We are the very heart of Texas.

Texas’s 21st Congressional District is powered by its people — educators, healthcare workers, public servants, builders, and small business owners. From the classrooms, where dedicated teachers do more with less, to the hospitals and clinics that care for our families, this district is where hard work meets heart.

Here, we swim in clear rivers, dance in old Hill Country dancehalls, and cruise backroads carved through limestone hills. This place teaches grit, resiliency, and pride — give more than you take, respect the land, and look out for your neighbor.

President Lyndon B. Johnson, the first Texan to lead the nation, was born right here in Texas’s 21st. His legacy of putting public service ahead of personal agenda still echoes in the spirit of this place — fairness, opportunity, and the understanding that government serves the people, not the other way around.

Now it’s our turn to carry that legacy forward.

About Texas 21

Politics serves politicians.

government serves the people.

What I stand for

Democracy That Works

When they make it harder for people to vote, they are choosing who counts. I believe no one should fear their government. I believe in due process, in participation, and in a system that lifts people up instead of shutting them out. Because when democracy works, people thrive. When it doesn't, only the powerful win. Here is the work we need to get done:

Progressive principles. Practical solutions. People, not politics.

Climate & Land

Where you live shouldn't determine whether your air is clean or your water is safe. And here in Texas — especially in TX-21 — water is the fight. I believe we need a future where Texas resources are for Texans, not land developers. That means protecting water rights, regulating irresponsible development, and investing in clean energy that builds real jobs in rural places.

  • Let’s expand early voting, end voter roll purges, and support automatic & same-day registration.

  • You are entitled to representation in our government. Period. We need independent redistricting commissions to preserve the right for ALL Texans to cast ballots that count.

  • I will support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Our government serves you. Not politicians, not corporations.

  • Just because it is, doesn’t mean it ought to be. In Texas, we have a long history of disrespecting voter rights. I want federal oversight in all states with a history of voter suppression. Because I think your Constitutional Rights are non-negotiable.

Economy That serves Everyone

The purpose of your time here on earth is not to make someone else rich. If you work full time, you should be able to pay your bills, go to the doctor, and enjoy time off with your family and friends. The economy doesn’t just “happen” — it’s built by policy. And right now, it’s rigged -and not in our favor. We need our dollars to go toward the people by taxing wealth instead of work. Here’s how:

  • Defend local access, regulate irresponsible developers, and ensure conservation leads growth.

  • It creates rural jobs and lowers household energy costs. Texas has long been an energy innovator - this is the next chapter. Let’s make Texas the home of the future.

  • Create a Civilian Climate Corps and update emergency response infrastructure. We cannot have another Camp Mystic tragedy. We just can’t.

  • This is America - no one should work full-time and live in poverty.

  • Workers are the heart of the economy - they deserve power at the table. The only reason to eliminate unions is to empower corporations.

  • Close loopholes, restore fair corporate tax rates, and invest in our communities.

  • No more public funding for companies that underpay, pollute, or exploit.

Digital Rights & Safety

We live our lives online, but the laws haven’t caught up. People shouldn’t fear being stalked, harassed, or doxxed for doing their jobs or speaking out. I want to make doxxing a federal crime — and ensure your data, identity, and safety are protected, wherever you log in from.

  • Pass legislation that criminalizes the malicious spread of personal information online.

  • Support a national data privacy bill. You’re a Texan - not a commodity for a California Tech Bro.

  • Ensure tech companies can’t outpace human rights. Your information belongs to you.

Healthcare That Heals

Healthcare should be affordable, accessible, and rooted in dignity. It should be something you can count on — not something you gamble with. As a psychologist and a former VA provider, I’ve seen what good care looks like — and what happens when people fall through the cracks. It’s time we stop treating care as a luxury and start treating it as a right.

Take Back Texas

Texas isn’t broken — it’s being sabotaged. Our grid failed and people died. Our prisons are run for profit and land us on international human rights watch lists. Meanwhile, Washington thinks it can redraw our districts and strip Texans of their rights to serve its own political aims. It’s time to remind the government: they serve us — not the other way around. Here’s the work we need to get done:

  • Healthcare is a human right, not a luxury.

  • No one should ration medicine to survive.

  • Fund community clinics, school-based therapists, and trauma-informed care.

  • Enshrine Roe v. Wade, fund family planning, and block federal abortion bans.

  • Require resilient infrastructure and hold utilities accountable for failures.

  • End federal contracts with corporations that profit from incarceration and abuse. Establish independent federal oversight of state prison conditions, including investigations into civil rights violations and systemic abuse.

  • Bring federal funding for rural broadband and infrastructure directly to TX‑21 — no more letting Austin or DC decide who gets left behind.

Looking for a fight? Start here:

Defeat the S.A.V.E. Act:

This bill makes registering to vote harder by requiring proof of citizenship in person. In TX‑21, it threatens seniors, women who’ve changed names, and rural families.
Call Rep. Chip Roy at (202) 225‑4236 and tell him: don’t restrict our vote—expand it!

Restore FEMA to Flood Victims

When TX‑21 needed help after flooding, FEMA’s phone lines went dead due to funding lapses. Lives might have been lost. That’s unacceptable.
Call Sen. Ted Cruz at (202) 224‑5922 and tell him: stop defunding FEMA—restore support for disaster relief!

Stop Washington’s Redistricting Play

Texans are not chess pieces. Redrawing maps mid-cycle to benefit politicians is a direct insult to voters across TX‑21. Call Sen. Ted Cruz at (202) 224‑5922 and remind him: government serves us, not the career politicians.

Stop the OBBB Medicaid Cuts:

Starting October 2028, the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” slashes Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion over the next decade, devastating rural hospitals in areas like TX‑21.
Call Sen. Ted Cruz at (202) 224‑5922 and demand no cuts to essential healthcare!

End ICE Raids & Military Misuse

Federal money shouldn’t be funding ICE raids or the deployment of U.S. troops against American citizens. In TX‑21, this means community trust is eroding fast. Call Rep. Chip Roy at (202) 225‑4236 and demand he defend Texans—not dismantle our rights.

Release the Epstein Files

Texans deserve accountability and transparency from Washington. The full Epstein files must be released. No more backroom cover-ups,
Call Rep. Chip Roy at (202) 225‑4236 and demand he stand for truth—not secrecy. Tell him you want H.R. 581 voted on pronto.

Join Our Campaign

This fight is for all of us — because TX-21 is all of us. I don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Independent, unaffiliated, disillusioned, or undecided — and neither does democracy. I’d be honored to have you join my campaign to fight for the future we all deserve.
