Texas Platform Comparison
The 2026 Texas Republican Platform is extreme and out of touch with the values of most Texans. It is also holding us back from being the best state we can be.

Affordability and Inflation
Donald Trump promised to end inflation, but his policies have made it worse. Democrats have a plan to fix it - Republicans don't.

Taxes in Texas - who pays?
State and Local taxes in Texas are extremely regressive - we are one of the most regressive states. The highest income Texans pay a much lower tax rate than the rest of us.

Maternal Mortality in Texas
Maternal mortality in Texas is well above the US average (and the US is way above other advanced nations). Our healthcare policy choices are a big part of the reason. Expanding Medicaid and protecting rural hospitals provide many benefits , including safer deliveries.

Health Care - Access to Health Insurance
Texas has by far the highest rate of uninsured people in the US. Oklahoma is a distant second, at 11.7%. A major cause is the GOP-controlled Texas Legislature's refusal to expand Medicaid, as almost every other state has done. This is cruel to our people and hurts our economy.
Gun Deaths In Texas
Since Gov. Abbott took office in early 2015, gun deaths in Texas have increased 62%. Neither the Governor nor the Republican-controlled legislature have done anything to reduce gun violence.
