Endorsements tell voters who a candidate stands with and who they will fight for. I am proud to be supported by working people, not political insiders. SEIU represents people who show up every day, do the work, and ask only for dignity and fairness. Texans deserve leadership that respects that.

Proud to have the endorsement of Indivisible Waco. This campaign is about dignity, democracy, and putting working people first. Organized people will always beat organized money.

When working people elect politicians who answer to corporate money, it’s not representation. It’s outsourcing your future to the people who profit from your loss. #workersoverbillionaires #Velezfortexas

I sat down with The Dive hosted by a Democrat and a Republican for an honest conversation about unions, healthcare, wages, AI, water rights, and why so many working Texans feel politically abandoned.

Why one blue-collar Texas Democrat thinks he can win over working-class voters www.statesman.com/news/columns...
This Texas Democrat is running straight at the working class
Marcos Vélez, a union organizer and first-time Democratic candidate, is running for lieutenant governor, arguing that the GOP is not the party of the working class.

Public school teachers shape the life of every American. It’s time we treated their profession with the respect it earns every day.

Proud to receive the
Houston Progressive Caucus endorsement! This campaign is for the working people all over Texas who have gone from paycheck to paycheck, to overdraft to overdraft. As your Lieutenant Governor, I'll prioritize people, not corporate interests.

Proud to receive the endorsement of the LGBTQ+ Caucus.
As a union leader, I’ve stood up for Texas workers who were targeted and fired simply for who they are.
Too many Texans still face bias on the job, and most don’t have union protections when it happens.
Solidarity is action, not words.

In my conversation on Left Reckoning, I explain why I oppose school vouchers in Texas. Vouchers pull public money out of public schools and reduce accountability to families and taxpayers.

I am running for Lieutenant Governor of Texas because working families know the system is broken. We feel it at the grocery store, in our utility bills, and in our wallets. Texas is not afraid of hard work. We just need leaders who know what work is. Let’s get to work. #TexasPolitics #LetsGetToWork
