For Candidate Yolanda R. Prince on Issue economy:  
Advocates for co-sponsoring the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to address voting suppression.

Said, "We are in a rural area. I was just talking to my neighbor the other day, who has a disabled son. He’s been on Medicaid. Now he’s not ever going to be able to work, and someone is always going to have to take care of him. When she went to get his prescription filled, they told her that Medicaid wouldn’t cover it and that she would have to pay $1,000 right there. Eventually she got it resolved, but just to have to go through that stress to get a medicine that he needs to survive every day, that has to stop."

Supports expanding Medicaid in Texas and increasing funding for rural hospitals to improve access to healthcare.

Advocates for raising the minimum wage from $7.25.

Supports co-sponsoring the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to combat voting suppression and discriminatory voter ID laws in Texas.

Yolanda has been an election judge, a precinct chair, and president of the Democratic Club of Smith County for about 10 years.

Supports raising the minimum wage to help individuals afford basic necessities.

Supports farmers' ability to repair their own equipment and emphasizes the importance of affordability and access for agricultural producers.
