I’m running for Houston City Council, District C because City Hall has chosen pre-compliance over protection, and Houstonians are paying for it.

I’m a teacher watching students disappear from classrooms while city leadership refuses to be honest about HPD’s cooperation with ICE or act to protect families. I’m a queer woman watching excuses replace leadership as state-sanctioned bigotry escalates.

More than sixty percent of Houston’s operating budget goes to policing, while housing, public health, education, and basic services are left underfunded. This is not inevitability; it’s an active choice.

My background is in labor organizing, policy analysis, and legislative work in Texas. I’ve spent years pressing officials where decisions are actually made.

I’m running because Houston has been forced into a fight that our leaders will not defend us from, to use accountability and pressure that refuses quiet compliance. Houston needs protection and resolve.
