Dolores Lozano is a candidate for Harris County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, Place 2.

ike so many Mexican-American families, she was born to working-class parents who entered the workforce straight out of high school. She is the daughter of Precinct 6 Chief Deputy Lillian Lozano and 37-Year Local Union 551 Member Jose Lozano.

As the eldest of three girls, Dolores grew up watching her parents exhaust whatever resources they had to make ends meet. And from an early age, Dolores’ parents taught her the value of hard work and emphasized the importance of education.

In the early 90s, the state of Houston public schools sent her parents on a search for more opportunities.

Dolores earned a scholarship to Baylor University in Waco, where she became the first-generation college graduate with a degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. She worked several jobs to pay for her tuition expenses, overcame institutional barriers, and survived an abusive relationship.

Dolores’ passion for Quality Education and Gender Equality was instrumental in launching Impact Hub Houston, a locally rooted, globally connected nonprofit organization working to make Houston a role model for how the world solves its most pressing issues.

Dolores currently enhances the image, brand, and impact of nonprofits and businesses across the country.

  • No student should feel silenced within the education system, because truancy intervention programs should be more intentional and focused.
  • No family should feel like eviction is inevitable, because the judge “just wouldn’t listen.”
  • No one should feel the burden of entering the court room without a translator, because everyone should be able to self-advocate in the language that feels most comfortable for them.
