Issues

Texas families feel the squeeze every time they check out at the grocery store, open an insurance bill, or pick up a prescription. Mark Dorazio has already taken on the insurance companies on their behalf — banning the use of artificial intelligence to deny medical claims, stopping premium hikes on new widows and widowers, and ending forced policy bundling — and he drove down healthcare costs by ending the pharmacy “gag” clauses that hid cheaper prices and forcing hospitals to disclose treatment costs up front. His fight isn’t finished: Mark Dorazio will keep working to lower the everyday cost of living and rein in the insurance and healthcare costs squeezing hardworking Texans.

Mark Dorazio has doubled the homestead exemption for seniors and raised it by $100,000 for every homeowner over the last four years. But relief doesn’t last when local governments keep maximizing what they collect. Mark Dorazio is committed to hard spending limits, real voter control over any tax increase, and the ultimate goal: abolishing the property tax altogether, so Texans finally own their homes instead of renting them from the government.

Public safety is the first duty of government, and Mark Dorazio has delivered on it. He ended parole for those who traffic children, ended bail for repeat violent offenders, and banned the use of NDAs to silence victims of sexual abuse — and he secured $3 million in state funds to put a helicopter behind the Bexar County anti-gang task force. Mark Dorazio will keep standing with the men and women of law enforcement and strengthening the laws that keep dangerous criminals off our streets and our families safe.

A fast-growing Texas must invest in the essentials. Mark Dorazio helped deliver billions of dollars for teacher pay and more than $400 million in school-safety grants to protect our kids. Looking ahead, he is focused on the infrastructure our communities are built on: strong neighborhood public schools, a secure long-term water supply for a booming region, and the roads Bexar County needs to keep families and commerce moving.
