- I will defend a womanâs right to choose. I support the Roe vs. Wade and oppose any attempts to undermine it. Given todayâs Supreme Court, there is a need for federal action. That includes ensuring that all women, regardless of their income have access to reproductive care. (duncanfortexas.com)

- "I will work to improve the Affordable Care Act and break the gridlock in Texas on expanding Medicaid insurance to more than five million uninsured Texans." (ballotpedia.org)
- Obamacare greatly improved healthcare for millions of Americans, but there is still more work to be done. I will support continued expansion of healthcare for those not insured and legislation to ensure affordability for all Americanâs in the future. This starts with encouraging Texas to accept the Medicaid expansion that would allow 1.2 million more Texans to have healthcare and drive down the tax burden of providing basic healthcare for uninsured Texans.

- In addition to our most current needs, I will work hard each day to support small business owners and entrepreneurs. So much of the incentives in our economy are designed for large businesses and corporations. We need economic policies that promote locally owned small businesses that keep resources in the local community and build wealth. (duncanfortexas.com)

- "Getting the supply chain moving, tackling inflation, and promoting jobs should be Congress number one priority. Today, too many lawmakers are too focused on spending time on Twitter rather than solving our greatest challenges as a country. We must work with industry leaders and labor to identify and solve the supply chain issues and adopt responsible fiscal policy to combat inflation." (duncanfortexas.com)

- One of my top priorities is passing Comprehensive Immigration Reform. We have an immigration crisis in the United States because Congress has failed to act on Comprehensive Immigration Reform for the past 35 years. The last reform legislation was passed in 1986. For it to be successful, any reform must provide a path to citizenship for those currently in the US living a productive life and enhanced border security using the latest in high tech security. Building the Trump border wall is not only fiscally irresponsible, it is totally ineffective. I will work hard every day to work with members from both sides of the aisle to develop and pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform. If Congress would just do their job, our current immigration crisis would have never happened. It is time to act! (duncanfortexas.com)
