Campaign website

Beckley's campaign website stated the following:

“	Healthcare Texas is currently experiencing a healthcare crisis. We have the highest number of uninsured in the nation, and millions more are under-insured due to excessively high premiums. Many hospitals in rural areas are being closed, leaving even more Texans vulnerable. We must work to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, high-quality health care, and nobody should go bankrupt because they get sick. This is why Texas must work together to solve these issues. Representative Beckley filed HB 508, HB 509, HB 510, HB 511, HB 512, HB 513, HB 514, and HB 516 relating to this issue during the 87th Legislative Session. Education Education is the foundation of a strong economy, by providing the knowledge and skills needed to meet the ever-changing requirements of the global workforce. Every child should have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to achieve the American dream. Public schools must be fully-funded to achieve the goal of providing children with the tools they need to succeed. Representative Beckley filed HB 516, HB 517, HB 518, and HB 1898 relating to improving the school system in Texas. Environment To ensure that we meet Texas’ growing energy demands, we must continue to improve and expand our existing energy systems. Texas must work together to assure a dependable energy system and to prepare for the changing climate. Increased heat, drought, floods, reduced agricultural yields, negative health impacts, and a declining water supply are additional concerns related to climate change. We must encourage individuals and businesses to create strategic plans to address these concerns. Representative Beckley filed HB 1956, HB 1965, HB 2732, and HB 2877 in regards to the environment. Elections Elections must be free, fair, and secure - we hope that Texas will set an example for the rest of the United States. Elections integrity and accessibility is of utmost importance to Rep. Beckley this session. Rep. Beckley has been appointed to serve on the Elections Committee for the 87th Texas Legislative Session. She will be able to highlight her biggest legislative priority: HB 661 that will bring vote centers to Denton County on Election Day. Representative Beckley filed HB 519, HB 661, HB 1899, HB 1901, HB 2574, HB 2575, HB 2576, and HB 3086 relating to elections. Community Values Everyone in a community should be valued, respected and treated with dignity. Your individual beliefs, religion, orientation, or any other distinction that makes you a unique person should be protected from both institutional and legislative discrimination. We should not be legalizing hatred and exclusion. Instead we should be celebrating the melting pot that is America. Representative Beckley filed HB 1037, HB 1038, and HJR 58 relating to LGBTQ+ equality. Misc. Rep. Beckley aims to continuously improve the State of Texas. Texas is an incredible place to live and it must remain that way. The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has strained the Texas economy - which needs to be addressed this legislative session. Texas needs to work together to return to a sense of normalcy and regrowth. Rep. Beckley looks forward to facing these challenges and bringing about positive change this session. Here’s to making Texas an even better place to live! In addition, Representative Beckley has filed HB 1099, HB 1101, HB 1519, and HB 2054.	”

Expand all | Collapse all

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Michelle Beckley was elected on November 8, 2018, to represent House District 65 in the Texas House of Representatives & then re-elected in 2020. During redistricting she was drawn into House District 63.

Her political inspiration came from attending the 2017 Dallas Women's March.

Beckley is as rooted in her district as they come, having attended public school in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District before earning a degree in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University in 1992.

Her love for her community brought her back to manage the Kookaburra Bird Shop before purchasing it in 2003. Beckley and her husband, Martin Mikes, live in Carrollton with their two Standard Poodles, Mischief and Mayhem, and cat Mika.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Education is a core focus for Michelle Beckley, supporting teachers, schools, and students while opposing the billionaire voucher scam. Properly funding public schools is vital for a robust economy.
• On healthcare, Michelle Beckley prioritizes keeping reproductive health decisions private and accessible. She aims to address issues like limited emergency care for pregnant women, IVF threats, and criminalization of miscarriages, advocating for affordable, quality healthcare for all.
• In the realm of the environment, Michelle Beckley emphasizes enhancing and expanding Texas' energy systems to meet the state's energy needs and stabilize the grid, while striving to maintain Texas as a leader in renewable energy.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education is the key to long term success of Texas, children are our future.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Lately, I’ve been reading LBJ's book, "The Vantage Point." It’s fascinating to see how many issues we face today were also present back then. Understanding our history and learning from it is crucial.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Elected officials must listen to their constituents and represent them effectively. Maintaining open communication is crucial.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The primary responsibility of the Texas State Legislature is to allocate funding for Texas public schools. It is essential that taxpayer money is not diverted to private school vouchers.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I began my career at the bird shop that I now own. Although I have held other positions, my deep passion for continuing the family legacy remained unwavering.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

In Texas, the state legislature is the sole authority effectively countering the governor's extremism. It is functioning precisely as intended.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Addressing our underfunded infrastructure is a significant challenge, particularly when coupled with population growth.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

The most impactful stories I've encountered this cycle are from women sharing their abortion nightmares and concerns about threats to IVF solutions with me, a stranger. Women desire control over their reproductive choices, and government interference has no place in the doctor's office.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

AFLCIO, Metrocrest Democrats, Mother's Against Greg Abbott, AFT, CWA, 314 Action Fund

What committees interest you?

Agriculture and Livestock, along with Business and Industry

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Currently, the absence of transparency and accountability in Abbott's border boondoggle should be a matter of concern for everyone.

Would a state ballot initiative process be good or bad for your state?

Implementing a state ballot initiative process would greatly benefit Texans. Anything that boosts voter participation is advantageous.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
