Stand Up for Science is proud to endorse Dan Barrios, running in Texas’ 32nd Congressional District.

This endorsement recognizes Barrios’ commitment to protecting public health and research, defending evidence-based policymaking, and pushing for government accountability. Dan Barrios is a lifelong Texas resident and currently serves as a Richardson City Councilman. He believes good government can deliver for everyone, not just the few in power. His priorities for Congress include addressing taxes and affordability, restoring trust and accountability, ensuring quality public education and access to healthcare, and addressing challenges that rural areas face, like access to hospitals and pharmacies, underfunded schools, and enacting policies that support Texas ranchers and farmers. A Stand Up for Science endorsement lets voters know that a candidate is a champion of science who will work on behalf of the people to preserve scientific freedom and integrity and keep political and ideological influences out of the scientific process.
