Issue Position: Our Civil Rights and Liberties

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights

In a world where our State and Federal governments are controlled by Republican majorities, our rights and liberties are under assault. From suppressive Voter ID laws to discriminatory Bathroom Bills, it is important that we take a strong stance on defending our constitutional rights. Every Texan deserves equal access to the ballot box, the justice system, and yes, the bathroom. I will do more than play defense - I will also advocate to expand our rights, whether it is expanding access to the ballot box by making voter registration easier, or ensuring that LGBT Texans are protected from discrimination at their workplace. On City Council, I sponsored a resolution calling for marriage equality long before the Supreme Court made it law of the land, and I also advocated for Municipal IDs, which would help immigrant or transgender Texans.
