ISSUES
Health Care
Rhetta wants to ensure all Texans have access to quality healthcare. She will work on expanding affordable medical coverage to improve overall health, through preventative care programs. Rhetta will fight against any law that attempts to take away protections and access to affordable healthcare.
Criminal Justice Reform & Racial Justice
Rhetta is proud to have been a part of key criminal justice reforms that were passed in the 86th and 87th Legislative Sessions. While there is a lot more work to do to ensure racial justice and make the criminal justice system work for everyone.
Education
Investing in our teachers, students, and neighborhood public schools will continue to be Rhetta’s top priority in Austin and has to be a top priority for the state. In her first legislative session in 2019, Rhetta co-authored House Bill 3, which invested $11 billion in our public education system.
Gun Safety
Rhetta is a proud gun safety advocate and has been one of the few voices advocating for gun safety as Vice Chair of the Committee of Homeland Security and Public Safety. She strongly believes that we need to curtail gun violence in our communities and schools
Redistricting
In my new map, I will represent less of Rowlett and completely lose Sunnyvale, Dallas, Seagoville, Combine, and most of Balch Springs. Rhetta will fight to make sure our maps are fair for all Texans.
