Pervez Agwan: A Progressive Voice For Texas' Future

Why Lone Star Left is endorsing Pervez Agwan for Texas' Congressional District 07.

This week, Texas saw record temperatures throughout the state, reaching 110° in many places. In Kingsville, the heat index reached 125°. Texas is hot. It’s always been hot, but we’re seeing longer and more frequent heat waves due to climate change. Extreme weather is on the rise in Texas. Aside from the heat, droughts, wildfires, flooding, and hurricanes will worsen severely unless the state gets off of fossil fuels and eliminates greenhouse gas pollution by 2050.

Two weeks ago, hundreds of thousands of dead fish washed up on the shores of Texas, and our grid continued to tip-toe toward a total failure.

Humanity cannot afford to keep politicians in office who won’t take the climate crisis seriously. Moreso, we should not elect people who cater to the whims of the fossil fuel industry.

This is why Lone Star Left is endorsing Pervez Agwan for Texas’ Congressional District 07.
