Marquette Greene-Scott
I am an attorney licensed in Texas and Louisiana and I am a former educator. I am currently Mayor Pro Tem for the City of Iowa Colony. I have been on city council since May 2021. Being on city council affords me the opportunity to make policy decisions based on the issues and how they will affect the residents of the city without the blur of party lines. I make my decisions looking at the long-term effects of our policies. As a result, I have consistently shown the vision, experience, and determination to get things done.

The two most pressing issues that I will face in Congress are the healthcare crises and the affordability crisis.
1) Healthcare: Millions of Americans are going to lose their healthcare because Congress is allowing the Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire. We must pass universal healthcare. Having health insurance should not be tied to employment or economic status. It is the right of every American to have healthcare. It is a right, not a privilege. 2) Affordability: Housing, healthcare, childcare, education, and the cost of everyday goods have all surged, but incomes have not. Congress must raise the federal minimum wage. We need to expand tax credits for working families and lower the costs for housing, healthcare, and essentials.
