I have been State Representative for HD 139 since 2016. Prior to that I served as Houston City Councilman for District B for three terms. I have a proven track record working for the constituents of District 139 at the State House. I’ve spent the past 7 years working at the State Capitol to create and pass legislation that brings positive change to the constituents of HD 139. I’ve brought back millions in public education funding for schools in my District, and billions for flood projects.

Access to healthcare-Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the nation. Pregnant women are dying preventable deaths, and are denied care. Seniors are choosing between buying groceries or buying their medicine. Women have lost their reproductive rights. We have to work to bring healthcare costs down, get more people covered and protect reproductive rights.
Public Education- we must protect public education from voucher schemes and work to ensure all children receive an excellent education regardless of their zip code. The State hasn’t paid its fair share in education funding in a generation. We must create sustainable, long-term funding from the State, instead of one-time cash infusions.
