  • "Republicans want freedom to not wear a mask, freedom to carry guns, freedom to not take the vaccine. Texas women should have the freedom to make their own health decisions!" (twitter.com)
  • "I support programs that ensure that the basic needs of Americans are met, i.e., the health and education of low-income families, food assistance, child care credit, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, etc. I will seek to reduce the wide wealth inequality. No one should face discrimination because of race, religion, age, gender, or sexual orientation." (jonhaireforcongress.com)
  • "Healthcare should be accessible and affordable for everyone. Our state’s refusal to expand Medicaid greatly limits healthcare access and leads to premature deaths." (jonhaireforcongress.com)

  • "The big freeze in Texas this past winter showed that our electricity supply is unreliable. The Republicans’ claim that they have fixed the problem by requiring insulation of pumps is untrue. To fix the problem Texas must change the way the utility system in Texas is organized, managed, and administered. In addition to a supply of reliable electricity, Texans need expanded broadband Internet and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) services, particularly in rural areas. We also need flood protection to keep our homes, industry, and environment safe and sustainable." (jonhaireforcongress.com)

  • "I am in favor of 24-hour polling locations, drive-through voting, and mailing mail-in ballot applications to underserved and at-risk populations. I am against redundant photo identification for mail-in ballot requests and permitting aggressive poll watchers. Increased voter turnout does not increase fraud! We should seek every valid voice in every election instead of further restricting access to voting." (jonhaireforcongress.com)
  • "Voting is an essential American freedom. Everyone should have easy access to voting. My opponent voted against certifying the 2020 Presidential Election results. For this alone, he should be voted out of office!" (jonhaireforcongress.com)
  • "I believe–and the vast majority of scientists agree–that mankind’s activity is affecting the earth’s climate and that we are nearing a catastrophic tipping point where earth will become uninhabitable. Striving for a more sustainable environment means new job opportunities. For our children’s future, let’s limit greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, etc.) emissions!" (jonhaireforcongress.com)
  • "We should use all sources of energy, e.g., solar, wind power, nuclear, etc., for greater electric grid reliability, while minimizing those sources that produce greenhouse gases, e.g., carbon dioxide. See the "Climate Change" issue. I support the advancement of electric vehicles. We should pursue alternatives to our carbon energy economy. Transitioning from our current major energy sources to more sustainable ones means more job opportunities." (jonhaireforcongress.com)

  • "Healthcare inTexas is overpriced and fails to make Texans healthier. Republican leadership is careless and reckless regarding the health of Texans. Republican elected officials have banned mask mandates in schools and prohibited requiring proof of vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic that has killed more than 69,000 Texans. Mask-wearing policies should be decided at the local level. Healthcare should be accessible and affordable for everyone. Our state’s refusal to expand Medicaid greatly limits healthcare access and leads to premature deaths." (jonhaireforcongress.com)

  • "There should be a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants so that they can get driver’s licenses, pay taxes, etc. Let’s not have a "shadow" population. We are a nation of immigrants, but our rate of welcoming immigrants must be controlled. We should work with countries that generate the migrants to reduce the conditions that cause migration. Building "a wall" treats the symptom, not the root cause." (jonhaireforcongress.com)

They became wealthy because of the opportunities, infrastructure, and economic environment that the U.S. provides. They need to pay back and re-invest in our country, so that it can continue to prosper." (jonhaireforcongress.com)
