As a Tejana from rural Texas, I'm proud to have helped build multiple successful tech startups over the past decade. I'm also a mom exhausted with our country's lack of childcare and health care.

We need to comprehensively reform our campaign finance laws to get billionaire and corporate money out of politics. Today, unless you come from wealth and powerful connections, it's almost impossible to run for office. Ideas: Publicly funded elections, launch civics and media literacy initiatives, regulate online attention economy, vote-by-mail, term limits, and holding accountable the bad actors.
Give immigrants a fair and humane path to citizenship. If you’re here and want to work, we should make it easy: get them social security numbers so they can work and start paying taxes. If they keep a clean record, let them become citizens. We need to fix the visa processing bottlenecks, address the gaps that allow child migrant workers, and force a culture reset by forming a new agency.
When it comes to protecting democracy around the world, our role should involve less aggressive posturing (end the unaccountable funding of weapons and war) and more focused on promoting global education and diplomacy. Honestly, our economic interests would work themselves out if we adequately funded childcare, healthcare, education, and mental health care for the American people instead of wars.
With aquifers and wells dwindling from climate change and multinational corporate overuse, the federal government must review all water rights laws so vulnerable communities don’t run out of water. Prioritize weatherization of electrical grids and housing insulation. Train and transition workers to the clean energy industry as we continue to invest in solar, wind, nuclear, and other renewables.
