Occupation: ATTORNEY
Hi! I’m Claire Reynolds and I’m the Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in Texas’s 11th Congressional District. I live in Austin, and gerrymandering has placed me in District 11, which stretches out through San Angelo, Midland, and past Odessa.
Candidate-statedI was born in Indiana and grew up in central Illinois, deep in soybean country. I received my degree in journalism from Northwestern University (Medill School of Journalism), and lived in Chicago for several years. That’s where I learned to love the Cubs and to never, ever put ketchup on a hot dog. After a few more Chicago winters, though, I headed out to San Diego, and earned my Juris Doctorate at the University of San Diego School of Law and passed the California bar. That’s also where I learned that I was not cut out for surfing.

Positions and priorities
A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.
Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.
Women's Rights
Candidate positionA woman's right to choose had been settled law since 1973, but the radical right in Texas and the Supreme Court have rolled back almost 50 years of reproductive freedom in 2022. Most Americans do not want this. Abortion in Texas should be safe, legal, and rare.

Claire's Top Issues
Candidate positionTexas is home to NASA and SpaceX for crying out loud. I want to restore the funding that’s been cut from critical scientific and philanthropic programs. Texas in particular should be a leader in research to cure disease, fight hunger, and maintain local energy independence.

Why I’m Running
Candidate positionI’m angry. Really, really angry. The President of the United States is trampling the civil rights of Americans and appears to believe the Constitution is just a suggestion. He’s taking over powers that Congress is cheerfully abdicating. He’s treating immigrants—the hard-working backbone of our society—like criminals at best and animals at worst. He’s destroying our relationships with America’s longstanding allies and cozying up to our most dangerous adversaries. He’s dismantling vital scientific research programs and social institutions. He’s obsessed with punishing anyone who dares criticize him. And Congress, including our own District 11 representative, appears to be overjoyed about this obvious slide into fascism and authoritarianism.

Claire's Top Issues
Candidate positionArtificial intelligence is here and it isn’t going away–but that doesn’t mean we have to accept whatever is thrown at us by a handful of techbro billionaires racing to cash in. It is possible to embrace scientific advances while still ensuring that they proceed in a responsible way that will do the least amount of harm to Americans. Sensible regulation is… well, it’s sensible.

Claire's Top Issues
Candidate positionThis is a good thing, because we need these industries if Texas is to remain competitive as an energy producer. China has gone “all in” on all types of energy: coal, oil, gas, and nuclear, but also solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal. Texas should do the same.

Affordability
Candidate positionNobody should go bankrupt because they break a hip or get cancer. And the current system of having our jobs associated with our health insurance is both absurd and unique in the developed world. A single-payer health insurance system may seem out of reach, but Medicare and the VA do just that for millions and millions of Texans.
