Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019

Sensible gun control.
Our children deserve more than "thoughts and prayers." Our children deserve more than empty rhetoric. It is long past time that we implement sensible gun policies. The overwhelming majority of Texans agree that we need universal background checks and comprehensive red flag laws to keep guns out of the hands of those who pose a danger to themselves or others. We must also work to close the loopholes on private sales and gun shows and ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. As your representative, I will reach across to the aisle to make sure that we pass this legislation to ensure the safety and well-being of all Texans.

Stop human trafficking money and help victims.
Politicians have talked a good game on human trafficking in Texas for a decade. Yet, the problem is growing and the money keeps flowing. Let's go after the business side of human trafficking and actually invest in services for victims. Governor Abbott just vetoed a bill that would have provided protection and increased services for victims. I will bring that legislation back to floor next session.
