Martha Wong will fight
for families!
Property Tax Relief
Homeowners are suffering from skyrocketing property taxes in District 134. Martha supports providing homeowners with property tax relief …now! Martha has carried five percent appraisal cap bills in the 78th and 79th sessions and supported bills capping spending. Martha will continue to support providing homeowners with property tax relief.
Reform Texas' Schools
A career educator, principal and professor, Martha Wong believes in the Texas public school system and will fight to ensure Texas public school children receive the best education possible. Texas Public Schools have improved; but we must improve our academic standing in the world-wide competition and eliminate the high drop out rate. Martha will work for more dollars in our classrooms and provide higher salaries for our classroom teachers.
Provide Easy Access to Health Care
While many of our citizens do not have health insurance, the state must take advantage of Medicare, Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance programs for those who truly qualify for the programs. We must be diligent in preventing fraud, yet make access available. Martha supports providing more "federally funded health care clinics" for neighborhoods and to educate the public about use of "emergency rooms" for "non-life threatening" treatments. Martha also supports innovative programs that hospitals are developing for low income families to make insurance affordable.
