Why Brittany is Running

A Leader for District 61

Brittany is running for Texas House District 61 because too many families here are paying more and getting less. Too many decisions that affect our lives get made by people who never bothered to ask us what we think. She's tired of the corruption that's become business as usual in Austin, tired of government that answers to donors and insiders instead of the people who actually live here. It's supposed to be government of the people, by the people, for the people, not government of the connected, by the connected, for the connected. She wants leadership that actually listens, that understands what it feels like to worry about a grocery bill or a property tax notice, and that delivers instead of just talking about it.

She didn't grow up with money or connections. What she had was a family that believed in showing up and doing the work: farmers, teachers, military veterans. Her grandfather was a farmer, a Justice of the Peace, a church deacon, and a deputy sheriff, and he taught her early that integrity isn't a strategy, it's just who you are. She wanted to build things but didn't have the formal training for it, so she taught herself to code. No bootcamp, no classroom, just a problem she needed to solve and enough stubbornness to keep going until it clicked. She worked more jobs than she can easily count, and built that self-taught skill into a career. Nearly 20 years now in software engineering, including work for the Department of Defense, NASA, and the State Department.

Schools are closing. Costs keep climbing. And too many decisions in Austin get made behind closed doors. Brittany is running to change that: keep public dollars in public schools, make life more affordable, and bring some honesty back to how this district gets represented. Her campaign runs on donations from neighbors, not corporate PACs, and she won't take a dime from defense contractors, surveillance companies, or anyone else looking for a return on their investment.

When the extremes win, we all lose.

Our Priorities

A Fighter for District 61 Values

Brittany is focused on listening to District 61 and delivering on what actually matters here: strong schools, real affordability, safety, and a government you can trust.

Stop the Squeeze on Families

Grocery bills, property taxes, health care costs. All of it keeps climbing faster than paychecks do. Brittany wants a state budget that respects taxpayers, real property tax reform, and health policy that actually lowers costs instead of shifting them around. Mental health care shouldn't be a luxury either, and she'll fight to make it easier to get.

Public Dollars. Public Schools.

When public schools go underfunded, local taxes go up and everybody loses: parents, teachers, kids, the whole community. Brittany will fight to keep public education dollars where they belong, in public schools, with local control staying local instead of getting handed off to Austin.

People Before Politics

Government should work for the people who live here, not whoever wrote the biggest check. Brittany has zero conflicts of interest. She won't take money from defense contractors, surveillance companies, or private prison interests, and she'll push for real ethics reform in Austin: stronger disclosure rules, and an end to legislators voting on contracts that end up benefiting themselves. Accountability starts with refusing the money in the first place.

Public Safety & Strong Communities

Real public safety takes trust, resources, and leadership that thinks ahead instead of just reacting. Brittany supports our police and first responders, and she also knows that means backing up victims' services, mental health resources, and prevention. Safer streets and safer schools start with a community that actually has what it needs.

Accessible, Affordable Health Care

Nobody should have to choose between paying rent and seeing a doctor. Brittany wants health care that's actually accessible and affordable for working families, seniors, and small business owners, including protection from surprise medical bills.

Smart, Effective Border Security

Brittany supports real investment in secure ports of entry, technology, and coordinated law enforcement to stop drug and human trafficking, not costly political stunts that drain state resources without making Texans safer. She opposes using border policy as an excuse for unconstitutional overreach, and believes local law enforcement should focus on keeping our communities safe rather than serving as an extension of federal immigration politics.

The Second Amendment

Brittany believes in the right to keep and bear arms. She also believes responsible ownership and public safety go hand in hand, and most gun owners already live that out every day. She'll defend the Second Amendment in Austin and back the basics that keep firearms out of the wrong hands, like background checks, because protecting that right and protecting our kids shouldn't have to be a partisan fight.

AI & Data Centers: Innovation Without the Blank Check

Brittany has spent nearly 20 years working as a software engineer. She's fine with the technology itself. What she's not fine with is Texas handing AI data centers a blank check while everyday electric bills go up to cover it. These companies should pay for their own power and water, report what they're actually using, and lose the special tax breaks that get passed on to homeowners and schools.
