now or never

These turbulent times bring great opportunity—the opportunity to do things differently, to do things right.  With big ideas and bold leadership, Central Texas will come back from these difficult days better than ever. But the door has also been opened to division and fear, and the decisions we make today will reverberate for generations to come.  So now is the time for us to live up to our full potential.  Now is the time to dream big.  Now is the time to put Texas ideals and Texas prosperity to work for all Texans.

    Priorities

    It's no secret: Central Texas is one of the best places to live in the world—maybe the best. But now more than ever, our state needs bold ideas from intrepid leaders. Fortunately, Texas was built on big dreams. Together, we can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make Texas the world leader in:

    Reform
    Civility, transparency, and compassion in government. Justice and democracy for all Texans, not just a select few.
    Prosperity
    Prosperity that extends to everyone in the state. Affordable essentials, quality jobs, and business that gives back.
    Community
    Preservation of historic neighborhoods. Superior public schools and affordable higher education. Safer communities.
    Mobility
    A New Deal for Texas infrastructure. Local and long-distance rail. Smarter toll roads. Incentives for working remotely.

    on the agenda

    We’ll get through this—but we don’t want to go back to “normal” when it’s all said and done.  We need to come back bigger and better.

    It’s no secret that our cities are becoming too expensive for longtime residents.  And every Texan deserves a basic roof over their head.

    It’s time for a fair deal for workers, new revenue streams, less corporate welfare, and more support for small businesses.

    The time has come for immediate reforms to repair the relationship between Texas’ justice system and the people it exists to protect.

    Our historic neighborhoods, with their ancient trees and well-preserved houses, are a vital part of our state’s history and the soul of our cities.

    More options for students, training for tomorrow. A level playing field.  Fair pay and benefits for teachers.

    Everything that Texans feel strongly about—police reform, affordability, economic opportunity—depends on good government.

    We spend too much time in traffic and too much money on roads for businesses and suburbanites.  We need a more unified approach.

    Texas is rich, and Texans are hard-working. So every Texan should benefit from the bounty of our great state.
