programs, expand rural broadband so every community can compete, and support small businesses with targeted grants and tax relief. We’ll modernize infrastructure, attract innovative industries, and protect our agricultural backbone. By cutting unnecessary red tape and investing in our people, we can create more opportunities, raise wages, and keep Texas the best place to live, work, and build a future.
