Priorities

Stop wasting money on forever wars, instead invest in our people: end the American Empire, and cut military spending in half.
Free college and trade schools
Cancel student debt
End Federal standardized testing mandates for K12 students
Give Social Security recipients a raise
Improve the VA and Veterans benefits
END homelessness for Veterans

Improved and expanded Medicare for All, with no co-pays or premiums, including for vision, hearing aids, dental, and prescriptions.

Invest in safe renewable energy projects like solar and wind power – these are the best option both economically and environmentally. Ban LNG exports. Stop all subsidies to the oil and gas industry, and force those industries to pay for external harms like asthma treatment and cleaning up toxic water and zombie wells.

Have you noticed our summers are getting hotter, and our winters don’t cool down like they used to? The earth is overheating like a greenhouse due to global warming. We in the Valley feel the heat more than most, it is impacting anyone who works outside, and hurting our farmers and our water supply. We need to face this reality and take action before it is too late.

Fracking and toxic drilling water runoff in west Texas can flow down the Pecos Rover, Lake Amistad, and the Rio Grande to reach us here in the Valley. To protect our drinking water and our farms, we must ban fracking and other dangerous forms of oil and gas extraction. The Valley can once again become an agricultural powerhouse, because of the quality of our soil and the irrigation options.
We can localize our energy, food, and water, giving the Valley independence and strength – the best solution for affordability.
Improve drainage and flood control.
