On Education:
STEM education is key to retaining U.S. leadership globally
Expanding STEM education is the key for America to remain a leader in innovation in the global economy. I'm committed to expanding STEM education in our state as well as in our country and getting our students interested in STEM fields.
I devoted my legislative career to this issue and introduced numerous legislations that would incentivize college graduates with degrees in a STEM field to teach.

On Energy & Oil:
Has net-zero carbon emission goal for U.S.
I have focused on finding innovative mitigation and adaptation strategies to address the climate crisis. Additionally, the Science Committee has committed to passing bipartisan legislation that invests in nearly all forms of clean energy
R&D as well as innovative research into ocean acidification and plastic waste reduction. I look forward to passing that legislation into law very soon so we can begin to develop abundant strategies to reach a net-zero carbon emission America.

ACA is an important step in giving all access to good care
Q: Texas has the lowest rate of health insurance coverage in the nation, resulting in reduced access to care and worse health outcomes. How would you ensure that all Texans have access to high-quality healthcare?A: As a non-practicing registered
nurse, I understand how important access to quality, affordable health care is for all Americans. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, millions of Texans are already seeing lower health care costs and receiving better insurance coverage.

On Immigration:
Give business the freedom to hire skilled foreign workers
We should create a twenty-first century immigration system that will stimulate jobs, enhance global competitiveness, and help to grow a highly skilled U.S. workforce. The bipartisan Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act gives American businesses the
freedom to hire and retain the skilled workers they need. Many of companies depend on foreign professionals who graduate with critical science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, degrees from U.S. universities.
