Texas State House District 69

“In the US, we pay twice as much for healthcare than the rest of the first world, for similar outcomes. This is because we don’t have a true market in healthcare. To make healthcare and insurance affordable, we must bring transparency, competition, and engaged patients.” (Campaign website (votejamesfrank.com))

“Over 7 million illegal immigrants have entered the US through the southern border since President Biden took office. The federal government continues to neglect its duty to secure our southern border, resulting in a dangerous humanitarian crisis.” (Campaign website (votejamesfrank.com))

“The two most important factors in a child’s education success are involved parents and great teachers. When the Legislature considers public school finance and other education reforms, we must do a better job of prioritizing parents and teachers.” (Campaign website (votejamesfrank.com))

“North Texas has lived with drought-driven water shortages for far too long, and it’s time for the state to step up with real, sustained solutions. As progressive Democrats, we believe water is a public good—essential for families, schools, healthcare, agriculture, and economic stability.” (Campaign website (barnettfortexas.org))

“State-supported solutions must begin with modernizing our water infrastructure. Aging pipes, leaking systems, and outdated treatment facilities waste millions of gallons each year. Investing in repairs and high-efficiency technology not only conserves water but creates good-paying jobs across North Texas.” (Campaign website (barnettfortexas.org))

“We also need a statewide commitment to expanding drought-resilient sources: aquifer storage and recovery, advanced water recycling, and environmentally responsible desalination where feasible. Equally important is protecting the watersheds that keep our reservoirs alive.” (Campaign website (barnettfortexas.org))
