Gina Keating talks with Dione Sims, the Democratic candidate for Texas’ 25th Congressional District, during the Young County Democratic Party’s Beans ’n Jeans gathering in Graham on July 20, 2026.
Sims is a longtime educator, pastor and community activist who worked alongside her grandmother, civil rights leader Dr. Opal Lee, in the successful campaign to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. She is also the founder and president of Unity Unlimited, a nonprofit devoted to education, unity and community engagement.
In this interview, Sims discusses why she is running for Congress and what she believes Washington must do for the rural communities of District 25. The conversation covers access to health care and mental-health services, support for rural hospitals, infrastructure, education, small businesses and the pressures facing working families and older Texans.
Sims also reflects on what she learned from her grandmother’s persistence and how the campaign for Juneteenth shaped her understanding of public service, coalition-building and lasting political change.
