We need more than a resolution, we need clear and consistent moral leadership across the board. These are rough times and we need leaders who will put our communities first consistently across the board. 1/
My life has been in service of others. As a mom, teacher, community organizer I always focused on making sure people were cared for and protected. The current seat holder of TX-14 sits silent as members of his party embrace racism and hatred that hasn’t been seen in decades. 2/
As your representative, my focus will be on fighting to improve the lives of the members of our district and for people across the country. Trump‘s friends in Congress spend more time on actions that deprive people, instead of bettering our lives. 3/
With increased action around deportation and detention, we cannot rest easy knowing that at any given moment our neighbors and families could be targeted. This is a blatant abuse of power. 4/
The horrible treatment of immigrant populations across the country has reached a state beyond repair. It is time for a robust discussion on how we reform our current immigration system and rebuild the trust of the immigrant community that this administration has squandered. 5/
Together we can create a district, a country, in our image. We can build opportunity for all without leaving anyone behind. When I was a child, my family always found a way to make room for those who needed help. We are at our greatest when we are working together. 6/
The occupant of the White House has made racist comments since he’s been a public figure. TX-14 is filled with working families that get up everyday fighting to build a better future for their family, and those whom they love. 7/
I’m running to go to Washington to fight for our right to healthcare, quality education, and work to fulfill the promises made that have not been kept. Will you join me in this fight? We can’t afford to let anymore time pass with leadership in TX-14 that sits silent in crisis 8/8
