Hello John!
My name is Jessica Mason, and I'm running for Congress to represent the people of Texas' 30th District!
From growing up housing insecure and not being able to afford preventative medication to enlisting in the Navy to complete my degree, my story is not unique to working-class people. I grew up in a community that was set up to fail by design. I am not just another politician or political operative; I’m a daughter of Dallas — running to represent the community I grew up in and the people I love.
Raised with my sister by my mother and grandmother, my family barely had enough for ourselves, but if my grandmother knew someone needed food, she would bring them something. Once, a neighbor offered to braid my hair for free. She knew picture day was coming, and my family couldn't afford to get my hair done. My neighbor was looking out for me — that type of compassion and understanding are inherent to Dallas.
South Dallas raised me, and Washington will never change that. I'm sick of seeing my community left behind and tired of watching the people I care about ignored by corrupt politicians. TX-30 deserves a leader who will fight for them and put the needs of working families above special interests. CHIP IN NOW to help me bring this fight to Capitol Hill >>

In Dallas, when things get tough, the only thing we can do is work harder. For five years, I worked as a Navy medic while making sure to pursue my bachelor's degree. I counseled service members ailing with the mental tolls of war, sexual harassment and sexual violence, and substance abuse. After completing my military contract, I decided to pursue my Master of Public Administration while working as a legislative aide in the Virginia State Legislature.
Working in public policy, I saw how corporate money worked to influence policies that destroy Black and Brown communities across the nation. I didn't leave Dallas to make this world worse for another little Black girl. So as soon as I completed my master's, I returned to Dallas.
Returning home, I was astonished to see things were exactly the same as they were when I left, if not worse. I started working as an affordable housing administrator to deliver life-sustaining resources, such as rental assistance, adequate nutrition, and healthcare, to families and individuals. I began volunteering at various food pantries, and as the holidays came around, I organized toy and coat drives for my community because I was once that little girl with no presents under the tree and holes in her coat. But truthfully, charity can only do so much.
It's hard to see my community in pain. The people of this district aren't just constituents. These are my friends and neighbors. And they are suffering. We are hungry; we are scared. And no one seems to care.
TX-30 needs policies that are designed for our success. And that starts with new leadership that sees our humanness and understands our struggles. That's why I'm in this fight -- to give back to my community and lift up the voices of TX-30.
But this isn't going to be easy. I'm running a fully people-powered campaign, fueled and funded by grassroots donations and ground support from everyday people like you. So today, I'm asking for your help to lay the foundation we need to take this fight all the way to Congress. Will you pitch in anything you can right now to help me finally give TX-30 the representation we deserve?
