About Jessica
I grew up knowing what it means to work hard and still wonder if it's ever going to be enough. Like so many families in Del Valle and across District 51, I've seen firsthand how rising costs, underfunded schools, and broken promises wear people down — and I've had enough of leaders who show up every election cycle and disappear right after.
Tesla is here. Samsung is here. Our kids are getting trained for real careers right in Del Valle — and that's something to be proud of. But while billion-dollar companies get tax breaks, our schools are cutting $13 million from their budget. I'll fight to make sure the economic boom in our backyard actually benefits our families — not just the corporations.
Clean, safe water is not a luxury — it's a basic right. Too many families in District 51 have dealt with water quality issues while those in power look the other way. I will fight to modernize our water infrastructure and hold polluters accountable. I'm running because District 51 deserves someone who actually lives here, knows our streets, and understands that the decisions made in Austin aren't abstract — they show up in your water bill, your kids' classroom, and your property tax notice. I'm not a career politician. I'm your neighbor, and I'm ready to fight for us.
