What’s On The Ballot

Our Issues

Support Public Schools & Teachers

Public education is about the future of our kids and the future of our economy — because if we want the best jobs in America to be right here in Texas, we need the best schools in America to be right here in Texas. Texas has the largest educational endowment in the United States, but our state ranks 44th in per-pupil spending.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will recruit and retain the best and brightest educators by raising teacher pay, strengthening health care and retirement benefits, and treating teachers with the respect they deserve.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will fight for Texas to have the best schools in the nation by investing in smaller class sizes, more special education support, and great teachers — as well as ending high-stakes standardized testing and forever banning private school vouchers in Texas.

  • Janet Dudding, Democratic Nominee for Texas Comptroller

    Janet Dudding, Nominee for Comptroller

    Janet will

    • Advocate for the legalization of cannabis by pointing out the economic advantages of legalization and expunging the records of those currently in jail for nonviolent cannabis-related crimes. Janet will use this money to fund public schools.

    • Preserve the Public School Teacher Retirement Fund that has not adjusted payouts for inflation in a decade, ultimately hurting the teachers who have already committed so much to our communities and our kids. Janet will reverse the recent state ban on businesses that diversified their energy portfolio by the current Comptroller to instead prioritize the Comptroller's fiduciary responsibility and protect pension funds.

  • Jay Kleberg, Democratic Nominee for Texas Land Commissioner

    Jay Kleberg, Nominee for Land Commissioner

    Jay will reduce the burden on taxpayers and improve K-12 education with better investment of the Permanent School Fund, increasing public school funding.

  • Susan Hays, Democratic Nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan Hays, Nominee for Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan will incentivize districts to have healthy school lunches and promote a garden at every school so kids learn about ag and healthy food.

Rein In Property Taxes

Since the current Republican administration has been in power, our property taxes have skyrocketed by nearly $20 billion. Why? Because Dan Patrick has carved out loopholes for his wealthy campaign donors while we pay more and more in taxes. We are paying more so that corporations can pay less.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will guarantee tax fairness and ensure wealthy corporations pay what they truly owe to reduce property taxes for families and small businesses, by closing corporate tax loopholes.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will close tax loopholes for out-of-state corporations that cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year and use the money to lower property taxes, improve your local schools, and invest in public safety. Mike will work tirelessly to provide much-needed relief to Texas families.

  • Janet Dudding, Democratic Nominee for Texas Comptroller

    Janet Dudding, Nominee for Comptroller

    Janet will fight for homeowners to ensure they aren’t paying more than corporations for property taxes.

  • Jay Kleberg, Democratic Nominee for Texas Land Commissioner

    Jay Kleberg, Nominee for Land Commissioner

    Jay will reduce the burden on taxpayers and improve K-12 education with better investment of the Permanent School Fund, increasing public school funding and decreasing the percentage that property taxes needs to cover.

Restore Reproductive Rights

​​All Texans deserve the freedom to make their own decisions about their own body, their own health care, and their own future. We deserve the freedom to decide if, when, and with whom to start a family.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will strengthen investments in affordable contraception, cancer screenings, and other crucial family planning services. Beto will also supporting healthy babies and combat Texas’ maternal mortality crisis by expanding Medicaid and increasing pregnancy Medicaid eligibility to one-year-postpartum.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will fight to ensure that women and their doctors—not politicians—make decisions about their own healthcare. He will also repeal Texas' extreme laws that ban abortions—even in cases of rape or incest—and restore the protections afforded under Roe v. Wade.

  • Rochelle Garza, Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General

    Rochelle Garza, Nominee for Attorney General

    Rochelle will refuse to defend laws that infringe on Texans’ reproductive rights and constitutional right to access abortion care.

Invest in Rural Communities

​​For decades, Texas has neglected rural communities, allowing rural schools and hospitals to deteriorate, causing those communities to fall behind the rest of the state.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will partner with hardworking rural communities to invest in education, health care, and broadband. Republicans have failed to uplift rural communities, making it harder and harder for businesses in those towns to recruit and retain talent and encourage economic investment.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will prioritize expanding Medicaid to help keep rural hospitals open, create incentives for rural broadband so those communities can participate in the modern digital world, oppose efforts to defund public schools in favor of private school vouchers, and work to bolster state water planning to assist farmers and ranchers.

  • Janet Dudding, Democratic Nominee for Texas Comptroller

    Janet Dudding, Nominee for Comptroller

    Janet will reinforce support for rural broadband by helping local governments keep broadband costs low and bring in money with broadband expansion.

  • Jay Kleberg, Democratic Nominee for Texas Land Commissioner

    Jay Kleberg, Nominee for Land Commissioner

    Jay will fully fund, staff, and prepare all of our community partners so all Texans have what they need to prevent and respond to climate disasters — including coastlines, droughts, and wildfires.

  • Susan Hays, Democratic Nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan Hays, Nominee for Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan will

    • Raise our livestock and our crops without harming our land, our water, and our air. Susan will reduce government red tape and incentivize sustainable practices to help pay for these supplies needed to implement these changes.

    • Allow landowners to receive payment for “carbon capture” projects — safe and effective developments that take carbon out of the atmosphere, slowing down the impacts of climate change.

    • Legalize cannabis and make the growing and selling licenses affordable so it’s not just billionaires and corporations profiting off of the demand for cannabis’ recreational and medicinal benefits.

    • Accept federal dollars from the USDA to support rural broadband in Texas, which Texans’ taxpayers pay into but don’t get the rewards from due to incumbent Sid Miller’s poor relationship with USDA.

    • Rural Texas cannot survive — literally or economically — without vast improvements to its healthcare system. Hundreds of rural hospitals have closed over the past number of years, and 55% of remaining rural hospitals are in danger of closing. Susan will take advantage of federal programs and incentives for healthcare, broadband, and infrastructure that will return taxpayer dollars to Texas.

Fix the Grid & Reduce Energy Bills

Texas is the energy capital of the world, and we can’t even keep the lights on. We’re seeing soaring energy bills and continued uncertainty about the future of the grid.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will fight for experts to redesign the power grid to prioritize Texas families, not wealthy energy corporations. Beto will make sure we fully weatherize the power grid to withstand extreme weather and connect Texas to the national grid so that we can draw down power when we need it most. Beto will prevent energy corporations from price gouging Texans in the future and dramatically reduce Texans’ energy bills going forward.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will fix our vulnerable power grid by increasing energy production, transmission, and efficiency while also holding those that made billions during the freeze accountable. Additionally, he’ll support an all-of-the-above approach to energy to create thousands of jobs so that Texas remains the energy capital of the world.

  • Luke Warford, Democratic Nominee for Texas Railroad Commission

    Luke Warford, Nominee for Railroad Commission

    Luke will upgrade our energy sources to withstand extreme weather, identify critical gas producers, and ensure preparations for the next winter storm will keep us safe in the next crisis. A drop in natural gas supply was one of the leading causes of the grid failure. Texans shouldn’t have to live in fear that their power will go out when it gets too hot or too cold. These upgrades will create jobs and keep Texans safe.

  • Rochelle Garza, Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General

    Rochelle Garza, Nominee for Attorney General

    Rochelle will take on powerful corporations who took advantage of Texans during the grid crisis and investigate what went wrong with our power grid to ensure that it can never happen again.

Protect Texans from Gun Violence

We can protect the Second Amendment while protecting Texans from gun violence.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will

    • Repeal the permitless carry law.

    • Close the private sale background check loophole may have prevented the 2019 Midland-Odessa shooting.

    • Advocate for effective red flag law systems, effective safe storage and child access prevention laws may have prevented the 2018 Santa Fe shooting.

    • Fight for stronger domestic violence reporting laws.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will fight to enact into law red flag laws, raise the age to purchase a firearm to 21, and end permitless carry which puts our law enforcement officers and communities in harms way.

Legalize Marijuana and Expunge Previous Records

Marijuana arrests have created vast racial disparities in our criminal justice system, generated an unnecessary burden on Texas taxpayers, and diverted law enforcement officers’ time and attention away from violent crime.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will legalize marijuana and expunge the records of those arrested for marijuana possession—and he’ll use the nearly $1 billion in new state revenue and reduced criminal justice costs to invest in public schools and reduce property taxes.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will champion reforming our criminal justice system and legalize marijuana so that more Texans can work rather than spend years in prison for minor, non-violent offenses.

  • Rochelle Garza, Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General

    Rochelle Garza, Nominee for Attorney General

    Rochelle will prioritize justice in our legal system. She will expunge the criminal records of anyone who was convicted on charges of personal possession of cannabis.

  • Janet Dudding, Democratic Nominee for Texas Comptroller

    Janet Dudding, Nominee for Comptroller

    Janet will advocate for the legalization of cannabis by pointing out the economic advantages of legalization and expunging the records of those currently in jail for nonviolent cannabis-related crimes. She will use this money to fund public schools.

  • Susan Hays, Democratic Nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan Hays, Nominee for Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan will legalize cannabis and make the growing and selling licenses affordable so it’s not just billionaires and corporations profiting off of the demand for cannabis’ recreational and medicinal benefits.

Expand Access to Healthcare

All Texans deserve access to affordable health care and the best and brightest medical providers. Right now, by not expanding Medicaid, Republicans are wasting billions, destroying rural communities, leading Texas to rank dead last for healthcare access compared to other states.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will

    • Expand Medicaid to bring billions of your federal tax dollars back home to Texas to help more people see a doctor. Expanding Medicaid will create nearly 300,000 jobs in Texas, keep rural hospitals open, and reduce property taxes and healthcare costs across the board.

    • Establish the Nursing Jobs Plan — which will create a state-sponsored scholarship and apprenticeship program to recruit 7,500 registered nurses every year until Texas’ nursing shortage is eliminated.

    • Restore funding for programs designed to recruit and retain the best and brightest doctors and mental health providers to Texas.

  • Rochelle Garza, Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General

    Rochelle Garza, Nominee for Attorney General

    No one should go into bankruptcy in order to pay for healthcare. Rochelle will fight to expand rural hospitals, lower drug prices, include vision and dental benefits in health care plans.

  • Janet Dudding, Democratic Nominee for Texas Comptroller

    Janet Dudding, Nominee for Comptroller

    Janet will advocate to expand health care to the 1.4+ million Texans who qualify for Medicaid by underscoring the financial and economic advantages of doing so. Medicaid expansion would add half a million jobs, save a projected $100 million in taxpayer dollars, and bring in an estimated $45 billion to our state economy.

  • Susan Hays, Democratic Nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan Hays, Nominee for Agriculture Commissioner

    Rural Texas cannot survive — literally or economically — without vast improvements to its healthcare system. Hundreds of rural hospitals have closed over the past number of years, and 55% of remaining rural hospitals are in danger of closing. The Ag Commissioner is key to reforming rural health.

    Susan will

    • Fight to expand Medicaid and end health insurers’ practice of only offering insurance in certain counties.

    • Susan will take advantage of federal programs and incentives for healthcare, broadband, and infrastructure that will return taxpayer dollars to Texas.

Protect Our Planet

Texas emits nearly two times more carbon than any other state in the country. We are the number one carbon dioxide emitter in the nation and rank 9th in per capita carbon dioxide emissions. We see the effects of climate change every day: extreme heat, drought, more wildfires, unpredictable weather patterns, increased hurricanes and tornadoes, and a decrease in crop yields. Being unprepared for more extreme weather will lead to loss of life, livelihoods, and economic damage.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will add to our hundreds of thousands of oil and gas jobs by pursuing the Texas labor movement’s aggressive clean energy jobs plan, which aims to create 1.1 million high-paying jobs over the next 25 years by investing in geothermal power generation, hydrogen-fueled energy, offshore wind, solar generation, energy efficiency, and more.

  • Janet Dudding, Democratic Nominee for Texas Comptroller

    Janet Dudding, Nominee for Comptroller

    Doing nothing about methane is costing us billions of dollars with each climate emergency disaster. Janet will fight to make sure Texans get paid by the federal government to capture leaking methane on state owned lands – making us money while saving our planet.

  • Jay Kleberg, Democratic Nominee for Texas Land Commissioner

    Jay Kleberg, Nominee for Land Commissioner

    Jay will

    • Implement sustainable agricultural and wildlife management practices — and partner with conservation organizations and industry to protect our land for future generations.

    • Expand low-carbon technology on Texas' offshore lands by diversifying our energy investments on state lands with a focus on long-term environmental sustainability and revenue production.

    • Establish 1,000 miles of living coastline to protect our coastal communities against hurricanes by working with local communities, industry, and local, state and federal government to support construction of a coastal barrier.

    • Fully fund, staff, and prepare all of our community partners so all Texans have what they need to prevent and respond to climate disasters.

  • Susan Hays, Democratic Nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan Hays, Nominee for Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan will

    • Reduce government red tape and incentivize sustainable practices with opportunities for funding that empower them to raise our livestock and our crops without harming our land, our water, and our air.

    • Connect landowners to payments for “carbon capture” — safe and effective practices that take carbon out of the atmosphere and put it in the soil, slowing down the impacts of climate change.

  • Luke Warford, Democratic Nominee for Texas Railroad Commission

    Luke Warford, Nominee for Railroad Commission

    Luke will

    • Reduce carbon emissions by enforcing existing rules in order to protect the reputation of Texas natural gas and prevent huge amounts of Texas’ precious natural resources from being wasted through flaring and venting.

    • Texas has been the energy capital of the world for nearly a century. Expanding our energy leadership will improve energy security and create jobs. We need to respond to demand by making our oil and gas cleaner, safer, and more affordable while also expanding Texas energy leadership in wind, solar, geothermal, carbon capture, and hydrogen.

    • Increase transparency and hold our Commissioners accountable to make sure they are serving the public interest, rather than the interest of their campaign donors. 70% of the current Commissioners’ campaign contributions come from the oil and gas industry — the primary industry they are charged with regulating.

Create Good-Paying Jobs

Workers are the backbone of America and massive corporations have gotten away with taking advantage of them for the sake of shareholder profits for too long, while corrupt Republicans have looked the other way in exchange for campaign donations. Electing Democrats will expand job opportunities in education, energy, technology, construction, healthcare, and agriculture.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will

    • Raise the minimum wage to ensure every Texan is paid the full value of their work, increase access to paid and sick leave, and make Texas a right-to-organize state.

    • Expand Medicaid to bring billions of dollars into the Texas economy and create nearly 300,000 jobs in the healthcare industry and beyond.

    • Add to our hundreds of thousands of oil and gas jobs by pursuing the Texas labor movement’s aggressive clean energy jobs plan, which aims to create 1.1 million high-paying jobs over the next 25 years by investing in geothermal power generation, hydrogen-fueled energy, offshore wind, solar generation, energy efficiency, and more.

    • Build out the roads, bridges, water systems, and broadband that will encourage economic development in our communities, spurring construction investments and jobs.

    • Create family-supporting infrastructure jobs — like child care and elder care- with good pay, good benefits, and good job training opportunities.

  • Mike Collier, Democratic Nominee for Texas Lt. Governor

    Mike Collier, Nominee for Lt. Governor

    Mike will fight for a living wage, safe working conditions, retirement security, and healthcare for all Texans — and he’ll work to create thousands of good-paying jobs with benefits, creating an economy that serves everyone, not just out-of-state corporations.

  • Rochelle Garza, Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General

    Rochelle Garza, Nominee for Attorney General

    Rochelle will protect the rights of workers to unionize, fight wage theft, and end health and safety violations that put workers in danger.

  • Susan Hays, Democratic Nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan Hays, Nominee for Agriculture Commissioner

    Susan will

    • Get Texans access to the federal rural economic development funding that already exists, supporting small businesses, healthcare jobs, education and daycare-related jobs, and support for farmers and ranchers.

    • Take advantage of federal programs and incentives for healthcare, broadband, and infrastructure that will return taxpayer dollars to Texas.

    • Set fair prices for hemp and cannabis licenses. Republican incumbent Sid Miller has been indicted for marking up the cost of hemp licenses, benefiting his rich corporate donors by blocking out family farms from this very profitable and growing market.

  • Luke Warford, Democratic Nominee for Texas Railroad Commission

    Luke Warford, Nominee for Railroad Commission

    Luke will expand our energy leadership to improve energy security and create jobs. Texas needs to respond to demand by making our oil and gas cleaner, safer, and more affordable while also expanding Texas energy leadership in wind, solar, geothermal, carbon capture, and hydrogen.

Support Border Communities and Legal Immigration Pathways

Our diversity is our strength, and immigrant communities are central to our state’s growth. Refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants must be welcome in Texas. We should be the leader in building a safe, legal, orderly immigration system that meets the needs of our state and country. No state has more to gain or lose.

  • Beto O'Rourke, Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor

    Beto O'Rourke, Nominee for Governor

    Beto will install more technology like sensors, surveillance towers, and drones that can detect crossings between ports of entry and help enforcement authorities carry out arrests. Beto will increase additional processing capacity to allow us to more efficiently screen migrants for asylum eligibility, run criminal background checks, and quickly deport anyone who is here illegally or who poses a threat to our country.

  • Rochelle Garza, Democratic Nominee for Texas Attorney General

    Rochelle Garza, Nominee for Attorney General

    Rochelle will make sure we stop wasteful expensive political students like the border wall and bussing people out of state — and instead increase accountability for improving legal immigration.
