“I am ensuring TxDOT has the resources it needs to complete the 1604 North Expansion without delay and am pleased to say that the segment from I-10 to Highway 281 will be completed later this year. I am also drafting and supporting legislation aimed at responsible development and clean water.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (February 2, 2026))
“Last year, I was able to deliver Prop 4 to the voters, who passed it on the November ballot. That legislation dedicates a billion dollars annually to water and flood infrastructure.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (February 2, 2026))

“We must insure that Texans have clean air, clean water and clean, reliable energy. In doing that we must regulate corporations to not pollute our natural resources and pay their fair share of taxes, lifting the burden off of households and small businesses in our community.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“We need to provide every child a strong public school system which means funding pre-K. We must provide evidence-based comprehensive sex education at age appropriate levels. And we need to ensure that not another single dollar is given to vouchers which have been shown to be a handout to wealthy families at the expense of our public schools.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“The reality is that there are so many things that can be done RIGHT NOW and then so much more once we reach some stabilization and sanity. There is a severe lack of medical experts in the Texas Legislature, so the decisions are being made by people with little knowledge of the human body or how the healthcare system actually works.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
