“An Affordable Texas that Works for Everyone.
“An Affordable Texas that Works for Everyone.
While multi-national corporations post record profits, Texans are paying more for groceries, housing, utilities, insurance, and so much more. Texas needs leaders who are willing to take on the corporate greed that is making life increasingly unaffordable for working families.”
Gas prices spiked because of geopolitics.
When fuel prices change, it creates a ripple effect across the entire economy. It is incredibly frustrating every single time you fill up your car. So not only does it cost you more to drive, but everything you buy costs more too. Let's elect officials who solve problems, not create them.
Rising healthcare costs are impacting all Texans.
Texas healthcare costs are skyrocketing, crushing families with surging premiums and co-pays. Whether you have good private insurance or Medicare, your monthly rates are climbing. Because Texas didn't expand Medicaid, the uninsured must use expensive emergency rooms, driving up everyone’s bills. Lost subsidies are also knocking people off Affordable Care plans, forcing our premiums even higher. Let’s build a stronger tomorrow with new leadership.
School budget deficits jeopardize education for all Texans
Inflation spiked fixed costs, a massive funding gap was left in our classrooms, forcing Texas public schools to shutter campuses, cut librarians, and lay off teachers. Making matters worse, the state refuses to adequately fund our classrooms, instead diverting scarce public tax dollars into private school vouchers. This state-level funding squeeze leaves local school property taxes skyrocketing to make up the difference, hurting everyday families. Our future can’t wait—let's vote for a change.

“Funding That Keeps Pace With Reality –
School districts shouldn't have to struggle just to cover basic costs. It's time to raise the basic allotment to previous levels, and ensure that future funding keeps up with inflation.”

The Texas Job Engine is Sputtering.
Inflation is forcing experienced workers to delay retirement, while automation cuts entry-level roles—making internships and first jobs nearly impossible to find. People keep moving here because our economy grew so fast in the past, but the available job pool is shrinking. Now, companies are quietly cutting staff, leaving Texas families facing corporate layoffs and a brutal job search. It is time to choose leaders who work for us.

decline in job growth in Austin
The state's prominent economic engine—slid into a 3.3% decline as inflation forced companies to cool down hiring and cut entry-level positions.
In their tracking of the local labor market, they noted that Austin’s employment took a sharp turn, decreasing at an annualized rate of 3.3% as corporate hiring cooled and sectors like tech, information, and professional services felt the squeeze of the broader economic slowdown. Source

annual job growth in Texas
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) reported that the annual nonfarm job growth rate for the state fell to a sluggish 0.5% over a 12-month period, reflecting a significant slowdown from the rapid hiring boomed in previous years. Because the TWC collaborates directly with the federal U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to gather this payroll data, citing either the Texas Workforce Commission or the BLS gives you an official government source to back up that specific metric.
Texas's overall annual job growth rate has sharply decelerated, dropping to a sluggish 0.5%. This means the rapid, easy-to-find job market Texans enjoyed over the last decade has dramatically slowed down to a crawl under the weight of inflation.

Official state filings (WARN notices) reveal that thousands of Texas workers across manufacturing, logistics, and hospitality have already faced sudden mass layoffs. This includes single-facility cuts as high as 1,700 workers at a time, proving that companies are aggressively cutting costs to survive inflation. Source

“We can have cheaper,
“We can have cheaper,
healthier, and more local foods that pay farmers their fair share while also ensuring food remains affordable -- but only if we limit the ability of the greedy few corporate middlemen from monopolizing our food system.”
