Submitted Biography "I have been a Tomball resident for 30 years, wife to a cybersecurity engineer, and mother of two brilliant sons who now work for Department of Defense. As a REALTOR© and small business owner, I have experience working with Congress and lobbying on behalf of affordable housing, affordable healthcare, and consumer protection. One recent example of my lobbying efforts is with veteran homelessness. Harris County had not received HUD-VASH funds for homeless veterans since 2016. Soon after knocking on the doors of Congress, Harris County received $800,000 in HUD-VASH funds for the first time in years. During the 2022 election, I worked as a Presiding Judge at one of the busiest polling sites in Harris County. I also worked Ballot Board, Signature Verification, and Central Count. After losing their races, dozens of candidates sued Harris County over false accusations of election fraud. My witness testimony helped to deliver a win for Harris County in nearly all of those cases. I felt compelled to get more involved in politics after seeing family separation at the border, the George Floyd protests, and the overturning of Roe vs Wade. With two children who work for the Pentagon, I want responsible leadership in the White House and a Congress that works for the people."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


We have more in common than what divides us. With extremism in government, the 118th Congress has been chaotic and unproductive. For the past 30 years, Congress has enacted an average of 419 bills into legislation per term. This Congress has only enacted 78 bills as of August 2024. Partisan politics are dividing our nation, and we must learn to talk to each other and compromise to get things done.


The Purple Solution. Instead of "reaching across the aisle," we should eliminate "the aisle" and focus on common sense solutions. As representative of District 38, I would make the office more accessible to our constituents. I would create a mobile office that changes location daily to better serve people throughout the district. I want to serve ALL people in the district, and not just the ones who voted for me. It's not a red problem or a blue problem, but a purple solution!


Let's get to work! The incumbent representative has missed 1 in 6 votes (188 votes as of July), is under investigation for misuse of funds, and lives two districts away. We deserve better representation than this. We need a representative who will show up to work and get things done. I have been able to get things accomplished without even being in office. Our government needs to work smarter AND harder.

The incumbent representative has missed 1 in 6 votes (188 votes as of July), is under investigation for misuse of funds, and lives two districts away. We deserve better representation than this.

We need a representative who will show up to work and get things done. I have been able to get things accomplished without even being in office. Our government needs to work smarter AND harder.
Get money out of politics

Ever since the Citizens United decision, dark money has flooded the political landscape, marginalizing our voting power.

Fix the border It has been almost 30 years since Congress last passed immigration reform. I have visited the border multiple times and heard from officials what improvements are needed.

Reduce housing costs As a REALTOR©, I understand how housing costs impact generations of families and businesses.

End veteran homelessness Those who have served our country should never face homelessness.

Protect women’s health

Women across America have lost reproductive freedom at the discretion of politicians. These matters should be determined by individuals and their doctors.
For starters, our representative should live in the district they represent. Know our community , what they need, and what they expect to be completed by the representative that we hire and holding them accountable. A good representative should prioritize the needs of the American people over the desires of their party.
On the surface, Congress is supposed to elect a Speaker and pass a budget. Our current Congress has had issues with both of these tasks. On a deeper level, representatives are supposed to respond to the needs of their district and enact legislation that helps all Americans. They also inform their constituents of developments that impact the district and mitigate any potential harms that may arise.
On a national level, they are the microscopic representation of Americans. The Senate represents the state, and the House represents the people.
It is more important to have people experience. Listening to the needs of their people, and being able to truly interpret what they are trying to say and what you as a representative can do to help them.
Income inequality has a widespread impact on all facets of society, and will only worsen without proper policy solutions.
The brevity of a representative's term makes it difficult to show results in time for reelection.
There are multiple representatives who inspire me in a variety of ways. I admire Sheila Jackson Lee's determination, Jamie Raskin's deep knowledge of the Constitution, Liz Cheney's integrity to put country over party, and Jasmine Crockett's fiery attitude to make things better.
The PTSD Foundation has a rehabilitation campus in CD38 called Camp Hope. I have visited Camp Hope several times and gotten to know many veterans who suffer from PTSD and are dedicating themselves to a better path where they can use their skills acquired in the military for domestic use. PTSD is a mental illness that can bring our warriors down to rock bottom, but their determination to serve allows them to overcome and adapt for a better life.
Yes. Compromise is an integral part of the Purple Solution.
Raising revenue is where some of the income inequalities originate in America. Instead of top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top, we need a middle-out approach.
Investigations should not be retaliatory or have hidden agendas.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2024. Information below was calculated on 1/29/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2024, 164 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 63 Democrats and 101 Republicans. That was 4.3 candidates per district, the lowest number since 2016, when 3.5 candidates ran.

In 2022, the first election after the number of congressional districts in Texas increased from 36 to 38, 5.8 candidates ran per district. In 2020, 6.4 candidates ran, and 5.8 candidates ran in 2018.

The 164 candidates who ran in 2024 were also the fewest total number to run since 2016, when 127 candidates ran. One hundred candidates ran for Texas’ then-36 districts in 2014, the fewest in the decade, while 231 ran in 2020, the decade-high.

Three seats were open. That was the fewest since 2016, when two seats were open. Six seats were open in 2022 and 2020, and eight were in 2018—the decade-high.

Reps. Kay Granger (R-12th) and Michael Burgess (R-26th) retired from public office. Rep. Colin Allred (D-32nd) didn't seek re-election in order to run for the U.S. Senate. Fourteen candidates—10 Democrats and 4 Republicans—ran for the open 32nd district, the most candidates who ran for a seat in 2024.

Thirty-nine primaries—16 Democratic and 23 Republican—were contested this year. That was the fewest since 2016, when 33 were contested. There were 44 contested primaries in 2022, 50 in 2020, and 46 in 2018.

Nineteen incumbents—six Democrats and thirteen Republicans—faced primary challengers this year. That was the same number as 2022, and one more than in 2020.

Three districts—the 9th, the 20th, and the 30th—were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed to run. Five were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run—the 1st, the 11th, the 13th, the 19th, and the 25th.


Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+12. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 12 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Texas' 38th the 116th most Republican district nationally.[8]
