“I do not recall my request for his presence as being optional. It is beyond clear that Commissioner Christian has willfully chosen to defy this committee. A sitting commissioner absconding from his agency’s oversight hearing is nothing more than a mockery of the Texas legislature and the legislative process.” (The Texas Tribune (Sept. 2026))

“There is no part of public policy that I am not passionate about, because public policy affects every one of us whether we choose to engage with it or not. As the child of two public servants who served on their respective boards, I grew up around unions and learned early the importance of worker rights, safety, and collective advocacy.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“I believe our policies should reflect the realities of rural families, not corporate interests or political talking points. I’ve spent years organizing, advocating, and showing up for my community, from public schools and early childhood programs to water security, agriculture, healthcare access, and economic stability.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
