Скачать или смотреть TX-21 Meet the Candidates - Dr. Kristin Hook, Dr. Regina Vanburg, and Gary Taylor | Feb 7 2026

On Feb. 7, 2026, the Bexar County Democratic Party — led by Chair Michelle Lowe Solis and moderated by DA Joe Gonzales — brought TX-21 grassroots folks a no-BS “Meet the Candidates” forum with Dr. Kristin Hook, Dr. Regina Vanburg, and Gary Taylor ahead of the March primary.
🔥 What they’re talking about:
➡️ Everyday families stretched thin — sky-high housing, healthcare, groceries, insurance hikes over 20%, and financial shocks pushing folks toward eviction.
➡️ A real plan to keep homes in Texas affordable, cut red tape on evictions caused by life’s setbacks, and fight back against big insurers driving up premiums.
➡️ Climate disasters already costing Texans tens of billions in damage — candidates share ideas on federal responses, resilient communities, and protecting water and land.
➡️ Fixing a broken immigration system with reforms to ICE & border patrol that keep Texans safe and treat people with dignity.
➡️ Tackling wealth inequality, dark money, and the outsized influence of the wealthy in our politics.
➡️ Reining in an out-of-touch U.S. Supreme Court, restoring accountability and balance.
➡️ Understanding how AI and mega data centers affect jobs, our environment, and what it means for Texas families and small business owners.
