Affordable Healthcare
No one should have to make the decision between paying for their medication and keeping their lights on. The Obama-Biden administration changed the landscape of healthcare in America, ensuring coverage for people with preexisting conditions, and ending the gender discrimination that required women to pay more for the same insurance coverage as men. But there is still a lot of work to be done.
Immigrant Rights
Trump and Texas Republicans like Ted Cruz like to talk about the “crisis” at the Southern border. What they won’t tell you is that they caused it and they have walked away from a bipartisan bill to fix it because they don’t want to give Democrats “a win.” While Republicans are preoccupied with “wins and losses”, Democrats are at creating immigration policies that reflect our commitment to human rights.
Fair Housing
In Dallas County, the average family of four makes $86,000 in annual household income–$18,000 less than the living wage in Dallas County. Because of Texas Republicans, Texas has one of the lowest minimum wages in the entire country, making it impossible for everyday Texans to get and stay ahead.
Gun Safety
Dropping off your child at school and saying a little prayer, checking for the exit in a crowded movie theater, and watching yet another mass shooting unfold on national television… these are not normal experiences. Under the Biden-Harris administration, Democrats passed the most comprehensive gun safety legislation in decades, but it didn’t go far enough. If elected, Texas Democrats would pass gun safety legislation that would create a safer state and save innocent lives.
Student Loans
The weight of student loans has become a roadblock for countless Americans striving for a better future.
For many, pursuing higher education should have led to new opportunities and financial stability. Instead, it has resulted in overwhelming debt, preventing people from buying homes, starting businesses, or saving for the future. The truth is that student loan relief isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about removing barriers to the American Dream.
That’s why the Democratic Party stands firmly for meaningful student loan reform. We believe that education should be a path to prosperity, not a lifelong burden. From supporting debt relief programs to advocating for fairer repayment plans, Democrats are committed to a system that works for borrowers—not big lenders.
This November, make your voice heard. If you’re tired of the debt and want real change, vote for leaders who prioritize students and families. Vote for loan relief. Vote Democratic.
Reproductive Rights
Whatever happened to “small government,” Republicans? Texas Republicans have spent the past five decades chipping away at your personal rights and freedoms, exerting control over when and how you raise your family, worship, and live your life. Kamala Harris and Texas Democrats will stand for freedom by ensuring nationwide abortion access.
LGBTQIA+ Rights
Instead of fixing the power grid, funding our public schools, or improving the lives of working people, Texas Republicans have spent their time stripping away the rights and freedoms of LGBTQIA+ Texans. While many Democratic-led states have established anti-descriminicaniton legislation to protect LGBTQIA+ people, Texas Republicans have actively fought against measures to protect LGBTQIA+ people. Texas: it is time to replace Republican leadership and elect Democrats who will stand up for the freedoms of ALL Texans.
