Keep public tax money out of private schools while making Texas public schools the very best they can be. We can LEAD on this -- Texas has the 8th largest economy in the WORLD and more resourses than most states.

Gov. Abbott pocketed $12,250,000 to buy Rep Dyson & enough Representatives to give $10,474/student of our tax money to private schools and pay for kids already in those schools,

while giving $55/student attending public schools and leaving teachers' pay ~$10,700 below the national average.

Fully fund public schools. Pay teachers top salaries

And cover all ISD employees under TRS and social security - like we do the TAMU employees.

Don't devalue an A&M degree.

Academic Freedom - the freedom to discuss, to teach, to research and to publish without political interference - is foundational to higher education.

Gov Abbott, Lt Gov Patrick & Rep Dyson's infringment on Academic Freedom and the 1st Amendment threatens accreditation, SEC eligibility and compliance with every research dollar coming into a top-tier research institution.

On A&M campus right now, one has to ask permission before acknowledging the existence of transgender people in the classroom. What's next: that climate change is not man-made?

For the past 100 years, oil & gas’s the engine that runs our economy here in Texas, but now we've got 2 water crises here in Texas: too much "produced water" contaminating our groundwater - and - not enough water to drink.

From produced water to data centers, we need guardrails in place before state politicians squander what we need to live – in exchange for their campaign war-chest.

Let's restrict drinkable water for drinking & require data centers to use recycled produced water - or greywater - for their cooling & energy generation needs.

There's truth in the addage: "When you have your health, you have everything."

So why does Greg Abbott refuse to allow the money we've already paid to the federal government to come home to Texas to pay for healthcare? IRS doesn't discount our income tax.

Before Trump's Big Bad Bill's cuts, Texas only covered pregnanct women, children, the patiently disabled, & very elderly-low-income people.

Expanding the pool lowers the cost for all of us. - and is a lifeline for keeping our rural hospitals open.

It's not a hoax when you run out of money when you go to pay your bills.

Property taxes have gone up 54% while Greg Abbott 's been in office. That's a problem if you rent or own your home. Home prices have gone up 89%, while a waitress' wage remains $2.13/hr and minimum wage is stuck at $7.25/hr.

Now he wants to raise your sales taxes. Even Dan Patrick disagrees.

Don't let him - VOTE DEMOCRATICally.

"If I can step accross the line into New Mexico and legally buy a $25 bag of gummies, I should not be a criminal one mile later.

Decriminalize, Legalize, Regulate and TAX adult-use THC. In the enabling legislation, direct the revenue to public schools, healthcare, housing and real property tax reform.

As a governmental CPA, fixing corruption is something I've been doing for over 40 years.

Get politicians out of billionaires' back pockets. Limit contributions, limit terms in office, strengthen ethics rules and put teeth behind those laws.

For forward action to happen, we need majority and ethical statewide leadership. We all need to work together .
