Texas should expand Medicaid to cover adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level.
Background
Texas is one of about ten states that have not adopted the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. Expansion would cover more low-income adults, with the federal government paying most of the cost.
Texas should keep funding education savings accounts that families can use for private school tuition.
Background
A 2025 state law created education savings accounts funded with $1 billion for their first two years. Families can use the money for private school tuition and other approved education costs.
Texas should eliminate school district property taxes on homesteads.
Background
School district taxes make up the largest share of most Texas homeowners' property tax bills. Eliminating them for homesteads would require the state to replace that school funding from other sources.
I am committed to reducing property taxes, and the place where we find the funding to do that is by eliminating Abbott's billions in corporate giveaways.

Texas should raise the minimum age to buy semiautomatic rifles to 21.
Background
Adults 18 and older can currently buy semiautomatic rifles in Texas. Bills to raise the age to 21 have been filed since the 2022 Uvalde school shooting but have not passed.
Texas should have an independent commission draw its congressional and legislative districts.
Background
The Texas Legislature currently draws these districts and redrew its congressional map in 2025, in the middle of the decade. A commission would move that job to a separate panel.
Texas should keep spending state money on border security operations and border barriers.
Background
Since 2021 Texas has spent about $11 billion on state border operations, including troops, arrests and barrier construction. The state has sought federal reimbursement for part of those costs.
Texas should let state and local police arrest people suspected of crossing the border illegally.
Background
A 2023 state law made illegal entry from another country a state crime that Texas officers could enforce. The law has been tied up in federal court challenges since it passed.
