To restore faith in our institutions, we must hold elected officials accountable for their actions. Talking points while you're campaigning is not enough. Our politicians must work on behalf of their constituents- by introducing and passing legislation. In order to protect our democracy, we must continue to fight voter suppression at every turn.
Immigration changes needed among others: Place undocumented immigrants in U.S. without criminal record on a path to citizenship including Dreamers, pass a state-based guest-worker program, hire more immigration judges to address backlog of cases, establish processing centers in Central & South America to reduce activity at border, upgrade cameras and sensors at border to assist Border Patrol.
The United States should be playing an active role in protecting democracy across the world primarily through diplomacy. Every decision that U.S. makes from a foreign policy standpoint should be guided by the objective of protecting our nation's interests and security. Aid and support should be evaluated on a continuous basis to ensure our domestic needs are also being addressed.
Climate change is an issue that greatly affects Texas. I will support legislation to reduce carbon emissions and invest in Texas’s renewable energy in order to ensure that our communities sustain themselves.
