Andrew White

Overview

Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports simplifying the tax code and closing a $5 billion commercial property tax break to raise funding for schools and teacher pay; emphasizes using tax changes to increase education funding rather than broad tax cuts. Expresses concern about national debt and the need to stop borrowing, while prioritizing redirecting tax benefits to public services such as K–12 education.

Healthcare

Supports expanding Medicaid to accept federal funds for coverage expansion and proposes a member-owned “Texas Cares” healthcare co‑op to lower costs, create upfront pricing, and cap out‑of‑pocket expenses relative to income.

Immigration & Border

Supports national border control while emphasizing legal pathways and asylum access; backs protection for DACA recipients and opposes family separations. Has previously owned a border-security company which he said he would divest from while running for governor.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports keeping abortion legal under Roe v. Wade and says he would veto legislation that further restricts access to abortion. He says women and doctors should not be criminalized for providing or obtaining abortions and supports access to contraception and measures that reduce the need for abortion. He describes himself as personally pro-life but separates that personal view from public policy and governance.

Climate & Energy

Supports continued oil and gas production and “energy independence” while also endorsing investment in clean technology and environmental regulation to make fossil fuel development safer. Emphasizes both drilling today and funding clean-tech for the future and describes fracking as important if done safely.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports Second Amendment rights while backing expanded, common-sense gun-safety measures including universal background checks, age limits (with exceptions for military and police), short waiting periods, and red flag laws to keep firearms out of dangerous hands.
