COVID Reforms + Texas State Senate Elections

The Senate District: SD 6, running including Brenham, TX & Katy, TX

The incumbent Republican, Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, on pandemic lockdowns:

“Another of the key issues will be to reform how public health intersects with our constitutional rights and liberties,” she said. “All businesses are essential to someone and there must be more checks and balances about how the draconian public health policies we have seen this year can be used as pretext to take away our liberties and freedoms.”

• need standards before business are shut down
• this is about constitutional liberties and freedoms
• we’re broaching on eminent domain concepts, like compensation, when we shut down businesses or limit people’s freedom
