In June, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that married same-sex couples may not qualify for spousal benefits provided by government employers. We know that people want to hear alternative solutions to the issues facing our state, so I know they’re going to listen.The legislature will also consider a third bill, Senate Bill 23, which would wipe out all current LGBTQ non-discrimination ordinances in the Texas cities of Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Plano. This is a campaign where I’ll be going out all over Texas and speaking with people one-on-one to get our message out. I plan to be a lot smarter with the spending of money. Abbott has a nearly $41 million war chest heading into his re-election campaign. We already have donations coming in from all over the state as we build momentum, more and more people will get on the bandwagon. We already have a huge grassroots campaign out there. Right now, we’re building our campaign headquarters and the money that I have is something that we’ll fall back on when we need it. When are you going to give your campaign the $2.5 million, and how will you sustain your campaign beyond that? We should all have careers outside of politics and serve out of a duty and love for our state. I believe public service is something we should do where we’re not depending on that to supplement our living. 1 on my list of things to do, but it’s not my career. This is a job I would take very seriously and would be No. I consider myself a good candidate, but I’m not sure why the Democrats were not able to - or have not been able to - find someone. Do you think the Democrats are capable of coming up with good candidates, or is their inability to do that the reason people like you have to step up? This would help me shape Texas' system because I'd make sure that we're not leaving any children behind - whether its in the adoption or the foster care sector - and that we're giving them every opportunity we can to succeed. I believe it was an experience that gave me the ability to have empathy and sympathy for people who are in that situation. I had incredible people who cared, loved and, when needed, would discipline. I didn't enter the foster care system until I was 15.

I was in an orphanage for most of my childhood.

What was your experience in the foster care system in Louisiana like, and how has that experience shaped your thoughts about what should be done with Texas' foster care system? As someone who came out of the foster care system myself, that’s a law I would work to change almost immediately. There’s already a small group of people within our state who want to adopt or are eligible to adopt, and to limit that sends a horrible message to those children who need adopting. We had a law come down this past regular legislative session that allows adoption agencies to actually turn people away. The last thing I’ll tackle is foster care.
