I am so grateful to @POTUS for showing us what true servant leadership looks like. In a culture of individualism and narcissism, he draws from a deep well of solidarity and decency. What a legacy. What a man. Thank you President Biden.
I have decided that the best way to serve Tarrant County is to become your next County Clerk. As a longtime champion for transparency in county government, I have seen firsthand how badly we need fresh leadership, accountability, and accessibility in this office.

As a small business owner with a Ph.D., I have both the management experience and technical background to lead our County Clerk’s office efficiently and effectively.

After prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to run for Tarrant County Clerk in 2026, instead of seeking the office of County Judge. This is the right decision because this campaign has never been about my personal ambition.

It’s official! I just filed to run for Tarrant County Judge, the chief executive of one of the largest counties in Texas. I’m ready to show the door to extremist Tim O’Hare and his billionaire backers in 2026. Join me and donate at LydiaforTexas.com!
Tim O’Hare has:
❌ Drained $100 million from our schools
❌Thrown civic leaders out of public meetings
❌ Gerrymandered district lines (sound familiar?)
Tarrant County deserves better. THAT’S why I’m running for County Judge. Let's send O’Hare packing → secure.actblue.com/donate/ly…

I’m a comic and I’ve actually spoken at political rallies for years.
There is real work you have to do to prep. The message is the most important. What is the goal? Then you add jokes to further support the overall goal. When you’re at a rally, you’re there for the candidate.

I'm telling you... this is the sleeper issue of the race... The Harris plan to let Medicare cover home health care in lieu of having seniors deplete all of their savings to qualify for Medicaid is huge for folks in this situation.
Q: How do you propose to make both child and elder care more affordable?
Vice President Harris: You fall into what we call the Sandwich Generation. There are so many Americans who are taking care of their kids and they're taking care of their aging parents. It’s just almost impossible to do it all. So I am proposing that we allow Medicare to cover in-home health care

.@startelegram recommends mainstream Dem Patrick Moses over MAGA extremist Tarrant Sheriff @billwaybourn for the right reasons.
"Moses has the experience and focus to succeed where Waybourn has failed."

Today’s announcement from @KamalaHarris is a big, big deal. So many of us have found ourselves unable to afford care for older & disabled loved ones at home. We assume Medicare covers long-term care already, until we realize it does not. This proposal would change that. And what a relief it would be to those of us sandwiched between caring for older family members and young children. Wow.

Excited this is out! My piece is about grassroots power, a critical but understudied facet of the Medicaid policy landscape. I explore the role of grassroots actors in the health policy ecosystem, drawing our attention to the promise & pathways for building power for health.
