Melissa McDonough, Democratic Texas Congressional District 38 Candidate, was not shy about what she intends to bring to her new district: the people’s voice.
Melissa McDonough on why she must win.
- Melissa McDonough is running for Congress in Texas’ 38th Congressional District against Republican incumbent Wesley Hunt, focusing on unifying solutions over partisan problems.
- McDonough emphasizes the need for more Progressive Democrats in Congress to accomplish the people’s work, citing Hunt’s poor attendance record for roll call as a sign of inadequate representation.
- Her campaign is unique in that it seeks input from constituents on priorities, with a current emphasis on comprehensive healthcare reform, challenging the status quo regardless of the district’s Republican-leaning (R+12) demographics.
- McDonough points out the dire healthcare situation in Texas, with 50% of counties lacking an OBGYN or nurse practitioner, and vows to address these critical issues.
- She advocates for a campaign strategy that reaches out to all voters, regardless of party affiliation, believing in engagement and respect to earn trust and move Congress forward for the people.
