• “I just felt like everything was backwards. Folks are working harder and harder for less. There were a lot of promises made to Texans in the last election about ‘there’s going to be a focus on lowering their costs, making it easier for them to get ahead.’ I think those promises have certainly not been fulfilled. In fact it’s been the opposite; they’ve made it harder on folks. They’ve raised folks’ costs.”

• “The best example is this bill that’s working its way through congress right now that’s going to be one of the biggest wealth transfers from working class folks to the wealthiest in American history. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can have a Senator who cares about all of us. Who will fight for all of us. That’s what I want to do.”

• “I’m running for one reason, and that’s to make sure that Texans know that I’m going to be on their side. I’m going to fight for them to lower their costs, to stop corrupt politicians, quite honestly, like Ken Paxton and John Cornyn from rigging the economy against working Texans.”

• “I’m not taking anything for granted. I don’t expect anyone to support me based on the last election or anything like that. I want to earn folks votes in this election about what I’ll do going forward.”
