Dione Sims’ Plan for Affordable, Accessible Childcare for Texas Families ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Every Texas parent should have the freedom to work, build a career, start a business, or pursue an education without childcare costs consuming the family budget.
For millions of working families, childcare is not optional—it is part of the basic cost of going to work. Yet Texas families are being asked to absorb childcare expenses that can rival housing, transportation, and even college tuition.
Dione Sims believes we can strengthen Texas families and the Texas economy at the same time by making quality childcare more affordable, more accessible, and more responsive to the realities of working parents.
THE CHILDCARE AFFORDABILITY CHALLENGE IN TEXAS ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
The numbers demonstrate why action is necessary.
According to Child Care Aware of America, center-based childcare in Texas averages approximately $11,349 per year for an infant and $10,921 for a toddler. A family with an infant and a four-year-old can face approximately $21,574 per year in center-based childcare expenses. For a single-parent household earning the Texas median for single-parent families, center-based infant care can consume approximately 30% of household income.
Cost is only part of the problem. Availability is becoming a serious economic challenge.
A 2026 CHILDREN AT RISK analysis found that approximately 441,000 low-income Texas children under age six with working parents—76% of that population—live in subsidized childcare deserts, where demand is at least three times greater than the available supply. Four out of five also live in areas without adequate access to higher-quality Texas Rising Star childcare.
This is particularly damaging to working-class and rural families. When parents cannot find childcare, they may have to reduce their working hours, turn down promotions, change jobs, leave the workforce, or rely on arrangements that may not provide the stability their families need.
Affordable childcare is therefore not only family policy. It is workforce policy, economic-development policy, and an affordability issue.
1. Make Childcare More Affordable for Working Families ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Dione Sims will support expanding childcare assistance for working- and middle-class families so that childcare expenses do not consume an unreasonable percentage of household income.
Assistance should be structured on a sliding scale: families with the greatest financial need receive the greatest support, while working families above traditional assistance thresholds can receive more limited help.
The objective is simple:
Work should always pay—and accepting a better job or earning a raise should not suddenly cause a family to lose all childcare assistance.
2. Expand the Supply of Childcare ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Texas cannot solve the childcare crisis by helping families pay for childcare that does not exist.
Sims will support federal-state partnerships that help qualified childcare providers expand capacity, particularly in rural communities and childcare deserts.
That can include competitive grants and financing for licensed providers to expand classrooms, renovate facilities, meet safety requirements, and open childcare operations in communities with demonstrated shortages.
The campaign will also support responsible expansion of licensed home-based childcare providers, which can be particularly important in rural Texas.
3. Expand Employer-Supported Childcare ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Government does not have to solve this problem alone.
Sims will encourage Texas employers to become part of the solution by expanding incentives for businesses that provide:
On-site childcare;
Childcare stipends or reimbursements;
Partnerships with nearby childcare centers;
Reserved childcare slots for employees; and
Shared childcare facilities among multiple small businesses.
Federal law already provides an employer-provided childcare tax credit, and beginning in tax year 2026 the maximum credit increased to $500,000 annually—or $600,000 for eligible small businesses—with enhanced reimbursement percentages for qualifying expenditures. Sims would work to increase awareness and utilization of these incentives among Texas employers.
4. Support Parents Who Work Nights and Weekends ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
The modern Texas economy does not operate from 9:00 to 5:00.
Nurses, police officers, firefighters, manufacturing employees, hospitality workers, retail employees, transportation workers, first responders and many other Texans work evenings, overnight shifts and weekends.
Sims will support incentives for qualified childcare providers that expand evening, weekend, early-morning and nontraditional-hour childcare, particularly in communities with large populations of shift workers.
5. Strengthen Early Head Start, Head Start and Pre-K Partnerships ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Texas should better coordinate existing federal, state, local and school-based resources.
Sims will advocate for protecting and strengthening Early Head Start and Head Start, while encouraging partnerships among childcare centers, school districts, community organizations and employers.
The goal is to eliminate unnecessary duplication and make every existing childcare dollar work harder for Texas families.
6. Protect Quality While Expanding Access ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Affordable childcare must also be safe childcare.
Sims supports maintaining appropriate licensing, health, safety and background-check requirements while expanding access to high-quality providers, including Texas Rising Star programs.
Parents deserve both affordability and peace of mind.
HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT?
Dione Sims believes Texans deserve more than promises. Every major proposal should come with a responsible funding strategy.
The Sims plan would use a public-private financing model rather than placing the entire cost on Texas taxpayers.
First, protect and maximize existing federal childcare funding.
Texas already receives federal childcare resources. Sims will fight to ensure Texas receives its fair share and that federal dollars reach working families and communities with the greatest shortages.
Second, strengthen childcare tax relief for working families.
Sims will support federal tax policies that allow working families to keep more of their own money when paying legitimate childcare expenses.
Third, leverage employers and the private sector.
Federal incentives can encourage employers to invest directly in childcare rather than requiring government to finance every childcare slot.
Fourth, prioritize existing programs that produce measurable results.
Federal childcare investments should be transparent and accountable. Programs should be evaluated based on affordability, availability, quality, workforce participation and measurable outcomes.
Fifth, use targeted investment rather than universal subsidies for wealthy households.
Public resources should be concentrated on working-, middle-class and economically vulnerable families for whom childcare costs create a genuine barrier to employment.
This approach allows government, employers, childcare providers and families to share responsibility rather than creating an unlimited new government entitlement.
CHILDCARE IS ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Texas invests in roads because Texans need roads to get to work.
We invest in electricity because businesses cannot operate without power.
And we must recognize another reality of the modern economy:
Working parents cannot work when they have nowhere safe to leave their children.
Affordable childcare helps parents remain employed. It helps businesses recruit and retain workers. It gives parents greater freedom to pursue promotions, education and entrepreneurship. And it gives children access to safe environments where they can learn and develop.
DIONE SIMS’ COMMITMENT ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/childcare at this heading)
Freedom means more than telling Texans they are free. It means creating the conditions that allow people to use that freedom.
A mother should have the freedom to pursue a career.
A father should have the freedom to accept a better job.
A single parent should have the freedom to work without surrendering a third of their income for childcare.
A small-business owner should have the freedom to grow a company while raising a family.
And a child should have the opportunity to begin life in a safe, nurturing environment.
Dione Sims will fight for a Texas where raising a family and earning a living are not competing ambitions—and where affordable childcare gives working Texans greater freedom to pursue the American Dream.

I am running for Congress because public office must once again mean public service—not personal profit.
The American people deserve a government that works for them, not a system where elected officials, political appointees, or other powerful individuals can abuse their positions to enrich themselves, manipulate markets, reward family and friends, or provide special access to well-connected insiders.
In Congress, I will fight for aggressive oversight and meaningful accountability whenever credible evidence suggests corruption, fraud, conflicts of interest, insider dealing, market manipulation, self-enrichment, or abuse of governmental power.
I will support lawful congressional investigations that follow the facts and the evidence—regardless of political party, wealth, title, or personal connections. Where wrongdoing is uncovered, I will support appropriate referrals to independent law-enforcement, regulatory, and ethics authorities so allegations can be investigated through the proper legal process and individuals can be held accountable when the evidence establishes violations of the law.
I will also fight for stronger transparency and ethics requirements, including meaningful financial disclosures and safeguards designed to prevent public officials from using confidential government information or the power of their offices for private financial advantage.
Accountability cannot be partisan. If a Democrat abuses public office, investigate it. If a Republican abuses public office, investigate it. If a powerful donor, corporate executive, political insider, family member, or friend improperly benefits from government power, follow the evidence wherever it leads.
Washington should never operate under one set of rules for ordinary Americans and another for the wealthy and politically connected.
Nobody is above the law. Nobody should be able to purchase access to our government. And nobody entrusted with public power should be permitted to turn that power into a private business opportunity.
As your representative, I will work to restore something fundamental to American democracy: the principle that elected officials work for the people—and that public power must always be exercised in the public interest.

Innovation That Serves Texans — Not the Other Way Around ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Dione Sims believes America should lead the world in artificial intelligence and emerging technology. But technological leadership must be measured by more than how quickly we build, automate, or deploy. Progress should improve people's lives, strengthen communities, expand economic opportunity, and protect the resources Texans depend on.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform healthcare, education, agriculture, manufacturing, government, transportation, energy, and small business. It can increase productivity, create new industries, and strengthen America's global competitiveness.
But innovation without responsible oversight can also create serious consequences—from workforce displacement and misuse of personal data to increased demands on electricity, water, land, and infrastructure associated with large-scale data-center development.
Dione supports a balanced approach: encourage innovation, protect American competitiveness, and establish responsible guardrails so technological progress does not come at the expense of workers, families, taxpayers, communities, or future generations.
Texans Should Decide What Gets Built in Texas Communities ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Dione believes one principle should be clear: Texans—not billionaire technology executives, distant corporations, or private political interests—should ultimately have a meaningful voice in determining whether major data-center developments are appropriate for their communities.
Data centers can bring substantial economic benefits. They can attract billions of dollars in private investment, expand local tax bases, create construction and technology jobs, strengthen digital and electrical infrastructure, and position Texas as a global leader in the rapidly expanding AI economy.
Dione believes there should be another important benefit: meaningful investment in the communities that host these facilities.
When major technology companies choose Texas communities for large-scale data centers—particularly when they receive public incentives or infrastructure support—Dione believes they should be prepared to become genuine community partners.
That means making significant, measurable investments that directly benefit local residents. Depending on the needs of the community, those investments could include:
College and technical scholarships for local students, particularly those pursuing technology, engineering, cybersecurity, skilled trades, energy, and other high-demand careers;
Technology and equipment for public schools, including computers, laboratory equipment, robotics programs, broadband infrastructure, cybersecurity resources, and modern classroom technology;
AI and technology education for students, teachers, workers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses;
Internships, apprenticeships, and workforce-development programs that create pathways for local residents to participate in the technology economy;
Support for local nonprofit and civic organizations addressing education, youth development, food insecurity, veterans, seniors, parks, recreation, and other community priorities;
Investments in community infrastructure and public amenities that improve the quality of life for residents; and
Partnerships with community colleges and workforce organizations to develop the skilled workforce necessary for the next generation of technology jobs.
Dione's position is straightforward: If a corporation benefits from a Texas community, that community should meaningfully benefit from the corporation's presence.
These investments should not replace taxes or allow corporations to purchase political influence. They should represent an additional commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and measurable community partnership.
Balancing the Benefits and Costs of Data Centers ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Dione recognizes that data centers present both opportunities and legitimate concerns.
They can generate major capital investment, construction activity, infrastructure improvements, tax revenue, technology-sector growth, workforce-development partnerships, educational investments, scholarships, charitable contributions, and new economic opportunities.
At the same time, large facilities can create substantial electricity demands and, depending upon their technology and cooling systems, significant water requirements. Communities may also face questions involving transmission infrastructure, backup generators, noise, land use, construction traffic, environmental impacts, utility costs, emergency preparedness, and compatibility with nearby residential development.
Property owners also deserve credible information about whether proposed industrial development and related infrastructure could affect surrounding communities and property values.
The question should not simply be whether Texas can build more data centers. The question is whether they are being built responsibly, transparently, and in genuine partnership with the communities hosting them.
No Progress Without Transparency ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Dione Sims will oppose backroom arrangements that commit taxpayer resources or significantly affect communities without appropriate transparency and public accountability.
When corporations seek tax incentives, infrastructure commitments, special regulatory treatment, or other public benefits, taxpayers deserve to know what they are receiving in return.
Dione supports appropriate public disclosure surrounding major technology and data-center developments, including electricity and water requirements, infrastructure needs, public subsidies and incentives, anticipated employment and economic benefits, environmental and community impacts, and commitments made to the communities hosting these projects.
For projects receiving substantial public benefits, Dione will advocate for transparent Community Benefit Agreements or comparable enforceable commitments when appropriate. Instead of vague promises, communities should be able to see what companies have committed to provide—from scholarships and workforce programs to educational investments and infrastructure improvements—and whether those commitments have been fulfilled.
Public resources require public accountability.
Preparing Texas Small Businesses for the AI Revolution ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Responsible innovation is not only about regulating technology. It is about making certain Texans have an opportunity to benefit from it.
Artificial intelligence could become one of the most consequential productivity technologies available to small businesses. Yet large corporations have significantly greater resources to acquire technology, employ specialists, train workers, and redesign their operations.
Dione does not want Texas small businesses left behind.
She will support practical AI education and workforce training for entrepreneurs, small businesses, workers, and community organizations through partnerships with community colleges, universities, workforce-development organizations, chambers of commerce, libraries, and qualified training providers.
AI training can help small businesses automate routine administrative work, improve customer service, strengthen marketing, analyze business information, manage inventory and scheduling, prepare proposals, enhance cybersecurity awareness, identify new customers, and allow employees to devote more time to higher-value activities.
Training must also address responsible AI use, including privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, verification of AI-generated information, and understanding when human judgment must remain in control.
The AI economy should not belong exclusively to America's largest corporations. Texas entrepreneurs and small businesses deserve the knowledge and tools necessary to compete.
Protecting Workers While Building the Workforce of the Future ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
AI will change some jobs, create others, and transform many existing occupations. Dione believes government should neither attempt to stop technological progress nor tell displaced workers that they are simply on their own.
She supports investments in AI literacy, technical education, apprenticeships, reskilling, community-college partnerships, and employer-supported workforce development so Texans can compete for the opportunities technological advancement creates.
Her objective is clear: technology should expand human potential—not make working people economically disposable.
Independent Leadership: No Big Tech Corporate PAC Money ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Congress will make consequential decisions involving artificial intelligence, data privacy, technology competition, infrastructure, energy, and data centers. Texans deserve representatives whose judgment is independent of the corporations affected by those decisions.
Dione Sims pledges not to accept campaign contributions from Big Tech corporate PACs.
Her decisions will be guided by what protects Texans, strengthens American competitiveness, encourages responsible innovation, and serves the public interest—not by the campaign priorities of corporations Congress may be called upon to regulate.
The Sims Standard for Responsible Innovation ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/data-centers at this heading)
Dione's position is not anti-technology or anti-business. It is pro-innovation, pro-worker, pro-small business, pro-community, and pro-accountability.
Texas can lead the next technological revolution while establishing a higher standard for how innovation strengthens the communities that make that growth possible.
Innovate boldly. Train our people. Protect our resources. Invest in our communities. Empower Texans. Demand transparency.
Dione Sims believes technological progress should not simply make corporations more valuable.
It should make Texas communities stronger.

Healthcare Should Protect Your Health — Not Threaten Your Financial Future
Texas is an economic powerhouse, but when it comes to healthcare access, too many Texas families are being left behind.
In 2024, Texas had the highest uninsured rate in the nation at 16.7%, compared with 8.2% nationally. Among working-age Texans ages 19–64, the uninsured rate was even higher at 21.6% — also the highest in the country. More than 5 million Texans were uninsured.
For Dione Sims, those numbers represent working parents, small-business owners, children, caregivers, veterans, rural families and neighbors who should not have to choose between paying a medical bill and paying their mortgage, rent, groceries or utilities.
Dione Sims believes access to affordable healthcare is fundamental to the freedom to pursue the American Dream.
The Dione Sims Healthcare Affordability Plan ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
As a member of Congress, Dione Sims will work across federal, state and local government to pursue practical reforms that expand coverage while lowering the actual cost of healthcare.
1. Close the Texas Healthcare Coverage Gap ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
Texas remains among the states that have not adopted the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. Under the ACA framework, Medicaid expansion can cover eligible low-income adults, with the federal government providing an enhanced matching rate for the expansion population.
Dione will advocate for Texas to capture available federal healthcare resources instead of allowing Texans' federal tax dollars to support healthcare expansion elsewhere while millions of Texans remain uninsured.
As a federal legislator, she will support policies that strengthen incentives for Texas to close its coverage gap while protecting taxpayers and demanding measurable results from healthcare programs.
2. Make Private Health Insurance More Affordable ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
Healthcare reform must also help working and middle-class Texans who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but are struggling with premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.
The enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits expired at the end of 2025, reducing financial assistance for many Marketplace consumers in 2026.
Dione will support targeted federal assistance that makes Marketplace coverage more affordable for working families while pursuing reforms that address the underlying cost of healthcare rather than simply shifting those costs to taxpayers.
Her objective is straightforward: more competition, more transparency, lower costs and greater consumer choice.
3. Lower Prescription Drug Costs ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
No Texan should have to ration medication because of its price.
Dione will support strengthening Medicare's ability to negotiate the prices of high-cost prescription drugs, increasing competition from safe generic and biosimilar medicines, improving transparency across the prescription-drug supply chain and holding pharmaceutical companies and intermediaries accountable for practices that unnecessarily increase consumer costs.
Medicare's first negotiated prices took effect in 2026. CMS estimated that people with Medicare Part D would save approximately $1.5 billion from the first group of negotiated drugs under the standard benefit design.
Dione wants Congress to build on approaches that demonstrably reduce costs while preserving American medical innovation.
4. Protect Rural and Community Healthcare ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
Healthcare access means little if the nearest doctor, hospital, maternity unit or specialist is an hour away.
Dione will fight for federal investment in rural hospitals, community health centers, telehealth, mental-health services, maternal healthcare and workforce programs that help underserved Texas communities recruit and retain physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
The goal is not simply more insurance cards. The goal is access to actual healthcare.
5. Put Patients and Families Ahead of the Healthcare Bureaucracy ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
Dione supports greater transparency so Texans can better understand what healthcare will cost before receiving a bill.
She will support efforts to strengthen hospital and insurer price transparency, reduce unnecessary administrative costs, address surprise medical expenses and make it easier for consumers to compare healthcare options.
Healthcare policy should be designed around the patient — not around bureaucracy.
HOW DO WE PAY FOR IT?
Dione Sims believes expanding healthcare must be accompanied by fiscal responsibility. With the federal government already facing substantial deficits, Washington cannot simply write another blank check.
Her approach is to redirect resources, leverage federal matching funds, reduce unnecessary healthcare spending and demand greater value for every taxpayer dollar.
For Medicaid expansion populations, federal law provides an enhanced federal matching rate, meaning the federal government bears the substantial majority of qualifying expansion costs.
Dione will also support responsible financing strategies that include:
Capturing federal healthcare funding available to Texas while requiring strong fiscal oversight and measurable outcomes.
Reducing waste, fraud and unnecessary administrative spending across federal healthcare programs.
Expanding effective prescription-drug competition and negotiation where it produces documented savings.
Closing unjustified tax loopholes and ensuring that major corporations and extremely wealthy taxpayers meet their lawful obligations rather than shifting the burden to working families.
Investing in preventive and primary care where evidence demonstrates that earlier treatment can reduce more expensive emergency and acute care.
Requiring transparency and accountability so taxpayers can see where healthcare dollars are going and what results they are producing.
Dione will insist that major healthcare legislation identify its costs and financing before asking taxpayers to support it.
THE BOTTOM LINE ↗ (opens dionesimsforcongress.com/platform/healthcare at this heading)
Texas should not lead America in the number of people without health insurance.
We can do better.
Dione Sims' healthcare agenda is built around a simple principle:
Protect the patient. Strengthen the family. Lower the cost. Expand access. Spend taxpayer dollars responsibly.
This isn't about creating a bigger government healthcare bureaucracy.
It is about building a smarter healthcare system where a child's healthcare, a parent's prescription or an unexpected diagnosis does not become a family's financial crisis.
Affordable healthcare is part of economic freedom — and every Texas family deserves the opportunity to pursue the American Dream without living one medical emergency away from financial hardship.

TX-25 is a district full of workers, builders, farmers, and entrepreneurs who deserve a representative who fights for economic opportunity — not just rhetoric. Dione Sims is running on a clear pro-development, pro-economy agenda that creates jobs, brings investment home, and makes TX-25 competitive for the next generation.
That means standing up for small businesses, investing in infrastructure, supporting workforce training, and ensuring every community in this district — urban and rural — has a seat at the table when growth happens.
"You can't have freedom without economic opportunity."
