2026 Texas General Election

Q: Should Congress pass a federal $17/hour minimum wage, indexed to inflation?

Yes. If tax policy adjusts for inflation, workers’ wages should too. Ellis and Johnson Counties are booming because families are getting priced out of places like Irving and Arlington, while hedge funds buy up starter homes in cash. Two parents working full-time minimum-wage jobs can’t compete with billionaires getting corporate tax breaks. Instead of endless giveaways to people who don’t work, we should help small businesses pay a real living wage, including healthcare subsidies, so workers can build stable lives here in North Texas.

Q: Would you support major tax reform, including raising taxes on billionaires and large corporations?

Yes. Tax policy should support working families, like expanding the Child Tax Credit, helping people start small businesses, and making first-time homeownership possible. We don’t need more corporate welfare for West Texas billionaires. We need a tax code that rewards work, not wealth.

Supports a federal minimum wage of $17 per hour, indexed to inflation, and healthcare subsidies to help small businesses pay a living wage.

Supports tax reform that raises taxes on billionaires and large corporations, expands the Child Tax Credit, and helps people start small businesses and buy first homes.

Q: Do you support a Green New Deal or similar large-scale federal climate action plan?
Yes. My wife and I both drive union-built Ford EVs made right here in Arlington, so we live these issues every day. Climate action should empower working families, through tax incentives for rooftop solar in fast-growing communities like Mansfield and Midlothian, resilient energy options when the grid fails, and support for farmers and rural landowners so they don’t have to sell their water rights to West Texas billionaires. Instead of telling people what they can’t do, we should focus on practical solutions that protect our environment and lower costs for Texans.

Q: Do you support DC statehood, Puerto Rico self-determination, and expanding voting rights through federal law?

Yes. Our nation was founded on “no taxation without representation.” DC and Puerto Rico deserve the right to full representation. I strongly support passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and expanding protections for every voter.
