Friends,
Every generation gets a moment when it has to decide what kind of future it’s willing to fight for.
This is ours.
Across North Texas, I meet people who make this state run. Teachers who open classroom doors before sunrise, nurses who miss dinner to finish another round, lineworkers who climb poles in the dark to keep the lights on. They don’t ask for much. Just the chance to work hard, build a life and give their kids a shot that’s better than their own.
But somewhere along the way the Texas promise got sold to the highest bidder.
Politicians stopped listening to the people who keep this state alive and started answering to the ones who have the deepest pockets. They call it politics. I call it a betrayal.
I’m not running for the Texas Senate because I always dreamed of holding office. I’m running because I still believe in the idea of Texas being a place where fairness isn’t a slogan, it’s a way of life. Where the measure of a community isn’t how much money a man makes, but whether a child can dream without fear, whether a parent can afford a doctor, whether a teacher can afford to teach.
I wore a uniform in defense of my country. I know what it’s like to wonder if the bills will clear before the weekend. I watched my parents work until their hands ached just to keep the lights on. That’s where I learned what real strength looks like. It’s not in boardrooms or marble halls but in the quiet dignity of working people who refuse to give up.
Texans haven’t given up. Not by a long shot.
In living rooms, union halls, school cafeterias, and church basements, folks are organizing. They’re registering voters, knocking on doors and daring to believe that decency can win. That’s the heartbeat of this campaign, a movement built not on cynicism, but on courage.
We can build a Texas that works for all of us again. One that funds our public schools so teachers can teach and students can soar, cuts property taxes by making corporations pay their fair share and expands healthcare so no Texan has to go broke just to see a doctor.
This Special Election isn’t about left or right. It’s about who we’re fighting for. The billionaires and lobbyists who already own enough or the everyday Texans who build, heal, and teach every single day.
On October 20, polls open across Tarrant County. Between then and Election Day, November 4, 2025 you have the power to decide whether the next Texas State Senator represents billionaires and lobbyists or the people who build our schools, drive our buses and fix our power lines. I’m asking you to join me. Talk to your friends, make a plan to vote and be part of the movement that finally gives working Texans the voice we deserve.
This isn’t just a campaign. It’s the work of our lives.
And I believe with everything in me that it is a fight we can win.
