Grassroots Politics using Grassroots Economics centers the platform which includes initiatives for Healthcare For All, Housing For All, Nutritious Food For All, and Closing the Wealth Gap (end to poverty).

These are topics, issues and proposed legislation to sponsor, support and vote for that align with Truth, Justice and Repair for Texas District 5.

Texas District 5 citizens want access to HEALTHCARE WHEN WE NEED IT. In the state of Texas, our legislators decided for us, they would Not take our federal dollars to expand healthcare to supplement the Affordable Care Act. ACA premiums for Texans can be too costly for many household budgets. Additionally, healthcare providers are increasingly getting more frustrated with how the insurance claim processes work. Therefore, our Healthcare For All platform will return federal dollars to the people by supporting Community Clinics & Hospitals where both the local citizens and health professionals are empowered to providing care that fits the needs of the patient.

IT CAN'T BE that families in Texas 5th District are sleeping in their cars, shelters and on the streets while structurally sound properties sit empty. Our government has allowed investor groups to build and buy up residential homes that were really never meant to be anything more than an asset on a portfolio. Our Housing For All platform insist no U.S. citizen should ever be homeless as long as there is available hard shelter. A moratorium must be placed on portfolio-home-investment practices; and access to empty available housing must be afforded to families so there is Housing For All.

There is a distinct DIFFERNCE BETWEEN FOOD AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD. The lack of access to nutritious food in Texas District 5, and this country, is criminal. Our Nutritious Food For All platform demands every family be afforded access to foods that support the health and wellness of their bio-bodies. Our Nutritious Food For All platform not only addresses "food deserts" by expanding military commissaries to low-income U.S. citizens; but increased information on what we eat.

As a solution for a SUSTAINABLE END TO POVERTY in Texas District 5, and all of the United States, our campaign presents options for Closing the Wealth Gap between millionaires and disenfranchised citizens. Trickle down models must be replaced with Grassroots Economics. And the government is responsible to empowering community growth. There are pockets in Texas District 5 that show economic advancement; but most of it is through chain retail by which small businesses and individual entrepreneurs can not compete with. Creating economic empowerment zones, for communities that have been systemically impeded from building wealth, will be the start of Closing the Wealth Gap. Our platform will focus on repair unjust practices towards First Americans and descendants of American Freedmen communities. These are proven U.S. citizens who will stimulate growth into expanded markets; and funnel new wealth to future generations for a sustained end to poverty.
