Get StartedThe passing of HB3 in 2019 was much needed for our hard working Texas teachers and students. An $11 Billion Bill focused on school finance and public education, HB3 included over $6 Billion for school resources for much needed increases in Texas’ teachers’ salaries, and $5 Billion for property tax reform. But we can’t stop there. Soon, our legislature will be faced again with more difficult questions about how to continue to fund our public education. The most important question is, what is the sustainability of this structure for the future?” HB3 was passed based on the assumption that every district in the state would have property values continue to grow over 5% — an assumption we are now realizing is fragile and much less likely to happen in light of the current economic impact of the Coronavirus crisis.

The 2020 census will cause redistricting of political boundaries; therefore, it is imperative that we do not allow our state legislature to redraw arbitrary lines that favor one area over another. These boundaries have been drawn before to allow the powerful to ensure their political power, and to keep it that way. Learn more

We are blessed with 5 of the major hospital systems in Texas House District 15. However, a large percent of our population is uninsured. We must take a look at our populations to drive better health outcomes. Learn more
The potential incorporation of The Woodlands Township in to District 15 is ever looming. A local issue that would affect residents of The Woodlands, this incorporation would affect two-thirds of the residents of Texas House District 15, adding levels of bureaucracy, and likely raising taxes with minimal changes in our services: those who want to move to incorporate The Woodlands are trying to jam incorporation down the throats of local citizens. I vow to work to protect our district from local officials’ attempt at consolidating their power. Learn more
