I am currently serving as a the Judge in Wilson County, Justice of the Peace, first elected in 2010. I earned my AA Degree from Central Texas College in Killeen and BA Degree in Education from Dallas Baptist University and I hold a State of Texas Lifetime Teaching Certificate. I am also a member of the Floresville Lions Club, the Wilson County Historical Society, the American Legion Auxiliary and serve on the advisory board for Camino Real (MHMR) Services, Connally Memorial Medical Center Bio Ethics Committee and Ex-Officio member of the Mission Heritage Partners – San Antonio Missions (UNESCO) Non-profit. I am a member and children’s Bible teacher at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs. Mother to four grown children and grandmother to three. I am the daughter of a well known and highly respected community leader, LaJuana Newnam-Leus, who is still very active and whole-heartedly supporting my run to serve our community in the 15th Congressional District. I will never forget where I come from or who I represent. I am a staunch Constitutional Conservative and I will never choose power over principle or politics over my family or the families of Texas District 15.
  • Support the Oil and Gas Industry - As seen by the recent rise in gas prices, it is important to elect leaders that will help continue to guide our country back to an energy dominant nation, not one dependent on foreign powers.
  • Secure our Border - We MUST enforce the rule of law and that starts with our border. Ensuring Texas' Border Security is the key to our Nations' security.
  • Secure a better future for our families - At a time where the far-left continue to challenge our Values, Texans are seeking and are ready for fearless leaders that will fight for our values. I am willing to be that leader in Washington and fight for our community.
As a fiscal constitutional conservative, I have watched in disbelief as our elected officials choose to push costly legislation through Congress. I firmly believe the function of government is to serve the people, not take advantage of them. With our nations deficit rising at an exponential, Congress has chosen to steal hard-earned dollars directly out of the purses and wallets of taxpayers. As your Representative, I pledge to stand up to Biden and his congressional cronies to keep them out of our pocketbook.
I look up to my mother.

Phyllis Schlafly national leader of the conservative movement since 1964 and founder of National Volunteer Organization Eagle Forum. She was an articulate and successful opponent of the radical feminist movement and named one of 100 most important women of the 20th Century by the Ladies Home Journal.

Ronald Regan, the 40th U.S. President. He was a principled conservative leader that fought for the people of this country. I've always been inspired by his positive demeanor and his position as a pro-life and pro-business president.
Fiduciary Responsiblity! Governments DO NOT generate revenue! Elected Officials spend the money collected from the People and MUST remain as fiduciary agents of the People.
Fiduciary, as stated above. To listen and hear the concerns, recommendations and requirements of the people represented.
Dishwasher at the Floresville Nursing Home. I held that job for the last year and half in high school.
The Bible. It literally has everything past, present and future. And, as a good friend of mine constantly reminds me it stands for "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth."
All bills that generate tax revenue originate in the House of Representatives. As a fiscal constitutional conservative I strongly believe that the function of government is to serve the people, not take advantage of them.
Absolutely. Experience as an elected official, being responsible to constituents for decisions made on a regular basis, is extremely beneficial.
Sovereignty, The authority of the United States to govern itself as outlined in the United States Constitution, Paragraph 1. "We the people of the United States in order to for a more perfect union establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, prove for the common defense, probe the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"
Education and Labor, Energy and Commerce, Homeland Security, Judiciary, Natural Resources, Small Business and Ways and Means.
Our Founding Fathers, in the US Constitution set the term at 2 years for the House of Representatives and I am a staunch Constitutional Conservative.
Terms are determined and limited by the voters as defined in the United States Constitution.
Yes, Sam Rayburn of Texas who served in the House of Representative from 1953 - 1961.
Lots of people wear Superman pajamas, but what kind of pajamas does Superman wear?
Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
Article I of the US Constitution establishes the Congress. It was established to facilitate debate and compromise on all legislative matters.
