Alex McMenemy, a 27-year-old Green Party candidate from Tomball, rides a custom recumbent bicycle he calls 'The Blue Blazer' and can play six musical instruments.
McMenemy grew up in a low-income family as the youngest of three brothers, studied theatre before switching to accounting in college (which he couldn't finish due to money troubles), and now campaigns as a democratic socialist and vegan. His family's own struggle paying for his brother's cancer treatment shapes his push for free universal healthcare, and he refuses corporate campaign donations.
McMenemy’s take on Texas values
He calls for free higher education and opposes cost being a barrier to finishing a degree, the opposite of diverting public money to private schools. [alexforthepeople.org]
