Gretel Enck for U.S. Representative District 23

Gretel’s commitment to public service began long before her 25 years with the National Park Service. She grew up in rural New York in a family that valued hard work, honesty, and community. Her parents were first-generation college graduates who had been raised on modest farms, and they carried those lessons of self-reliance, neighborliness, and respect for the land into their own household. Gretel spent her childhood surrounded by forests, horses, wood-cutting weekends, and the rhythm of rural life. She learned responsibility by helping with chores, caring for animals, and watching her family make the land productive. Those experiences built her love for the outdoors, her belief in people, and her understanding of how deeply communities rely on their environment. In early 2025, after 25 years of government service, Gretel accepted an early retirement through DOGE.

Greg Cesar Incumbent for U.S. Representative District 37

Austin City Council Member Greg is an Austin City Council Member and movement organizer who has supported working families from San Antonio to Hays County to East Austin. The proud son of Mexican immigrants, Greg has passed policies to protect families from being separated, raised wages for thousands of workers, and has successfully fought to expand civil rights protections. As a Council Member, Greg authored the paid-sick-days laws that passed in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas, implementing what the Austin-American Statesman called the “most progressive labor policy for the entire state and possibly the American South.” He also raised wages for the City’s lowest-paid employees from $7.25/hour to $15/hour with health care benefits.When the State Legislature threatened to close the Planned Parenthood in East Austin, Greg worked with the city-supported clinic to keep it open. He also cleared the decades-long backlog of sexual assault evidence kits and expanded shelter for survivors of family violence. Greg continues to fight and deliver for affordable housing. He led the largest affordable housing elections in Texas history, and personally organized with tenants to block evictions and help mobile home communities purchase their own property. He has made sure that families who are being pushed out by rising prices can stay in their neighborhoods.Greg kept immigrant families from being separated by leading the statewide campaign against Texas Senate Bill 4—the infamous “Show Me Your Papers” law. He authored “Freedom City” policies that have reduced discriminatory arrests across Texas, and he worked to get those policies passed in San Antonio, Austin, and Hays County. Casar successfully ended all arrests and fines for low-level marijuana possession in Austin. Casar has fought for fairness by closing inexcusable tax loopholes for the wealthiest, and he has made sure that everyday Texans have a voice in government.

Gary Taylor for U.S. Representative District 21

Profession

I am a retired high school and community college math teacher, and a semi-retired musician.

I am running for Texas Congressional District 21. One of the main reasons I have chosen to run is to help in building a better future for my children and grandchildren—indeed, a better future for all of us, throughout this nation. But not only a better future, I think we need a better now, too.I believe Progressivism is both compassionate and practical. It is the necessary constant march of humanity. I want to say that again with a slightly different emphasis. Progressivism is not only compassionate, but it is also highly practical, and we need to help people learn this. It is a commonsense approach to a better economy, a better nation, and a better world. I enter this race to do what I can to help unite us as a people; to unite us as a community of diverse people. To unite us on the things that make a better life for all.

Kristen Hook for U.S. Representative District 21

Education PhD in Animal Behavior from Cornell University and moved to DC to deepen my expertise in reproductive biology as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Maryland.

Profession: As a science and tech expert, I worked on a wide variety of federal policy issues while serving in the U.S. Senate (Office of Elizabeth Warren), National Institutes of Health, and the Government Accountability Office. While at the GAO, I helped make sure our taxpayer dollars are used wisely and effectively and educated Congress on emerging science and tech issues.

I'm not a politician. I'm a scientist with a PhD in animal behavior and a former middle school teacher, so I'm well prepared to handle Congress! As a former federal scientist, I believe government should be a powerful force for good – not a weapon of oppression. I am running to fight for working families like my own, to lower costs, and to hold the corrupt Trump administration accountable.
