I’m not going to Washington to make promises I can’t keep.
I’m not walking in thinking I can fix everything overnight.
That’s not honest. That’s not leadership.
But I am going in with a plan to do real work from day one—work that actually helps people in South Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Cedar Hill, and Lancaster.

First Two Years in Congress: Real Work. Real Accountability. TX-30.
Ox Nordberg – Candidate for U.S. Congress

Let Me Be Straight With You

Here’s What I Believe

God didn’t create people to be stuck.
If families are working hard and still struggling…
if young people don’t see a future…
if help exists but never reaches the people who need it…
That’s not a people problem.
That’s a system problem.

And it’s our responsibility to fix it.
I’ve seen what it looks like when people fall through the cracks.
And I’m not willing to accept that as normal.

Phase 1 (Months 1–6): Tell the Truth About What’s Really Happening

Before you fix anything, you have to see it clearly.
We’re going to follow the money
Not statewide averages. Not polished reports.
We’re going to look at:

• ZIP codes

• Neighborhoods

• Real outcomes

If federal dollars are supposed to reach South Dallas, Lancaster, or Duncanville,
we’re going to find out if they actually do.
And if they don’t—we’re going to say it plainly.

We’re going to build an office that actually helps people

If a veteran can’t get care…
if a senior is stuck waiting…
if a family keeps getting ignored…
That’s not just a case.
That’s a failure.

My office will track those failures, identify where the system is breaking down, and use that information to push for change.

We’re not here to process paperwork.
We’re here to solve problems.

We’re going to make sure healthcare is real—not just promised

Texas now provides 12 months of postpartum Medicaid.
That matters. But coverage doesn’t always mean care.
We’re going to look at:

• Whether there are enough providers

• Whether people are actually being seen

• Whether outcomes are improving

Because a system that looks good on paper but fails people in real life…
is still broken.

Phase 2 (Months 6–12): Bring Resources Home

Once we know where the gaps are, we go to work.
We will help our cities and organizations access federal resources
There are federal programs available right now.
But too many communities miss out because:

• The process is complicated

• Smaller cities don’t have the staff to navigate it

• The system isn’t built with them in mind

My office will step in and help bring resources into our communities for:

• Healthcare access, including maternal health support

• Job training and apprenticeships

• Community safety and violence prevention

Not someday. Now.

We will focus on real school outcomes

Not district averages.
Actual campuses. Actual students.
If a school is struggling, we will:

• Bring attention to it

• Understand why

• Push for better results

Because every child deserves a real opportunity—not just a statistic.

Phase 3 (Year 2): Accountability and Results

This is where we move from effort to outcomes.

The District Ledger

We will publish a public record showing:

• What’s working

• What’s not

• Where people are being left behind

No hiding behind polished reports.
Just the truth.

We will work across systems to solve real problems

Some challenges don’t belong to just one agency.
We will bring together:

• Healthcare providers

• Transportation leaders

• Housing partners

• Workforce organizations

To solve problems that have been ignored for too long.

We will hold Washington accountable

If federal agencies are failing this district:
We will ask questions.
We will demand answers.
And we will not stay quiet about it.

TX-30 will not be overlooked.

Why This Matters

Because right now, where you live can shape your outcomes.

• In parts of Dallas County, life expectancy can differ by more than a decade depending on ZIP code

• Some communities face higher uninsured rates and limited access to care

• Too many families are dealing with economic pressure while doing everything right

This isn’t just data.
This is about whether people have a real chance to live, grow, and move forward.

My Commitment

I’m not offering slogans.
I’m offering work.

• Discipline

• Transparency

• Accountability

We’re going to learn the system.
We’re going to use it the right way.
And we’re going to make it work for the people it was meant to serve.

Final Word

This isn’t about politics.
This is about people.
And I’m going to do the work.
