Criminal Justice & Public Safety

  • “Every courtroom across this Great State displays a symbol that reminds us justice is for all. While this is true, justice must be demanded by most. In 2020, Texas must demand this just by leading the way in decriminalizing victims of trafficking, addiction and those whose cases are disposed. Texas must restore access to the rights we all hold in the highest esteem: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Education

  • “Akilah looks forward to continuing that fight for Texas education as your next State Representative for Texas House District 138 by requiring the State to pay its Constitutionally mandated 50% share, and equitably distributing additional funding, so that all public school graduates leave our schools with same standard of education.”

Healthcare

  • “Texas has the highest overall uninsured rate in the country, the highest rate of uninsured kids, and the highest rate of uninsured women of childbearing age. More than a quarter of Texans, over 4.5 million, lack access to health-care coverage.”
  • “Even with the ACA Marketplace, many Texas residents live where there is minimal competition. Akilah will advocate for creating a commission to ascertain how best to structure a potential public option that would increase ACA Marketplace competition and allow Texas residents to always have an option for health-care coverage, regardless of their location.“

Infrastructure & Environment

  • “Climate change will have a massive effect on the economy and public health of Texas. In less than two decades, climate change will cause approximately 2,570 heat-related deaths, a 7% increase ($3.7 billion) increase in electricity costs, and a 22% decrease in crop production.”
  • “While Texas cannot single-handedly prevent climate change, it is important for each level of government to act. Akilah's legislative action will include support in increasing clean energy subsidies, economic incentives, and partnering with industry and agency leaders to preserve a world for future generations. “
