What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

I have had around 7 years of experience lobbying for Change in the Texas legislature, Including Blockwalking, Community Outreach, and Testifying in front of committees. Holding office is not something you can learn from a book. You have to put yourself into the situations that demand you learn from doing and from those around you.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

Over the last few sessions at the capitol it became clear to me that the Texas Legislature needs to have a better representation of the disability communities. As a person born with Cerebral Palsy it is my goal to show all persons with disabilities that it its possible to have a direct impact on their local, state and federal government. YOU CAN BE REPRESENTED OR HOLD OFFICE IN THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
