Our youth is our future. I would advocate for youth lead committees that can focus on specific policies and/or populations to help provide insight for decision makers in local communities as well as our legislatures.

I am a retired firefighter, cattleman and rancher. I am a member of the firefighters union. I am a pro-worker Democrat who won’t shy away from a policy fight and ready to work as hard in Austin as I do on my farm.

Rebuilding the middle class, fighting for good jobs with good pay and protecting them from AI replacement. Fully funding public education. Expanding Medicaid to improve access and affordability. Make homeownership a reality once again.

I Won’t Back Down by Tom Petty. Working person’s song about resilience.

I do not support the current state of ICE in the United States. I have protested and spoken out their actions and abuses. My stance is all over social media.

I am against AI policing technology. AI needs to be regulated more than it currently is.

I do not support AI data centers at this time. There needs to be environmental impact studies, power sourcing and water usage studies done before these are built.

I believe a genocide is being committed against Palestinians. As long as they are denied basic living essentials, food and shelter, this is an ongoing problem. I support the ceasefire but more needs to be done to provide food and shelter to the Palestinian people.
