Q: Should Texas guarantee free school meals to all K–12 students, regardless of income?

Yes. Studies have shown that kids who eat balanced meals learn better and that their test scores improve. This should not be income-based. There is no way to tell what foods are being eaten at home. Most families are two-income earners. Hurried time in the morning to get the kids off does not guarantee a balanced breakfast. Lunch is a sandwich. Eating balanced meals is essential for growing kids. My wife is an elementary school teacher. I hear the stories of hungry or neglected kids. The need is real for a lot of kids. We need to support our kids regardless of family income.

Q: Do you support a statewide minimum wage increase to at least $15/hour?
The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. This is not a living wage. So yes, I do support raising the minimum wage to at least $15.00 an hour, maybe more. The goal should be to lift workers out of poverty, not keep them there struggling to get by. I do think this increase should be phased in over 3-5 years so it does not put further inflationary pressure on our small businesses, which are being hit hard by the tariffs.

Q: Should Texas end tax subsidies and abatements for large corporations?

Yes, we should stop supporting large corporations with long-term tax abatements and subsidies. I do understand the value of offering start-up abatements for 1-2 years to get the companies to commit to building in Texas and creating jobs here. This helps with start-up and relocation costs. Having these companies in Texas does help with our employment rates, and generally, they have good starting wages. But ultimately, they need to be self-sufficient and not dependent on tax welfare to run their business.

Supports raising the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour, phased in over three to five years.

Supports ending long-term tax abatements and subsidies for large corporations while allowing one- to two-year start-up abatements.

Q: Do you oppose school vouchers and efforts to privatize public education?

I do oppose school vouchers. This is nothing more than an effort to take funds away from public schools and give them to those families who have kids in private schools. I know the state is making up some of the difference in school funding. But there is a greater issue: we are creating a division in education where not all kids are educated equally. Private schools generally provide better education, but are able to pick and choose which kids are admitted. Many are church-run schools that have classes on religion attached to them. I think we need to keep our separation of church and state intact. The money from these vouchers could be better spent on public schools, where all kids are given a chance at success.

Opposes school vouchers and says voucher funding could instead support public schools.

Opposes school vouchers, which are programs that allow qualifying families to use public money for alternative schooling options, including private schools, and says voucher funding could instead support public schools.

Supports free school meals for all students from kindergarten through 12th grade, regardless of family income.

Q: Should Texas end tax breaks and regulatory loopholes for oil and gas companies, including exemptions from emissions reporting and waste disposal standards?

Yes, we need to stop supporting oil and gas companies. These companies should not be given exemptions from emissions and waste reporting . They should be held accountable for the damage they are doing to our environment. Texas needs to strongly encourage them to move quickly to renewable solar and wind power. I think the changing environment is probably the biggest threat to the world population. We are getting further and further behind.

Supports ending support for oil and gas companies, including exemptions from emissions and waste reporting.

Calls for Texas to strongly encourage oil and gas companies to transition quickly to renewable solar and wind power.
