Education funding and policy decisions begin in Austin-and those decisions over the past two decades have been wrong.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))

“Education, women’s reproductive rights, campaign finance reform, social justice, upholding our Constitutional norms and democracy” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))

“This is, by definition, what our democracy is. The inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No law should restrict what you choose to do with your own body.” (Campaign website (bethfor97.com))
