This is Jessica Mason. Above all else, I’m a daughter of Dallas. South Dallas raised me, and Washington will never change me.
My community was set up to fail by design. From growing up housing insecure in a poor Black neighborhood, to enlisting in the Navy as the only way to complete my college degree, to working in public housing administration — I have experienced the socioeconomic barriers and challenges that far too many Americans face all because our leadership has failed them.
I’m running to be the voice of Texas’ 30th Congressional District because I’m tired of seeing the people and the community I love hurting and left behind. And I know that if we are going to see meaningful change, we must be brave enough to demand better than the status quo.
As the only true progressive in this race, I know that saying “accessible healthcare” isn’t enough without demanding Medicare for All. I know that saying “climate action” isn’t enough without demanding a Green New Deal. I know that we need REAL bold solutions, nothing less — and I’m not afraid to fight for them.
For far too long, politicians and corporations have been putting profit and wealth over the lives of us and the people in our communities. We must break the pattern of electing status quo elites who were raised in complete comfort and are out-of-touch with real Americans — because they will never truly be fighting for us.
We deserve leaders who won’t cave to corporate special interests for personal or political gain. Leaders who understand the difficult decisions working families have to make just to get by. And leaders who will do everything they can to fight for justice and equity.
Early voting in Texas has already started, and the primary election is less than two weeks away. If we’re going to stop the toxic cycle of corruption at the top, it’s critical that we elect representatives who reflect our people-first values and who deeply understand the struggles and needs of everyday Americans.
It’s time for a Brand New Congress. It’s time for a New Deal.
