Catherine Alvarez is passionate fighting for reproductive rights in a post-Dobbs world. She believes that a woman's right to choose is fundamental and should be protected, and she is committed to ensuring that all people have access to comprehensive and affordable reproductive healthcare services. She is determined to work towards legislative solutions to safeguard reproductive rights, such as codifying Roe v. Wade into law or passing laws to protect access to abortion and contraception. Alvarez recognizes the impact Dobbs has had on the lives of many individuals and families, and she is dedicated to advocating for policies that grant all people the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies and reproductive health.
Catherine Alvarez is dedicated to prioritizing environmental protection, both on a federal level and particularly within Texas. She recognizes that environmental issues disproportionately affect marginalized communities, and she is committed to addressing racial inequities in environmental policies. Alvarez believes that environmental protection must be a top priority for the government, and she will work to enact policies that protect clean air, water, and land, with a special emphasis on the needs of underserved communities. She will work tirelessly to support legislation that combats climate change, reduces pollution, and promotes clean energy to ensure a healthier future for all Texans.
Catherine Alvarez believes that comprehensive background checks are essential to preventing gun violence while protecting Second Amendment rights. She supports legislation that would require background checks on all gun sales, including those at gun shows and online. She also believes that closing loopholes in the current background check system, such as the Charleston loophole, is essential to keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. Additionally, Alvarez supports funding for research into gun violence prevention and programs that promote safe gun storage and responsible gun ownership. She believes that these measures can be effective in reducing gun violence without infringing on the rights of law-abiding citizens.
