Hi John,

 

The Freethought Equality Fund, the political action committee of the Center for Freethought Equality, has 11 outstanding endorsed candidates in Texas on the general election ballot.

 

Below are four strong allies of the atheist and humanist community who are seeking to unseat Republican includents in the Texas State House. Please support these candidates -- their campaign websites and donation links are below as are their bios. You can see all our 2020 endorsed candidates here. 

 

 

Brandy Chambers is running for the Texas State House in District 112. A respected Dallas attorney, she came within two percentage points of defeating the five-term Republican incumbent in 2018 – this year she says “we’ll finish the job.” Chambers’ policy agenda includes attracting more and higher paying jobs, expanding Medicaid, protecting reproductive rights, fully funding public education, enacting common sense gun control, reforming the criminal justice system, ending human trafficking, and addressing climate change. Chambers is a Christian and an ally of the atheist and humanist community.

 

Addison Perry-Franks is running for the Texas State House in District 83. In the March 3 primary, Perry-Franks earned 54% of the vote – finishing 1st in a field of two candidates. She runs a thriving IT solutions business and is very active in her community. She and her wife have five children and Addison came out as transgendered in May 2018. Her policy goals include expanding Medicaid and making healthcare affordable for all, fully funding public schools and increasing teacher pay, fighting corruption in our public institutions, enacting common sense gun control, adding gender identity to anti-discrimination laws, repealing “right-to-work” laws and raising the minimum wage, legalizing recreational marijuana, and combating climate change. Perry-Franks is Wiccan and a strong ally of the atheist and humanist community.

 

Jason Rogers is running for the Texas State House in District 57. He is an Army veteran, former teacher, and currently works as a diesel mechanic. Frustrated at being told to talk to his state representative and getting no response, Rogers decided, “Heck, I should just be the state representative.” His top policy priorities are empowering Texas teachers, fully funding public schools, and adequately funding mental health and rehabilitation services. Rogers will also work for expanding access to medical marijuana, enacting common sense gun control, protecting reproductive rights, and addressing climate change. Rogers is a person of faith and an ally of the atheist and humanist community.

 

Jessica Tiedt is running for the Texas State House in District 20. Tiedt is a technical engineer and works as a Chief Court Administrator, where she provides the court with efficient technical and caring solutions. Her policy goals include strengthening our infrastructure to ensure everyone has access to clean water, providing affordable broadband internet to all communities, ending gerrymandering, addressing climate change, legalizing recreational and medicinal cannabis use, and increasing access to quality and affordable healthcare with Medicare for All. Tiedt is Omnistic and believes a secular government is required to effectively serve all its citizens.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Ron Millar

PAC Coordinator
