“Schools: We must end this "Voucher" scam, that is nothing more than a rebate of your tax dollars to the ultra wealthy, at our local schools detriment.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“Rural Texas: We must have someone in Austin who will advocate for our small, rural towns and cities. We must level the playing field for these cities, so that state money isn't allocated exclusively to large cities, with large populations, that have a tax base to cover such needs.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“I am running to give Texans in District 86 a real choice for their future. After more than 20 years of Republican dominance, Texans in District 86 deserve a leader who represents everyone fairly, not just special interests, corporations, and the billionaire class.” (Campaign website (cullinfortexas.com))
