Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

"We the people" means ALL people, including sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, country of origin, and faith. I will always:

* Treat all people with compassion, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity
* Support anti-bullying legislation and efforts by educators and parents to squelch bullying in schools
* Advocate for women's rights and equal pay for equal work

As our federal government continues its stalemate regarding immigration, at the state level we must continue to take action to ensure fair and just treatment of immigrants from the time they cross the border. I will continue to advocate for reuniting children with their family or sponsors as quickly as possible. We should not split families in the first place.

For more, see my Facebook posts on my statement on the border crisis, my visit to the Carrizo Springs HHS Shelter, and the July 2019 joint committee hearing on the border crisis.
