With district boundaries and representation changing, I will make sure no community is left behind by building a strong, accessible constituent services operation. Through neighborhood outreach, mobile oces, digital tools and the Federal Community Advisory Board (FCAB), residents will have clear access to resources, timely support, and a direct line ... No matter how district lines change, I’ll keep ‚ghting to bring resources home. I’ve secured funding for community projects, rail grade separations, energy transition work at the Port, and pollution control services. I know how to deliver federal dollars and will continue doing that for families across the new TX-29. With district boundaries and representation changing, how will you ensure your constituents have the resources they need?

What would your top priorities be if elected?

Top priorities: universal healthcare to cover the uninsured; fully funded public schools with local control; living wages and green jobs to lift poverty; climate resilience against “ooding; criminal justice reform and expanded voting rights to empower our majority Black and Latino community.

Candidate did not respond to questionnaire by press time.

My top priorities are improving healthcare access, creating jobs, supporting education, addressing environmental risks, and strengthening community safety and equity in District 142. I will focus on policies that empower residents, support Black-owned businesses, and ensure every neighborhood thrives with opportunity, resources, and fair representation.

The newly redrawn 29th is a new opportunity. I have represented most of this district already and know its needs. I will provide clear communication, strong constituent services, and visible leadership to unite communities and ensure no one is left behind.
