Why Brittany is Running
Brittany is running for Texas House District 61 because too many families are paying more and getting less, and too many decisions are being made without listening to the people who live here. She believes we deserve leadership that reflects our values, understands real-world problems, and delivers results that strengthen our communities for the next generation.
Schools are closing, costs keep rising, and decisions are made without transparency.
Brittany is a senior software engineer and business owner where she fixes broken systems for a living.
Her work has spanned projects supporting national defense and critical infrastructure for the Department of Defense, NASA, and the State Department.
Brittany is running to strengthen public schools, make life more affordable, and protect Texans with honest, accountable leadership.
When the extremes win, we all lose.
This campaign is powered by neighbors — not corporate donors or special interests. If you believe in strong public schools, real affordability, and honest leadership in District 61, I'd be honored to earn your support today!
We're building early momentum — Every dollar helps us reach more voters and flip this seat.
Our Priorities
Brittany is focused on listening to the people of District 61 and delivering results that reflect our shared values: strong schools, affordability, safety, transparency, and a future built to last.
Brittany will fight for real affordability: lower everyday costs, responsible property tax reform, and a state budget that respects taxpayers. Brittany supports practical solutions that lower healthcare costs, protect coverage, and expand access to mental health services.
When schools are under-funded, local taxes rise and communities lose. Brittany will fight to keep public education dollars in public schools, protect local control, and invest in the future of our kids, our teachers, and our communities.
Brittany believes government should work for the people who live and work here — and that starts with listening. She'll be accessible, responsive, and grounded in the values of District 61, fighting corruption and delivering practical results for families.
Safe communities start with trust, resources, and smart leadership. Brittany supports police and first responders while also advocating for better resources for victims, mental health services, and prevention. Public safety means safer streets, safer schools, and ensuring Texans in District 61 feel supported.
Brittany supports practical, community-focused investments in roads, water, and infrastructure that keep families safe and our local economy moving. With a background in systems and long-term planning, Brittany will prioritize infrastructure solutions that reduce congestion, create local jobs, and make everyday life more affordable for families in our community.
Families shouldn't have to choose between their health and their finances. Brittany believes health care should be accessible, affordable, and reliable — especially for working families, seniors, and small business owners. She supports strengthening local health care access and protecting patients from surprise costs.
