We already have donations coming in from all over the state as we build momentum, more and more people will get on the bandwagon. We already have a huge grassroots campaign out there. Right now, we’re building our campaign headquarters and the money that I have is something that we’ll fall back on when we need it. When are you going to give your campaign the $2.5 million, and how will you sustain your campaign beyond that? We should all have careers outside of politics and serve out of a duty and love for our state.

This would help me shape Texas' system because I'd make sure that we're not leaving any children behind - whether its in the adoption or the foster care sector - and that we're giving them every opportunity we can to succeed.

We had a law come down this past regular legislative session that allows adoption agencies to actually turn people away. The last thing I’ll tackle is foster care.
