Fighting for Texas.
Delivering for El Paso.

Texas State Representative Vince Perez represents El Paso — and serves on Ways & Means, where the state's tax decisions get made. In 2025 he broke quorum over the redistricting maps, met with Governor Newsom, and returned to the floor to deliver the most-circulated rebuttal of HB 4. He also moved a UTEP Student Union into law and sent a public law school for El Paso through the Texas House.

The fight, in his own words.

All press releases
What we're fighting for

El Paso's seat at the table — and on the front line.

The work behind the headlines: an agenda that delivers for working families in West Texas while standing up for democracy in Austin.

01

Fair maps and the right to vote

Carry the HB 4 fight forward. Challenge maps that erase Hispanic and Black voting power. Defend the Voting Rights Act framework in Texas.

02

A public law school in El Paso

Finish the work started in HB 3475. Build the binational legal pipeline a region of two million people deserves.

03

Healthcare access on the border

Expand foreign-trained doctor licensure. Protect indigent care. Defend funding for the primary care clinics built at the county.

04

Property tax reform for working families

Use the Ways & Means seat to push reforms that reach Hispanic working-class homeowners — not just lobby-favored carve-outs.

05

A real workforce for Texas schools

Expand dual credit. Strengthen the teacher pipeline. Give voters tools — like recall — when local boards stop showing up.

06

Government that earns trust

Continue the county-era record on transparency, pretrial fairness, and modern operations — now at the state level.

Read the full agenda

Stand with Vince.

El Paso deserves a fighter who also delivers. Add your name. Make a contribution. Forward this to a friend.
