2026 Texas General Election

Workers who earn fair wages in stable jobs build savings, support local businesses, maintain their homes, access medical care, pay for their children to pursue trade school or college, and enjoy a well-deserved vacation. I’ll always seek out and support partnerships that deliver well-paying, long-lasting career opportunities for our communities because I’m not running to pass an agenda handed to me by donors or lobbyists, I’m running to help people where I live. I’m involved and invested here.

Eric Norman, Candidate for State Representative, Guadalupe County

A: I think the best way to make sure businesses are kept in the loop is to simply make space for regular meetings with chambers of commerce and business alliances. I’m present in the community, and even as a candidate I’ve made an effort to develop relationships with chamber presidents, economic development staff, and business owners.

Without bold, forward-looking leadership we won’t develop alternatives to our congested roads; we need a bus system that gives workers a reliable way to get to their jobs, and regional light rail connections so families can easily head up to Austin for concerts, or enjoy Fiesta celebrations in San Antonio. That also means finally delivering the high-speed train connections to North Texas and Houston that Texans want.

MAKE IT AFFORDABLE TO LIVE IN TEXAS

Texas is growing faster than its supply of housing, and costs have skyrocketed. Older homeowners face soaring valuations and struggle to pay property taxes while young families find themselves priced out. Cities should be empowered to smartly increase the pace and affordability of new housing and critical economic development initiatives so Texas can be an affordable place to live again.

Pledges to support partnerships that create well-paying, long-lasting career opportunities.

Healthcare

A: We overcome poverty and lay the groundwork for prosperous communities by expanding job opportunities and providing education, particularly public education. Public schools make it possible for so many to thrive because they serve all. The new TSTC campus north of Seguin will be another step in the right direction when it opens, but more programs, at every level, are needed. Students in school today must have access to programs for certifications, apprenticeships, internships, and college degrees.

STRENGTHEN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Public education is essential to the success of our communities, but lawmakers are refusing to step up and do the right thing to support our schools. Instead, Greg Abbott brought in millions of out-of-state money to pass a voucher program that’s about to devastate districts across Texas. Eric’s ready to fight for our schools, teachers, and kids whose deserve better representation.

Advocates access to certification, apprenticeship, internship, trade-school, and college programs for students.

Opposes Texas school vouchers and advocates greater support for public schools, teachers, and students.

If elected, what do you plan to do to ensure Texans have enough water as the state continues to grow?
Texas needs to adapt to how water is supplied, used, and valued. In addition to developing new sources (greywater recycling, rainwater capture, desalination) and using it more efficiently (fixing municipal water lines before they leak), we’ll also need to question ‘norms’ like plush lawns and supplying thirsty data centers.

Our region’s growth has caused major problems, but Texas’ setbacks can’t be fixed by continuing to add more lanes to roadways. As legislators we have to be prepared to invest in our people. That means transportation alternatives, ubiquitous high-speed internet, eliminating leaky waterlines, and developing renewable power sources that not only decentralize power generation, but help mitigate climate change.

Proposes graywater recycling, rainwater capture, desalination, and municipal water-line repairs to expand and conserve Texas water supplies.

Advocates renewable power development to decentralize power generation and mitigate climate change.
