LET'S BUILD AN INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY FOR ALL

Raja is an ardent advocate for federal voting rights legislation, specifically supporting the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. These landmark bills would establish national standards for voter access, combat gerrymandering through independent redistricting commissions, and restore the protections of the original Voting Rights Act that were weakened by Supreme Court decisions.

He also champions automatic voter registration, which would streamline the process and ensure that every eligible citizen can exercise their right to vote without unnecessary barriers. In a state where voter suppression tactics have disproportionately affected communities of color and low-income voters, these measures are essential for a functioning democracy.

At the district level, Raja is fighting for more voting locations in underrepresented communities, ensuring adequate resources for early voting, and providing translation services so that language is never a barrier to civic participation. He believes that democracy works best when everyone can participate freely and fairly.

Raja also refuses to accept donations from corporate PACs and vows to work toward reversing Citizens United, recognizing that the influence of dark money in politics undermines the voices of ordinary citizens and distorts the democratic process.

Raja believes that Texas is ground zero for the Republican attack on reproductive rights, and he is dedicated to fighting back at every level. His platform includes increasing access to reproductive healthcare, repealing the Hyde Amendment to ensure federal funding can support abortion services, and codifying Roe v. Wade through the Women's Health Protection Act.

He is committed to ensuring access to abortion care, contraceptive services, and comprehensive sex education throughout Texas. These are fundamental healthcare services that should be available to every person who needs them, regardless of their zip code or economic status.

Raja will fight against extreme anti-abortion laws that have been enacted in Texas, including bans on insurance coverage for abortion, restrictions on medication abortion, forced ultrasound requirements, and unnecessary regulations designed to shut down clinics. These laws put politicians between patients and their doctors, creating dangerous obstacles to essential care.

Beyond legislative action, Raja supports organizations that provide direct reproductive healthcare services and advocates for policies that address the full spectrum of reproductive health, from prenatal care to family planning, ensuring that every Texan can make their own healthcare decisions without government interference.

Raja is committed to protecting the environment and reducing Texas's carbon footprint through a comprehensive approach that includes reducing energy consumption and waste, encouraging reuse and recycling programs, and investing heavily in renewable energy sources. Texas has enormous potential for solar and wind energy, and Raja believes the state should be leading the clean energy transition.

His environmental platform also emphasizes advocating for sustainable practices across industries, supporting local clean-up efforts in communities affected by pollution, and partnering with environmental organizations to amplify conservation efforts. Texas's natural resources—from its coastline to its vast prairies—deserve protection for future generations.

Education plays a central role in Raja's environmental vision. He believes that informed communities are better equipped to make sustainable choices and hold polluters accountable. By promoting environmental stewardship through schools and community programs, Texas can build a culture of conservation from the ground up.

Raja also recognizes the disproportionate impact of environmental degradation on low-income communities and communities of color. Environmental justice is a core component of his platform, ensuring that no community bears an unfair burden of pollution or is excluded from the benefits of clean energy investment.

Raja supports comprehensive criminal justice reform that addresses systemic inequities while keeping communities safe. His priorities include passing the MORE Act to legalize marijuana at the federal level and expunge the records of those convicted for cannabis offenses, which have disproportionately affected Black and Latino communities across Texas and the nation.

He advocates for ending cash bail, which traps low-income defendants in a cycle of incarceration simply because they cannot afford to pay, regardless of the severity of their charges. Raja also supports expanding alternatives to incarceration, such as community-based programs, restorative justice initiatives, and diversion programs that address root causes of criminal behavior.

Mental health is central to Raja's criminal justice platform. He believes in funding mental health and substance use services as alternatives to criminalization, investing in mental health services for both communities and incarcerated individuals, and creating clear pathways for re-entry into society after incarceration. These investments reduce recidivism and create safer communities for everyone.

Raja also supports increased training for law enforcement in areas including implicit bias, de-escalation techniques, and cultural competency. By improving police-community relations and ensuring accountability, Texas can build a justice system that is fair, effective, and trusted by all its residents.

There are many ways to get involved with Raja's campaign for Texas. The most direct way is to sign up as a volunteer through the campaign website, where you can provide your email and zip code to join the team. Volunteers play a critical role in grassroots organizing, voter outreach, and community engagement efforts throughout the district.

Residents can also attend campaign events, town halls, and community forums to learn more about Raja's positions and share their own concerns and ideas. These events are held regularly throughout the district and provide opportunities for direct dialogue with the candidate and campaign leadership.

Spreading the word is another powerful way to support the campaign. Sharing information about Raja's platform with friends, family, and neighbors helps build the grassroots momentum needed to create real change. Word of mouth remains one of the most effective tools in democratic engagement.

For those who want to stay informed, following the campaign through email updates ensures you receive the latest news, event announcements, and calls to action. Every voice matters in building the inclusive democracy that Texas deserves, and Raja's campaign is built on the belief that ordinary people working together can achieve extraordinary results.
