FRIENDS, WE NEED A NEW DEAL FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
clayton's lone star of priorities
is that New Deal.
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL TEXANS
What is the point in having the freedom of speech, assembly, to vote, or any other freedom if you’re too sick to fully utilize them? Healthcare must be made a human right. As such, Clayton Tucker will fight for universal healthcare, aggressively address the veteran suicide and maternal mortality epidemics, lower prescription drug costs, & more.
See Clayton's healthcare plans here.
JOBS & ECONOMIC RIGHTS
Economic empowerment is necessary for personal freedom. As such, Clayton Tucker will fight to bring good jobs to urban and rural Texas, create a living wage, fight the pay gap, & more.
See Clayton's economic plans here.
SUPPORT EDUCATION & CHILDREN
As with healthcare, education and strong families are a major cornerstone of everything. Education is the catalyst for prosperity and strong families lead to safe neighborhoods. Clayton Tucker believes we must train and retain the highest-quality teachers, increase school safety, eliminate childhood hunger and homelessness, & more.

PROTECT ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE
No society can survive without water. As a former environmental researcher, Clayton walked through villages that were abandoned because they ran out of water. Clayton Tucker will protect our water supply and quality, heavily invest in solar and wind energy, & more.

CIVIL RIGHTS
We must do all that we can to keep our communities safe, but we must not allow ourselves to travel down the dark path of family separation. Mass incarceration for non-violent offenses destroys families, rips apart communities, and goes against who we are as a community and a country. As such, Clayton Tucker will focus on the violent offenders and organized crime who are involved with human trafficking and other violent activities, dismantle the black market by ending the prohibition on cannabis, promote policies that keep families together and strong, will fight to end the school to prison pipeline, & more.

IMMIGRATION
Texas is the friendship state. It's time for our government to reach for that ideal. Clayton will fight to keep families together, advocate for greater legal resources to speed up the immigration process, will protect DREAMers and others going through the process, will pressure Congress and the federal government to find real solutions, & more.

GOVERNMENT REFORM
As FDR once said: government is merely organized self-help. We have to organize government to help us—we the people—over the profits of big corporations. As such, Clayton will fight to end gerrymandering to ensure the people choose their electors and not the other way around, enact campaign donation and term limits, remove dark money from politics, and find new methods for government to fund itself instead of over-relying on property taxes.
