Public Safety

When uninsured Texans have no choice but to go to the Emergency Room, the cost will be many times more expensive and the health outcome will be worse.

Guaranteeing affordable healthcare to every citizen isn’t just a moral obligation, it’s smart policy. In the legislature, Christina will vote to protect and expand Medicaid, Medicare, and other health care programs across the state.

EDUCATION

The state is failing our public schools and our teachers. In Austin, Christina will fight to ensure every student has access to a quality education. This is why she’s called for:

Sustaining State funding of our schools

Parts of the legislative district are going through gentrification and although gentrification has brought the community positive appearances, it hasn’t contributed to improving our schools. Too many of our parents are still sending their children to schools in other neighborhoods and it is critical that that change.
We focused on getting the State of Texas to pay their fair share of funding for public education, expanding access to healthcare for Texas families, Hurricane Harvey recovery, and fighting for better air quality. Humbling to be on the House Floor and support the historic House Bill 3 which addressed many of the chronic funding issues in our school finance system.

Education

Our district is also home to children, working class families, and retired folks.

Toxic waste, particulate matter, and chemical runoff all pose serious health hazards to the members of our community. We should promote industry growth - but it has to be done responsibly. In office, Christina will fight to enforce and expand current health and safety standards - ensuring that every corporation plays by the rules.

“I am very concerned about the immediate danger of the fire and health of East End residents, said Rep. Christina Morales. I along with my fellow local representatives in the area are offering any support available to extinguish the fire. After that immediate danger of the fire is subdued, I will call for environmental investigations into the long-term effects on the water and air from this catastrophe.”
