Brett Robinson
I have a master’s in public administration from
the University of Houston, which I earned through a rigorous
program that sharpened my skills regarding policy and data
analysis, public management, budgeting, and administrative law.
In other words, I understand the tools the public sector has at
their disposal and how to use them to solve societal problems
and deliver results. I am also dedicated to serving my community.
I ran for this seat last cycle and personally knocked on more
doors than any other candidate in Harris County, where
I got the opportunity to learn more about what voters want
from their representative. Come to find out, most of it is what
I want, too. We want someone who is present, compassionate,
and thoughtful.
My answer would likely change day to day, but my top
two priorities are to restore reproductive freedom and reduce
income inequality. Starting with reproductive freedom, Texas has
one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the nation. Women
continue to die as they are denied critical care in life-threatening
situations. Kate Cox’s story shows us my opponent’s abortion law
is so extreme, it makes even intended pregnancies dangerous,
and there are no exceptions for rape or incest. As for income
inequality, Texas policies have been engineered to predominantly
benefit the wealthy. Texans struggle, despite GDP growth every
year. We must incentivize union membership and restructure our
tax policy to support the low, middle, and working class.
