We’ve been conditioned to satisfy a few individuals at the top at the expense of everyone else. If we want our democracy to survive ...
Over half a million Americans don't have a place to call home. More than 25,000 are here in Texas. Veterans stand outside HEB in Austin, while our tax dollars fund endless wars. Donna’s solution ensures that cities nationwide have the resources to address homelessness, without burdening residents of compassionate communities. view
Donna's signature Healthcare for All policy (HCA) is a single-payer plan that fortifies and accelerates Medicare for All (M4A), drastically lowering the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs. HCA scales healthcare infrastructure, delivers higher quality care, and is cheaper than what we pay today. With HCA, your deductible won't keep you from seeing a doctor. view
Higher education and high skilled traning is the single most effective path to innovation and securing our nation's future. Donna's Education for All (EDA) policy proposal ensures everyone in the United States can go to college, trade schools, or certification programs without being in debt forever. view

Donna's Real Pay for All (RPA) policy proposal ensures that Americans thrive and not just survive. view
Black Americans represent 13% of the United States population, yet since 2015 they account for 26% of fatal police shootings.

There are more Veterans per square mile in the Central Texas area than anywhere else in the state. Many struggle to receive benefits that were promised to them. Donna’s solution addresses healthcare, homelessness, and suicide, all of which impact Veterans disproportionately. view

We need a swift path to citizenship for Dreamers and DACA recipients, and a legal way for the undocumented to come out of the shadows. We must protect workers by requiring employers to stop undercutting American wages by abusing immigrant pay.
Climate change is impacting our health, water, and food supply. Corporations and commercial fishing are the largest source of pollutants and plastics in the ocean. We need to diversify our energy sources with renewables, incentivize carbon neutral solutions, invest in research to mitigate climate change, and institute sustainable farming and fishing practices.
