Issue Position: Rebuild Our Economy

Issue Position

Between the pandemic and the crash in oil prices, Houston is hurting right now. We need to rebuild our economy in a smart, sustainable way and provide support for our workers and small business owners. As your Representative, Ann will:

Support investments in renewable energy and flood mitigation projects, which will create good jobs and get Texans back to work, diversify our energy economy, and protect our community from the impacts of climate change in the years to come.
Protect our workforce by supplying critical PPE and testing capacity so they can safely return to work. We must also shore up state unemployment benefits, which are dangerously low in funding despite their essential role in easing the pain of this economic crisis.
Provide funding to small business owners getting back on their feet.
