Fix the Grid & Reduce Energy Bills
Why does it matter?
In the ninth largest economy in the world, we shouldn’t have to worry that the people in power can’t keep the power on for the people of Texas.
How will Beto deliver it?
We’re going to redesign the power grid to prioritize Texas families, not wealthy energy corporations. We’re going to 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. We’re going to prevent energy corporations from price-gouging Texans in the future and dramatically reduce Texans’ energy bills going forward.
Who should I talk to about it?
People affected by Winter Storm Uri

Trust Women & Their Doctors
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Beto deliver it?
While strengthening investments in affordable contraception, cancer screenings, and other crucial family planning services, he will also support healthy babies and combat Texas’ maternal mortality crisis by expanding Medicaid and increasing pregnancy Medicaid eligibility to one-year-postpartum.
Who should I talk to about it?
Women

Lower Property Taxes
Why does it matter?
In the seven years that Abbott has been governor, property taxes have skyrocketed $20 billion, with working families taking on a disproportionate share.
How will Beto deliver it?
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.
Who should I talk to about it?
Homeowners
Renters
Small scale landlords
-
Legalize Marijuana and Expunge Previous Records
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Beto deliver it?
As governor, he will legalize marijuana and expunge the records of those arrested for marijuana possession — and use the nearly $1 billion in new state revenue and reduced criminal justice costs to invest in public schools and reduce property taxes.
Who should I talk to about it?
Cannabis enthusiasts
Criminal justice advocates

We can protect the Second Amendment while protecting Texans from gun violence.
How will Beto deliver it?
Repeal the permitless carry law
Close the private sale background check loophole may have prevented the 2019 Midland-Odessa shooting;

Lead Border & Immigration Reform
Why does it matter?
Texas 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.
How will Beto deliver it?
Install more technology like sensors, surveillance towers, and drones that can detect crossings between ports of entry and help enforcement authorities carry out arrests. Adding 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.
Who should I talk to about it?

Fund Public Education
Why does it matter?
Every child in Texas deserves to have a quality education so they can have dreams as big as Texas. Our economy suffers if our state doesn’t educate our future workforce.
How will Mike deliver it?
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.

Fix The (Damn) Grid
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Mike deliver it?
Fix our vulnerable power grid by increasing energy production, transmission, and efficiency while also holding those that made billions during the freeze accountable. Support an all-of-the-above approach to energy to create thousands of jobs so that Texas remains the energy capital of the world.
Who should I talk to about it?
Parents
People who suffered from the blackout
Voters concerned about energy jobs
-
Rein In Property Taxes
Why does it matter?
Since Dan Patrick has been Lt. Governor, 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.
How will Mike deliver it?
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. Work tirelessly to provide much-needed relief to Texas families.
Who should I talk to about it?
Parents

-
Protect Reproductive Rights
Why does it matter?
Women should be the ones making decisions about when and if they start a family — not politicians.
How will Mike deliver it?
Fight to ensure that women and their doctors — not politicians — make decisions about their own healthcare. Repeal Texas' extreme laws that ban abortions — even in cases of rape or incest — and restore the protections afforded under Roe v. Wade.
Who should I talk to about it?
Doctors/healthcare providers
Women/people who can become pregnant
People who love them
-
Invest In Rural Communities
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Mike deliver it?
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.
Who should I talk to about it?
Rural voters
-
Create Good Paying Jobs and Benefits
Why does it matter?
The GOP has blocked federal funding to Texans for healthcare, childcare, infrastructure, and energy-related jobs. These partisan games keep billions out of the Texas economy and hurt working families.
How will Mike deliver it?
Fight for a living wage, safe working conditions, retirement security, and healthcare for all Texans; work to create thousands of good-paying jobs with benefits, creating an economy that serves everyone, not just out-of-state corporations.
Who should I talk to about it?

Voters concerned about retirement
-
Keep Our Communities Safe
Why does it matter?
All Texans want to protect themselves and their loved ones. Democrats not only believe in keeping police funded but also in proactive cost-saving and life-saving programs.
How will Mike deliver it?
Invest in law enforcement departments across the state in order to reduce crime as well as bolster training for officers. Enact common sense and popular policies, like investing in well-trained and accountable law enforcement officers, legalizing marijuana, ending permitless carry, raising the age to purchase a firearm to 21, and passing red flag laws so that tragedies like Uvalde and Santa Fe never happen again.

Legalize Cannabis & End Prosecution of Non-Violent Cannabis Possession
Why does it matter?
Nearly 70% of Texans support the legalization of cannabis, and the sale of cannabis can create more than 40,000 jobs for the state. It can also help bring in $1 billion in taxable revenue that we can invest in our roads and schools and keep low-level, non-violent offenders caught possessing small amounts of marijuana out of jails.
How will Rochelle deliver it?
Supporting and advocating for the legalization of marijuana and ending the prosecution of non-violent Texans charged with possession of marijuana.
Who should I talk to about it?
Cannabis enthusiasts
Black and brown Texans with misdemeanor records for cannabis possession

Empower Workers
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Rochelle deliver it?
Protect the rights of workers to unionize, fight wage theft, and end health and safety violations that put workers in danger.
Who should I talk to about it?
Hourly and low wage workers

Women

Protect LGBTQ+ Rights & Equality
Why does it matter?
In 2021, Texas saw Republicans introduce more anti-LGBTQ+ bills than any other state.
How will Rochelle deliver it?
File suits against local governments that discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community. Refuse to uphold discriminatory state laws passed by bigoted Republicans.
Who should I talk to about it?
LGBTQ+ folks and the people who love and support them
-
Reduce Energy Bills & Ensure Accountability for a Working Grid
Why does it matter?
No one has been held accountable for the failure of the Texas power grid in early 2021.
How will Rochelle deliver it?
Investigate what went wrong with our power grid to ensure that it can never happen again and hold accountable bad actors who price-gouged Texans during Winter Storm Uri.
Who should I talk to about it?
Voters affected by the grid failure
Voters concerned about rising energy prices

Protect All Texans - Including Immigrants

Legalize It
Why does it matter?
Legalizing adult-use recreational cannabis will bring in $1 billion in fresh revenue to, as an example, reduce property tax, fund education, healthcare (including mental health), and public safety. Legalizing cannabis will save $300 million in state taxes spent on criminal justice costs – and property taxes spent on incarceration.
How will Janet deliver it?
Ensure the licenses are available to those who have been affected by the misguided drug policy. Provide guidance in best practices to help ensure the business is successful. Explore a low-income grant program, funded from a portion of the proceeds of legalization, to help with hard start-up costs for certain license holders.
Who should I talk to about it?

Reduce Methane (Greenhouse Gas) Emissions
Why does it matter?
Doing nothing about methane is costing us billions of dollars with each climate-caused disaster. Texas is a super-emitter of methane, one of the leading causes of climate change.
How will Janet deliver it?
Methane is fuel. Fuel is money. Capture methane on state-owned land to increase profits and increase severance taxes while curbing the root cause of climate change.
Who should I talk to about it?
Voters concerned about environment
Voters concerned about climate change

Fix the Grid & Lead in Energy Innovation
Why does it matter?
The Comptroller oversees the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), which oversees renewable energy and alternative fuels. Texas leads the world in oil and gas and leads the country in wind energy. Let’s expand the market and lead the world in energy innovation.
How will Janet deliver it?
Through SECO, work with local governments to implement bi-directional electric vehicles to meet fleet needs – and feed energy to the government’s building, to the supporting utility, and to the grid. We have two times the amount of renewable storage just in Nisson Leaf passenger vehicles – and more bi-directional vehicles are coming onto the market.
Work with stakeholders to standardize fast electric vehicle chargers across all brands and work with TexDot to space along Texas highways.
Who should I talk to about it?
Rural voters
-
Expand Broadband
Why does it matter?
Reliable broadband expands economic, health, and educational opportunities for rural communities.
How will Janet deliver it?
The Comptroller’s office houses the Broadband Development Office, which awards grants and low-interest loans. Work with local governments and cooperatives to provide broadband through the government or co-op to keep broadband costs low and provide a revenue stream to the local entity.
This may need a legislative change, since the Republican-led legislature forbade local governments to provide internet after a northern Texas city did so successfully.
Who should I talk to about it?
Rural voters
-
Expand Medicaid
Why does it matter?
Right now, the only Texas adults covered under Medicaid are pregnant people, disabled people (who sometimes have to wait 20 years for approval), and very low-income elderly people. With no preventive care, indigent people have no preventive care. When they end up in the emergency room, that care is paid from our local property taxes.
Additionally, the state is currently spending $100 million more in state tax dollars to deny coverage than we would to expand Medicaid for comprehensive mental and physical health care for ~2 million adult Texans.
Expanding Medicaid will have a tremendous effect on our economy.
How will Janet deliver it?
Advocate to expand health care to the ~2 million Texans who qualify under federal rules for Medicaid. This would also add half a million jobs and bring in an estimated $45 billion to our state economy.
Who should I talk to about it?
Voters concerned about healthcare
Voters 60+ years of age
Healthcare workers

Control Property Tax Appraisals
Why does it matter?
The Comptroller’s office oversees property tax appraisals for public school purposes. Texas’ loopholes give unearned breaks to huge corporations, leaving us regular homeowners with the bill. Corporations also take advantage of property tax abatements (10 years of free property taxes) through a contract with the Comptroller in which the corporation promises to provide x-number of jobs.
While homestead exemptions help homeowners reduce their property tax bill, the exemption does nothing to lower the cost for renters or small businesses.
How will Janet deliver it?
Work with our next Lt Governor, Mike Collier, to close the appraisal loophole.
Verify compliance on corporate public school property tax abatements (giveaways). “Claw back” onto the appraisal rolls if terms are not met.
Investigate appraisal methodology to make sure it’s being fairly implemented.
Who should I talk to about it?
Homeowners
Small business owners
Small volume landlords
Voters concerned about property taxes
-
Fight For Public School Benefits
Why does it matter?
Most Texas teachers have no social security coverage, meaning that when they retire, they are surviving only on TRS, which has not seen a COLA (cost of living adjustment) since the Republicans took control.
Additionally, the current Comptroller is wasting between $300 million and $½ billion of state pension funds by “playing politics” on who can invest the funds.
How will Janet deliver it?
“Draw a line in the sand” and start covering social security for our public school employees.
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.

Better Invest Resources to Fund Public Schools
Why does it matter?
Texas has the largest educational endowment in the United States, but our state ranks 44th in per-pupil spending. Funding for the Permanent School Fund has more than tripled over the last 30 years, yet its contribution to public schools has remained virtually unchanged. Homeowners and renters have been left picking up the tab.
How will Jay deliver it?
Reduce the burden on taxpayers and improve K-12 education with better investment of the Permanent School Fund, increasing public school funding.

Manage Texas Land Responsibly
Why does it matter?
The land is the cornerstone of our vibrant and functioning ecosystem. It filters air and water pollutants; minimizes the impact of increasing natural disasters through flood mitigation; and provides wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and economic benefits.
How will Jay deliver it?
Implement sustainable agricultural and wildlife management practices; partner with conservation organizations and industries to protect our land for future generations.

Protect Texas’ Coasts for Future Generations
Why does it matter?
Over the last 10 years, weather-related disasters have increased in frequency and severity — and will only continue to get worse.
How will Jay deliver it?

Voters in coastal communities

Help All Texas Families Affected By Natural Disasters
Why does it matter?
George P. Bush, the current land commissioner, withheld money from Harris County residents after Hurricane Harvey to punish liberal Mayors and liberal voters. Texans shouldn’t have to fear having their own taxpayer dollars withheld from them during their time of need.
How will Jay deliver it?
Fully fund, staff, and prepare all of our community partners so all Texans have what they need to prevent and respond to disasters.
Who should I talk to about it?
Voters who have experienced natural disasters
-
Invest in Texas Veteran Care
Why does it matter?
Texas veterans have put their lives on the line for our countries. We owe them our support. The land commissioner runs programs for low-interest homes loans and other housing options for Texas veterans.
How will Jay deliver it?
Improve the existing housing options for veterans with upgrades to existing facilities and by lowering interest rates on veteran home loans.
Who should I talk to about it?
Veterans and their families
-
Modernize Energy Production on Public Lands
Why does it matter?
The demand for green energy is growing. The Texas GOP’s refusal to accept this doesn’t make it any less true and the federal government is willing to pay us for diversifying our energy sources.
How will Jay deliver it?
Expand low-carbon technology on Texas' offshore lands. Diversify our energy investments on state lands with a focus on long-term environmental sustainability and revenue production.
Who should I talk to about it?

Fight Corruption and Bring Honor Back to the Ag Commission
Why does it matter?
The Republican Incumbent Sid Miller is a smorgasbord of scandal. His own consultant has been indicted for trying to sell hemp licenses that only cost $100 for tens of thousands of dollars. Instead of making the Commission work for Texas, Sid has it working for Sid and his friends.

Save Rural Healthcare, Save Rural Towns
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Susan deliver it?
Expand Medicaid and take advantage of federal programs and incentives for healthcare, broadband, and infrastructure that will return taxpayer dollars to Texas

Legalize Cannabis & Give Small Farmers a Chance to Profit
Why does it matter?
Cannabis has life-changing benefits for many people, from veterans and assault victims suffering from PTSD, to people struggling with chronic pain or neurological issues, to a busy mom who just wants a good night’s sleep. Texas is missing out on significant economic development opportunities and tax revenues that could benefit all Texans.
How will Susan deliver it?
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.
Who should I talk to about it?
Cannabis enthusiasts
Farmers and small business owners

Restore Healthy School Lunches
Why does it matter?
60% of Texas school kids are eligible to receive free or reduced meals through their school, and for many kids, this is the only nutritious meal they regularly have access to. Republican incumbent Sid Miller has defunded school meals, forcing many districts to stock unhealthy options. Kids can’t learn when they’re hyped up on sugary snacks instead of nutritious meals.
How will Susan deliver it?
Incentivize districts to have healthy school lunches and promote a garden at every school so kids learn about ag and healthy food.
Who should I talk to about it?
Parents

-
Expand Medicaid to Keep Dollars in Texas
Why does it matter?
All working Texans pay into the Medicaid system, but right now Texas Republicans block Texans from receiving the maximum amount of services, even though they’re paying for it.
Refusing to expand Medicaid just to spite Democrats only ships our money off to other states while shortchanging Texans.
This hurts rural communities the worst because without expanded Medicaid, rural folks only have access to medical care through private insurance, which can then gouge prices due to lack of competition.
How will Susan deliver it?
Fight to expand Medicaid and end health insurers’ practice of only offering insurance in certain counties.
Who should I talk to about it?
Medicaid recipients
-
Revitalize Rural Economies
Why does it matter?
Rural Texas needs creative solutions to the lack of opportunities for young people, population loss, and businesses being run out.
How will Susan deliver it?
Take advantage of the federal rural economic development funding that already exists, supporting small businesses, healthcare training, education and daycare-related jobs, and support for farmers and ranchers.
Who should I talk to about it?
Rural communities
-
Expand Opportunity Through Rural Broadband
Why does it matter?
Rural broadband is critical to economic development, access to healthcare, and access to education. More and more higher-paying jobs can be done remotely, which creates an opportunity for small towns to attract high-wage earners — but only if they have the internet speeds available.
How will Susan deliver it?
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.
Who should I talk to about it?
Rural communities
People who want to move to rural areas

Reward Sustainable Agriculture & Water Practices
Why does it matter?
We can raise our livestock and our crops without harming our land, our water, and our air. We must work smarter to avoid another Dust Bowl.

Connect Landowners to Climate Saving Programs
Why does it matter?
Farmers’ and ranchers’ economic stability will be hit first and hardest if weather-related disasters keep hitting Texas. Federal funding is available to help landowners put protections in place — and even get paid to do it.
How will Susan deliver it?
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.

Weatherize Our Natural Gas Infrastructure
Why does it matter?
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.
How will Luke deliver it?
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.

Reduce Carbon Emissions
Why does it matter?
Carbon emissions are directly driving climate change, causing deadly extreme weather events and crop failures, and leaving a less habitable planet for future generations. International buyers are increasingly committed to buying lower-emissions energy exports, and we have to ensure Texas remains competitive by lowering our emissions.
How will Luke deliver it?
Enforce 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.

Expand Texas Energy Leadership
Why does it matter?
Texas has been the energy capital of the world for nearly a century. Expanding our energy leadership will improve energy security and create jobs.

Fight Corruption to Protect our Air & Water
Why does it matter?
70% of the current Commissioners’ campaign contributions come from the oil and gas industry — the primary industry they are charged with regulating. The Commission regularly makes decisions that pollute our air and water without debate or public testimony.
How will Luke deliver it?
Increase transparency and hold our Commissioners accountable to make sure they are serving the public interest, rather than the interest of their campaign donors.
