Every Texan deserves the fundamentals of a stable life—affordable housing, food security, and healthcare that doesn’t break the bank. Chris will fight to make sure no one in Williamson County is forced to choose between paying rent, getting necessary healthcare, or feeding their family.

Affordable Housing & Property Taxes

• Fight for fair property tax policy that doesn’t push long-time residents out of their homes.

• Streamline local permitting processes and reduce unnecessary regulations to increase housing supply and make homes more affordable for working families.

• Lower the current 20% cap on how much a rental property’s taxable value can go up each year for landlords who charge fair-market rent or less. That way, renters are less likely to end up paying more than 40% of their income on housing and utilities, and responsible landlords get a break on their property tax bill.
  

Access to Basic Healthcare

• Expand Medicaid so that working adults who fall in the coverage gap—earning too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to afford insurance—can access basic preventative care like cancer screenings, manage chronic conditions, and fill prescriptions without choosing between medication and their rent or mortgage payment.

• Normalize mental health as part of preventive care so that people are more likely to ask for help early. This drives earlier intervention, better outcomes, and lower long-term costs.

• Push for further expansion of maternal and postpartum care to reduce complications, improve outcomes, and support healthy families.
  

Food Security & Local Agriculture

• Support urban agriculture and community gardens to increase local food production, provide hands-on education, and expand access to fresh produce in neighborhoods with limited grocery options.

• Provide property tax relief or incentives for farms that produce food for local markets, helping family farms stay viable while strengthening regional food systems.

• Support agricultural workforce development with training programs, apprenticeships, and partnerships that prepare young people for careers in farming, ranching, food production, and agribusiness.
