00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160
Hi guys, so my name is uh Dale Brain, and

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,960
we're the next Texas State Senator for
District 30.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,440
It's a massive wide area, but around here is
basically

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,080
all of Russia.

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,760
It doesn't matter if you're in Denver County
or Town

6
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,320
County.

7
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,880
Um I've just uh won my not just my primary,

8
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,800
but my run off election as well, so I'll come

9
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,040
officially giving a ballot in November.

10
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,240
Um work and healthcare system.

11
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,600
I know that we have people who are poor but

12
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,760
not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid.

13
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,360
I believe that we should definitely be part of
the

14
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,720
Medicaid expansion program.

15
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,560
We're losing literally $10 billion a year over
this Texas

16
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,320
uh for not being part of this program.

17
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,320
And I think supporting our public school
teachers.

18
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,800
Right now, our schools are desperately funded.

19
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,720
A decade ago, we used to give more direct
funding

20
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,440
to our ISDs.

21
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,520
We refactored that in the past decade to make
it

22
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,920
more dependent upon your property taxes, which
is a lock-sider

23
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,520
play of funding our ISDs.

24
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,840
A good friend of mine told me how much how

25
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720
much money she made before she retired as a
public

26
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,800
school teacher, and I said, My God, Vicky,
that's the

27
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,320
same amount of money I made in my first job

28
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,120
at college.

29
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,120
We need to support our public schools, and
that's what

30
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,000
I stand for.

31
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Uh again, if you want to learn more about me,

32
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,040
