Yolanda R. Prince for US Congress

Candidate-stated

A proud Tyler native, Yolanda R. Prince was raised on faith, resilience, and the expectation that you don’t wait for change—you step up and create it. As the second of three children, a twin and an older brother, she early on learned the importance of family, responsibility, and standing firm in what you believe. Yolanda is a public servant, organizer, and leader who is not afraid to challenge systems that fail the people they are supposed to serve. Her work is centered on three priorities: advocating for rural opportunities and holding the government accountable, addressing economic affordability, and expanding access to healthcare.

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.

Affordability

Candidate position

The cost of groceries, electricity, housing, prescription drugs, and other essentials continues to rise. Congress must pursue policies that lower everyday costs and provide relief to working families. I will also work to make homeownership more attainable for first-time buyers and middle-class families.

Minimum Wage

Candidate position

The federal minimum wage has remained stagnant for far too long. I support raising the minimum wage to at least $15 per hour so that full-time workers can earn a living wage and support their families without relying on government assistance.

K-12 Education

Candidate position

Teachers are the foundation of our education system and deserve professional wages that allow them to focus on teaching rather than working second jobs. I support raising teacher pay, protecting public education, expanding special education services, providing universal school meals, and investing in universal pre-kindergarten.

Rural Healthcare

Candidate position

Rural East Texas has experienced some of the highest hospital closure rates in the state. Families are often forced to drive hours for specialist appointments, emergency care, or routine medical services. Congress must increase Medicare reimbursement rates for providers and hospitals to help keep rural healthcare facilities open and financially stable.

Medicare for All

Candidate position

I support a Medicare for All single-payer healthcare systems, that guarantees health insurance coverage for every American. No family should face bankruptcy, overwhelming medical debt, or have to start a fundraiser simply because a loved one became sick.

Prescription Drug Costs

Candidate position

Americans pay some of the highest prescription drug prices in the world. Congress must hold pharmaceutical companies accountable and negotiate lower drug prices. No one should have to skip medication or ration prescriptions because they cannot afford them. East Texans are facing hundred and even thousand dollar prescription prices, and its time we put an end to deciding between dinner or medication.

Social Justice & Government Accountability

Candidate position

The government should be accountable to the people it serves, and every American deserves equal treatment under the law. I will fight for transparency, justice, and the protection of individual rights and freedoms.

America needs a fair, efficient, and humane immigration system. I support creating a realistic pathway to citizenship that is less expensive and less time-consuming than the current process. Congress should ensure immigration courts are adequately staffed so applications can be processed efficiently. I will also advocate for ending the use of detention centers.

Yolanda R. Prince for US Congress

Candidate position

On healthcare, she is clear: the current system is failing too many people. Yolanda supports expanding access, lowering living costs, and ensuring that no family is forced to choose between their health and their financial stability; especially in underserved and rural communities. Yolanda doesn’t approach leadership passively. She brings urgency, clarity, and a willingness to take on tough fights; because for her, this work isn’t theoretical, it’s personal.
