MEET JENNIFER

Born and raised in the piney woods of Northeast Texas, Jennifer Lee understands small-town values. As the daughter of an oil field worker and first-generation college graduate, Jennifer knows change only comes through hard work, grit, and determination.

After graduating from Baylor University in 2007, Jennifer spent years working with survivors of domestic violence before being called to pursue her passion: education. With unwavering support from her friends and family, Jennifer became a public-school teacher.

13 years later, Jennifer is still fighting for safe, equitable education for all students. As a single mother and youth athletic coach, Jennifer lives every day by the Rita Wilson quote, “Every child deserves a champion,” and for the children of District 55, Jennifer Lee will be that champion.

    • Prioritizing literacy in K-3 grades.

    • Ensuring accurate and thorough history is taught in public schools.

    • Empower women to make autonomous decisions about their healthcare needs.

    • Restore equitable healthcare and dignity for the LGBTQIA+ community, including lifesaving gender affirming care.

    • Investing in rural broadband access for all Texans.

    • Developing high-speed rail networks to offer new transportation alternatives for Texans.

    Jennifer believes in strengthening common sense gun laws while keeping Texans’ 2nd Amendment Rights intact. Jennifer will work to:

    • Raise the purchasing age to 21 and require a license for all purchases.

    • Require firearm safety courses and licensing renewal.

    • Demand that Texas enact "Red Flag Laws" to keep families safe.

  • LGBTQIA+ Rights

    Texas’ LGBTQIA+ community deserves to have the same rights to be their true, authentic selves like every other Texan. Jennifer will fight to:

    • Expand access to supportive metal health resources for LGBTQIA+ youth.

    • Empower families and medical practitioners to make lifesaving medical decisions or trans children.

    • Expand and strengthen hate crime laws and reduce barriers to justice.
