The Issues

Allison on the Issues

A fresh, new voice for our community, Allison is running to bring bold, honest leadership to the legislature. She’s committed to standing up for working families, fully funding public schools, and delivering real results for House District 108.

Allison believes every Texan deserves to live with dignity, safety, and equal opportunity. She supports defending personal freedoms and ensuring that all people are treated with respect under the law. She’s focused on solving real problems and standing up for what matters: strong public schools, affordable healthcare, safe communities, and economic opportunity for all.

  • Stronger, Fully Funded Public Schools

    Texas ranks 44th in the nation in terms of school spending - even as the state touts a record budget surplus. While the billion-dollar school voucher program making its way to Governor Abbott has been dubbed “school choice,” the reality is vouchers only give some students access to private schools while leaving behind disabled, neurodivergent, and low-income children.

    We need fighters in Austin who will prioritize our public schools, not outside, private interests operating at the expense of our children. As a proud public-school parent, Allison knows the value of good public schools, quality education, and the serious cuts many districts will have to make as a result of decreased public funding.

  • Strong Economy
    Texans need meaningful property tax relief – especially for middle class homeowners. By closing appraisal loopholes, maintaining property tax equity, and targeting relief to homeowners instead of corporate entities, we protect the tax base for our public schools without punishing the homeowner.

    Strengthening our middle class requires a multi-pronged strategy that addresses income inequality, economic mobility, and institutional reform. Allison knows the power of a strong consumer market, and she will fight for the prosperity and economic opportunity of every Texan.

  • Access
    Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people in the country and faces a record number of rural hospital closures. The state’s maternal mortality rate rose by 56% from the year 2019 to 2022. Affordable access to healthcare is not just a human right — it’s also smart policy. We can build on the progress of the Affordable Care Act by expanding Medicaid, lowering prescription drug costs, and offering a public option. No one should have to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on the table.

    Medicaid Expansion
    Access to healthcare is a basic right, and one that is fiscally responsible. Texas must expand Medicaid, which brings billions of federal dollars into the Texas economy and provides our most vulnerable community members with basic healthcare.

    Healthcare Workers
    Dedicating your career to healthcare is a calling, not a conspiracy. Our healthcare workers are increasingly facing burnout, physical harm, and threats. For Allison, this is personal. Her family’s medical background taught her the value of our doctors, nurses, community health workers, and clinics. Public health funding, research, and additional support of our mental health clinicians, as well as expansion of services in rural and impoverished communities, fosters a healthier and more prosperous Texas.
