What would it look like if 12 Texas women ran for different levels of office - from City Council to Congress - and won? What if they helped each other, and shared resources instead of “running our own race”?

What do we have here? More corruption and abuse of power for personal monetary gain, while our public school employees struggle to make ends meet or are losing their jobs. This public school mom is mad and time for change is way overdue.

There is a lot of work done to register people to vote but not enough to close the gap between registered and voting. That is mostly left up to the candidates. If you have underfunded or bivocational candidates then it does not happen. Talking from experience here.
When talking to voters, reliability of the grid is a top concern. Texans use their own $ to purchase generators while

gives away $7.2M to the oil and gas industry. Now ERCOT cancels the RFP for additional capacity. How are Texans feeling about winter?

Stop wasting our tax dollars. HD 52 does not want school vouchers. We deserve a representative that listens to us and serves our community, not their political marriage or campaign donors.

We must organize for our lives.
Paxton’s trial revealed the true ethics of our state leaders. Although the majority of the house voted for the articles of impeachment, Caroline Harris, current representative of HD 52, did not. Her ties to Paxton’s family and political contributions explain why.
I am going to every corner of HD52 to talk to voters. My priorities are your priorities, not the wishes of political influencers or millionaires. I am committed to community, dedicated to change.

Women donate in smaller amounts and are underrepresented in the donor class overall. Women candidates receive smaller donations, therefore have to work harder to fundraise. Money is power in campaigns.
