Growing up in Alton, TX, I have seen this “little city on the grow” transform from a few thousand ppl to now leading the way & taking action to ensure that S. Texans have access to a living wage. When we organize and fight, we win. #TX15

The results of the #TX28 runoff are not what we had fought for.
I am so grateful for the leap of faith so many of you took on this underdog race.
I look forward to keep fighting for a more progressive and accountable Democratic Party and work to turn Texas blue in November.
