Christina Morales

What training, experience, and characteristics qualify you for this position?

I have been elected since 2019 and proudly server all the constituents of House District 145. Prior to being elected I served the community as a small business owner and philanthropist.

Article 7 of the Texas Constitution states that “it shall be the duty of the Legislature of the State to establish and make suitable provision for the support and maintenance of an efficient system of public free schools.” What is your interpretation of what this clause requires of the legislature?

We should and must fund our public schools.

How will you ensure that Texas remains a leader in the energy sector through innovation and reliability?

We have a green energy explosion in Texas and can and should be a leader in clean energy options. At the same time fossil fuels are not disappearing overnight, Texas is positioned to be the leader of energy production today and in the future. We cannot have short sited profit-minded legislation that hurts our long-term position as an energy leader of new technologies.

What do you believe is the appropriate role of the State of Texas in ensuring that Texans have access to reproductive healthcare, family planning, and pregnancy care and postpartum services?

Give women the right to reproductive healthcare which abortion is a part of. Accept Medicaid expansion now to support expectant mothers.

What other issues are high priorities for the people of your district? Please give specific examples of measurable actions that you will take to address these issues.

Education, health care, economic opportunities and housing. My district is home to some of the oldest most storied neighborhoods in Houston. People want to make a living and live where they have roots, but that is increasingly more difficult.
