I’m Rodney LaBruce, running for Texas's 30th Congressional District. My commitment is to address the real challenges families face with integrity and transparency. I’m focused on bridging the gap between the wealthy and the rest of us, bringing meaningful change, and ensuring every voice is heard.
1) What are you going to do for me?
I’m going to end poverty. Many think poverty doesn't impact them, but it affects us all. By addressing the factors that lead people into financial hardship, we can lower crime, improve public health, and create a stronger society for everyone. As Matthew Desmond said, adapting Martin Luther King Jr.’s words: “Poverty anywhere is a threat to prosperity everywhere.”
There is a tendency to believe that one's class is a reflection of one's character, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Too often, we focus on the upper and middle classes and overlook the struggles of those in low-income situations. False stereotypes—like "welfare queens" or "lazy thugs"—have kept us from addressing the real issues. But statistics prove these depictions are wrong. By focusing on eliminating poverty, we will create a society where everyone can thrive. That's what I’m fighting for—for you and for all of us.
