Issues: Business and Consumers Employment and Affirmative Action Government Operations Government Budget and Spending

Growing the Texas economy while keeping living expenses down will require a much more responsible approach to spending. The Legislature has slashed funding for healthcare, education, and other necessary programs while still running billion dollar deficits, instead choosing to dump money into massive tax incentives for corporations. I'll support keeping holding our government accountable and working towards a more balanced budget and lower deficits.

But, a better economy isn't enough - we also need a fairer economy too. To make Texas more equitable, I'll support increasing the state minimum wage and ensure equal pay for equal work for all Texans.
