Stefanie Bord
I’m a wife & mom to two daughters who’s
lived in our district for over a decade. During that time, I’ve
experienced hurricanes and severe local flooding, power grid
failures, our public school system unable to fully support
its teachers and students, my healthcare choices be limited,
my husband’s career go on a roller coaster ride, & future
opportunities for my children disappear. I’m mad that our
current rep didn’t stand up for public schools last session the
way he promised to, & I vowed to give people a choice when it
comes to their representation since the Harless family has held
this seat almost uninterrupted since 2007. I’m ready to fight and
be the change for our district & to make Texas a safer, smarter,
stronger home for all of us!
I’ll pass laws about flooding in Texas: not building
homes or other structures in floodplains; about the time
between a warning from the NWS to when it’s communicated
to people in flood-prone areas; require appointed people along
the river who’ll be awake during a flood warning and respond
appropriately. Second, every child in Texas deserves a free, fully
funded public education. Teachers & staff shouldn’t buy their
own basic supplies, and shouldn’t need a second job to stay
afloat. We don’t need more guns in schools either—we need
students’ basic needs met: with food, professional counseling
services, and a safe and welcoming learning environment for
every student, no matter their race, sexual orientation, learning
style or ability.
