Gretel believes every community deserves an economy that works for working people, not just for the wealthy or well-connected. She has seen how years of underinvestment, rising costs, and political gridlock have made it harder for families to get ahead. Too many people are working multiple jobs, struggling with housing costs, and facing barriers to stable, good-paying work.

​

Gretel supports an economy built on fairness, opportunity, and long-term growth. Her priorities include raising wages, expanding workforce training and apprenticeships, and creating jobs through investments in infrastructure, clean energy, and resilient communities. She believes families should be able to build financial security through stable employment, affordable housing, and access to childcare.

Gretel also supports policies that hold corporations accountable, protect consumers, and prevent price gouging that hurts everyday people. She believes in strengthening the middle class, restoring economic mobility, and ensuring that every person has a fair chance to build a better future.

Gretel is committed to a strong and fair economy where every Texan can work, build, and thrive.
