Q&A: Hear from the Democratic candidates running for US House District 31
What would your top priorities be if elected?
Lowering costs for working families, responsible AI and data protection, and strengthening democracy. That means affordable housing, protecting jobs and privacy as technology advances, defending voting rights, and ensuring government works for people, not corporations.
What are the biggest challenges facing this district?
Families here are working harder but falling further behind. Housing, healthcare, and basic costs keep rising while wages lag. Growth is happening, but everyday people are paying the price through traffic, overcrowded and underfunded schools, and a government that feels more responsive to powerful interests than to them.
What projects are most important for the U.S. Congress to focus on for the future of Texas?
Congress should focus on lowering costs and raising opportunities for working families. That means affordable housing, reliable infrastructure and power, good-paying jobs, broadband access, and rules that ensure new technologies like AI serve people, protect privacy, and strengthen democracy instead of undermining it.
