Positions
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes improving local access to health and mental-health services and infrastructure, calling for practical, visible improvements to routine care and mental health access in the district. Public materials focus on expanding access and addressing basic healthcare needs but do not specify support for nationwide policy proposals such as Medicaid changes, a public option, or Medicare for All.
Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes infrastructure resilience—particularly addressing Houston’s storm flooding and a fragile power grid—and frames climate-related impacts as infrastructure and disaster-response problems. Public materials and media coverage note concern about flooding and grid reliability but do not lay out specific climate or energy policies (e.g., emissions targets, fossil fuel phase-out, or detailed clean-energy programs).
