In our Senate District 25, voters have elected women county judges, commissioners, mayors, city council members, district attorneys, district clerks and sheriffs. Women bring a fresh perspective to public office. In the Legislature, for example, they often champion family issues, such as education, health care and safety. Women candidates for public office have a distinct advantage over men in the minds of most voters. Just as women in early Texas worked with men to establish homesteads and communities, men and women in the Senate work together to pass legislation that benefits all Texans.
