What will be your top priorities if you are elected?
What uniquely qualifies you for this position?
I’m committed to protecting our kids, lowering taxes and securing the border. We need to address rising costs, and while inflation is driven by decisions in D.C., I will continue to support a balanced budget and fight waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer money in Texas.
I was recognized as Freshman of the Year in my first legislative session for my strong advocacy and accomplishments. I’ve lived in our community for over two decades and have spent many years volunteering in my local church and for other organizations in our community.

What will be your top priorities if you are elected?
What uniquely qualifies you for this position?
My top priorities will be to continue to improve access to health care and grow the privately funded charity clinics I launched without burdening taxpayers. I will continue to improve economic development in Williamson County. As a minority, I will make sure all voices are respected and heard.
I've created apps and methods that help medical personnel implement health care administrative policies for over 25 years. I launched a tech startup in 2010, and further invested in Artificial Intelligence to create next [generation] tech jobs. I served as a board member for the Round Rock Chamber for over five years.

My top priorities are funding our public schools; increasing access to health care, including abortion, [in vitro fertilization], and contraception; expanding voting rights; protecting the environment; and fighting for equality for all Texans. I’ve also passed laws creating jobs, supporting economic development and tourism, and increasing economic opportunity in Williamson County.
I’m a consensus builder and proven leader who has been effective in bringing people together to solve the problems we face. While I am consistently among the most progressive members of the legislature, I am firmly committed to the Texas House’s traditions of bipartisanship and thoughtful deliberation.
