Marcos has fought tirelessly to elevate working people. He is running for Lieutenant Governor because Texans deserve leadership that listens, fights, and delivers. This moment demands bold action, real accountability, and a government that reflects the needs of working families across Texas. For most politicians, the cost of living and stagnant wages are just talking points. For Marcos, they are daily battles he takes on and wins, because Texans deserve a fair shot and a future they can afford.
Texans are paying more for groceries, housing, childcare, transportation and insurance than ever before. Families should not need multiple jobs to stay afloat. I will work to bring down everyday costs and deliver real property tax relief without taking money from our public schools.
For more than a decade I have successfully fought for higher pay, better benefits, and safer workplaces against some of the largest corporations in the United States. Texas needs a wage floor that respects the value of work and policies that lift working families instead of corporate profit margins. Adult children should not have to live with their parents into their 40s due to soaring costs and private equity purchasing single family homes.
Texas cannot thrive while its classrooms are underfunded. I will fully fund public education, raise teacher pay, and stop the political attacks on educators. Strong public schools strengthen every community in this state. Texas has the resources to do this while lowering property taxes. We need to stop robbing our education system.
Rural Texans feed and fuel this nation yet face crushing input costs and increasing pressure from developers and corporations. I will work to protect rural water, farmland, and local communities while supporting the ranchers and farmers who keep Texas running.
Government should work for Texans, not for corporate donors. I will push for transparency, accountability, and policies that reflect the needs of working families rather than the wishes of the ultra wealthy and the well connected. I will prioritize the needs of working Texans, families and retirees every day.
The American Dream is being suffocated by rising costs, corporate greed, and political leaders who lack either the desire or the backbone to fight for the people who elected them. I am running to restore fairness, rebuild opportunity, and defend the future of every Texas family.
The average life expectancy in Texas is 75.4 years.
Seniors have worked their entire lives. They should not have to choose between buying food or pharmaceuticals. They should not be afraid to run their air-conditioning in the summer because of the cost of electricity. They should not be forced out of their homes by property taxes and rising appraisals that only benefit state and corporate interests. They should not have to return to the workforce if they don’t want to.
I will fight to prioritize legislation that ensures seniors have stable, affordable access to essentials like housing, health care, and utilities. I will push for property tax relief and appraisal reforms so that homeowners are not displaced. I will advocate for protections and systems that respect decades of labor, so that people who built Texas can retire with dignity, not be pressured back into work just to make ends meet.
