We're the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee
Texas House Democrats PrioritiesYou work hard. You deserve a fair shot at the American dream. That's the promise Texas House Democrats are making to you. We want to make Texas a state you can afford, a place where you can save for the future, and where your life is safe, healthy, and secure.
Whether you're trying to grow a family, buy your own home, start a business, or achieve your dreams, our commitment is to the hardworking people who call Texas home.
Lower Costs
Lowering costs by cracking down on price gouging, cutting property taxes, and protecting working families' paychecks.
Right now, too many Texans are working hard and still falling behind. Rent keeps going up. Groceries cost more. Property taxes squeeze homeowners every year. That's not right, and it's not the Texas we believe in.
Texas House Democrats fight to lower costs for hardworking families. We want to crack down on price gouging, so big companies can't jack up prices to make more money. We want to cut property taxes, so you don't get priced out of your own home. And we want to protect working families' paychecks, so the money you earn actually goes further.
Better Healthcare
Improving healthcare by expanding access and standing up to insurance companies that put profits over patients.
Every Texan deserves to see a doctor when they're sick. Every parent deserves to get their kids the care they need. But too many Texans can't afford healthcare, or they live too far from a hospital, or their insurance company denies the care they were promised.
Texas House Democrats believe healthcare should be about people, not profits. We want to expand access, so more Texans can see a doctor, fill a prescription, or go to the hospital without going broke. We want to protect rural hospitals, so families in small towns aren't left without care. And we want to stand up to insurance companies that care more about their bottom line than your health.
Too many Texans have been denied the care they needed. Too many families have gone into debt just trying to stay healthy. That's not right, and it has to change.
We believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege for people who can afford it. That's why we're fighting for a Texas where you can take care of your family without fear of losing everything.
Texas House Democrats know that when Texans work hard, they deserve to prosper. That's why we are proud of our priorities to make Texans' lives better.
Saving our neighborhood schools
Saving our neighborhood schools by investing in them instead of vouchers.
Every child deserves a good school close to home. But instead of investing in our public schools, some Republicans want to hand out vouchers that drain money away from the classrooms our children depend on. That's not a solution. That's a giveaway that leaves our neighborhood schools with less.
Texas House Democrats believe in a different path. We want to fully fund our public schools, so classrooms have what they need, your child's teachers get paid what they deserve, and every student gets a world-class education. We also want to lower your property taxes and take the pressure off homeowners by making our state pay its fair share.
Creating good jobs
Creating good jobs by offering incentives for small businesses.
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. The local restaurants, family-owned shops, home services, and business services that power our neighborhoods. When small businesses do well, our whole community does well.
Texas House Democrats believe in helping small businesses grow. We want to offer real incentives, like tax breaks and support, so small business owners can hire more workers, pay better wages, and keep their doors open. We want starting a business in Texas to be easier, not harder.
Right now, big corporations get plenty of help while small businesses are often left to fend for themselves. When we invest in small businesses, we're investing in good jobs, strong communities, and a Texas economy that works for everyone, not just big corporations at the top.
Texas House Democrats are fighting for you. We won't stop until every hardworking Texan can afford to live, work, and raise a family in the state we love.
Ending Corruption
Ending corruption and corporate greed by putting the people first and ending tax breaks for billionaires.
For too long, Republicans in Austin have handed out favors to billionaires and big corporations while working families and small businesses get left behind. Billionaires get tax breaks. Corporations get special deals. And regular Texans are left footing the bill.
Texas House Democrats believe it's time for that to end. We want to put Texans first, not corporate donors and billionaires. Our government should work for you. You deserve leaders who make decisions based on what's best for our communities, not for whoever writes the biggest check.
