Lifelong Texan Sameena Karmally, candidate for
State House District 89, grew up in the DFW area and
is a proud graduate of Texas public schools, the University
of Dallas, and the University of Texas School of
Law.
Dallas Morning News endorses Sameena Karmally for Representative, Texas House District 89, over incumbent, Jodie Laubenberg.
"Not only has [Laubenberg] drawn an opponent, but a top-notch one.
Democrat Sameena Karmally, a 38-year-old Allen attorney, gets this
newspaper’s recommendation because her vision for Texas is more
constructive and forward-looking than what Laubenberg has offered."
Sameena will work to bring the benefits of Texasʼ
pro-business environment back to working people by
tying corporate tax breaks to specific job creation goals
and holding corporations accountable if they do not deliver
on keeping promised jobs in the area.
Sameena says, "Our future depends on providing our children with the skills needed to compete on a global stage." Texans want their tax dollars spent wisely, and educating
our young adults is the best investment we can
make in our stateʼs future. Everyone who knows a child
in public school knows that classrooms have become
overcrowded, our teachers donʼt have the resources
and support they need, and standardized tests take
more and more time. Texans have a right to a good education,
and an educated citizenry benefits us all.
Sameena also believes we must invest in reliable,
affordable and renewable energy sources and show
strong leadership on the environment.
Sameena will
work to ensure that our children enjoy the same clear
skies and fresh water that we do. She will bring attention
to the Seaway Pipeline that is transporting tar
sands crude oil and could contaminate Lake Lavon.
She will work to protect our families with increased
safety regulations before we experience a West-like catastrophe
to our local source of drinking water.
Sameena got an up-close look at the difficulties in
senior retirement, housing, and health care after guiding
her father through dozens of medical tests and doctor
ʼs visits after he had a series of strokes in 2012. After
his passing, Sameenaʼs mother moved in with her and was able to access health care for the first time at the age
of 62 under the Affordable Care Act (the ACA). Sameena
opposes any cuts to Social Security or Medicare and supports
expansion of Medicaid under the ACA.
