Elizabeth Lotterhos
I am an Air Force Security Forces Veteran, an OIF Veteran, proud mother of two teenage boys, and I have lived in this district since June 2013. I am militantly empathetic. This means that no one is going to be able to negotiate my core beliefs out of me. I know that every Texan deserves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Aside from that, I am consistently paying attention to politics, and I am fascinated with true history. All of this combined makes me qualified to be a Texas House Representative.
1) Convincing Republicans in the House that Progressive policies are popular. I plan to hold town halls in different areas of the district every month. I want to encourage civic engagement, and charter busses for my constituents to go to Austin to lobby the Texas legislature and tell their stories. 2) Being a Texas State Legislature is not a full time job. I plan to push the issue that it should be a full time job and should pay a livable wage. The way it is now, normal, working class people cannot afford to become a state representative, and current members use this as an excuse to not be available to their constituents. The only reason I am able to run for Texas House is because I am a service connected, Website: elizabethforprogress.com disabled veteran.
