It’s time for
NEW VOICES, NEW LEADERSHIP.
We Can Invest in Our Schools and Lower Property Taxes.
Here’s How:
School district and healthcare taxes are the largest drivers of our rising property taxes.
Despite sitting on a multi-billion dollar Rainy Day Fund, the state provides less funding for public schools than it did 14 years ago.
Republicans have refused to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, leaving over $10 billion a year on the table.
Tap the Rainy Day Fund and expand Medicaid and we can support our schools and improve healthcare while reducing the pressure on rising property taxes.

Dallas Morning News: Former state lawmaker backs Matt Rinaldi’s challenger, the latest Texas Republican to endorse a Democrat
“In his letter, Ratliff, a former Coppell school board member, said he believes Johnson would be a good advocate for Texas students and teachers and local taxpayers.”
“I’ve stared down injustice and gone toe-to-toe with the crooked and powerful, because when Texans are on the line, I’ll never back down.”

Issues
Education Financing
Texas clearly does not spend enough per student. Your education shouldn’t be determined by where you’re born in our state or how much your parents’ property is worth-if they have any property at all. Read more.
Responsible spending
We need to talk about how we are spending resources; millions of dollars have been taken away from our women’s health care network and re-assigned to ideological groups with no oversight. This has created waste and an additional burden on public hospitals and emergency rooms. We must save money and reallocate. Read more.
Criminal justice reform
Bail bond reform is a top priority. It is completely unjust to jail people for being poor and it is fiscally irresponsible. The aims of any future reforms by our legislature should be focused on accountability for police, citizens, defendants, prisoners and the families of prisoners alike. Read more.
Wages
Cities should be allowed to have open debate about raising the minimum wage and not fear overarching obstruction from those in Austin. Read more.
Local Control
Republican statewide leadership has attacked local control. SB4 is one of the most dishonorable and ineffective pieces of legislation that has passed through the chambers of our state legislature. Read more.
