It starts local.
News coming in from all over the state that all of the super MAGA anti-public education school board candidates were defeated.
And this picture is why I fight. At the Katy ISD school board election night party, my son was able to reconnect with his former principal, and newly appointed Katy ISD school board member, James Cross, to let him know how he made a lasting impression on his life.
And having ousted the Mom’s For Liberty endorsed candidate from our community, James Cross will now be in the position to fight for ALL of the students in our district.
It was one of those truly special full circle moments.
This community is healing. This community is FIGHTING. And I am here for every single second. 💙

Unfortunately, she won re-election. She had a few challengers, but didn't even make it to runoff.
