CD-18 deserves a strong voice in Congress. Our families, jobs, and future are too important to go unheard. We must stand up for the 800,000 people without that voice.

Did you see the New York Times article? 18th Congressional District voters deserve clarity - not chaos. Gerrymandering AND delayed special elections are leaving people unsure if they have a voice. I’m running to make sure every Houstonian is represented and every vote counts. Read more on The New

Thanks to your incredible support, we surpassed our End of Quarter fundraising goal! I wanted to pause the campaign trail to share a quick message to say thank you and share what’s next for our campaign:

Thrilled to announce we’ve been endorsed by Noel Freeman! Thank you for being on #TeamEdwards!

Instead of focusing on relief, Governor Abbott is calling a special session to redraw congressional maps (off cycle) and help Republicans cling to their narrow majority in Congress. Getting rid of majority minority districts in a time like this is outrageous.

Wishing you & your family a safe and joyful #FourthofJuly!

We are thrilled to have the support of Keith Downey! Welcome to Team Edwards!

This Republican Budget is the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Millions of Americans will lose their healthcare to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. The House must vote down the final version of this bill.

I had a great time joining the Common Good podcast to talk about what’s at stake for this election, and my experience stepping up for Houstonians during the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Take a listen here:

Houstonians know the devastation of hurricane season firsthand. President Trump wants to reduce federal support & control disaster relief from the White House so he can play politics while we need to rebuild. We must stand up for our communities.

🚨​​ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 I am so excited to announce another leader in our community has joined Team Edwards! Thank you City Council Member Lynn Clouser!

June 1 marked the start of Hurricane Season, and our community knows all too well the damage hurricanes bring. Yet troubling reports reveal Trump is threatening to cut or even eliminate FEMA, putting thousands of families at risk. Having served as an At-Large Council Member through numerous floods

This #MemorialDay is a reminder of those service members we have tragically lost. We are grateful to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country.

It was great to join the POTUS show with Tim Farley! Our district is being left out of important discussions and meetings because Governor Abbott played politics with our community. Listen to what I had to say here:

“I’m not new to this community, & so that’s what makes it personal to me because I know that people are counting on us not just to hold political offices & not just to get titles, but to actually do the work that is needed in this community.”

House Republicans passed this budget by one vote in the middle of the night. The 18th Congressional District seat remains vacant because the special election was called November instead of May - resulting in the 18th not having a vote or voice to vote against this bill and its deep cuts to our socia
