Texas Tribune seeks accounts from Texans on rising everyday costs

The Texas Tribune is asking Texans to describe how higher costs for housing, health care and groceries have affected them, via a form published with the request [1]. It reports that Texans are spending considerably more on necessities than in the past while incomes have not kept pace [1]. The call-out cites the midterm campaign, in which candidates are presenting themselves as able to bring costs down, and asks about home affordability, grocery and child care expenses, home insurance premiums, and delayed medical visits [1].
