Why is Courtney running?
"As a mother and a woman in Texas, I have felt the weight of decisions made by our representatives that threaten the freedoms and futures of families like mine. From inadequate healthcare legislation that puts women at risk, to the declining quality of public education, to the instability of our infrastructure systems that families and businesses rely on every day - I could no longer sit on the sidelines. These challenges made it clear to me that Texas needs a revolution in public leadership. Representatives who will actually listen to the people and fight for a future built on fairness, opportunity, and security. That is why I have put my name forward: to create a better Texas not only for my children, but for all children and all people across this great state."
