A man at our town hall asked if love was too weak for this moment.  I told him: “My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe. A new kind of politics is possible.” And then it was proven in real time…

Honored to receive the endorsement of the Austin Chronicle in the TX-35 race. Their recognition of our momentum and commitment to working families means a great deal. We’re building a coalition across South Texas that’s ready to compete and ready to win. Let’s keep moving forward

This campaign is about service and showing up. I grew up on the Southeast Side, served as a Marine, and kept serving working families and veterans. I know this district because I’m from this district. I’ll fight for TX-35 every step of the way. Join us. Volunteer. Vote. #TX35

Grateful for the volunteers who showed up to block walk with us and for everyone who took time to listen and talk about our campaign. These conversations are why we do this. Excited to keep getting out and meeting folks across the district.

Around this time in 2020, I was in Cedar Rapids, Iowa knocking doors for then candidate Joe Biden. This weekend might be cold in San Antonio too, but if I was willing to brave an Iowa winter to help stop Trump, I’m asking you to walk with me right here at home.

The day before the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, I joined Michelle H. Davis and Benjamin Flores on The Lone Star Left podcast to talk about ICE accountability. What happened only reinforces why we need transparency, oversight, and respect for constitutional rights.

Started the morning at the MLK Day Veterans Coffee Social with the American Legion before the MLK March. Grateful for the chance to connect with fellow veterans and reflect on service, community, and Dr. King’s legacy. #TX35 #TeamLira #VeteransFirst #MLKDay
