Meet‍ ‍Roxanne

I was raised in East Texas and I graduated from Nacogdoches High School. I met my husband in church while he was a senior at SFASU. He became a state trooper with the Texas DPS in 1986, and we married the following year.

Over the next few years we had our daughters. We built a family and now are proud grandparents of two grandsons. I received my BA from the Univ. of Texas at Dallas and my Masters in Edu. Admin. from the Univ. of Phoenix online. In 2004, I began my career in education as an elementary teacher and eventually retired as a principal.

Throughout my life, I’ve felt a strong desire to serve my community, but time and energy were limited. Now, with both available, I’m ready to give back.

East Texas families deserve better. I’m running to be your voice in Austin, and I need your help to get there. I want to help those in East Texas who are struggling to put food on the table, afford healthcare, and find decent-paying jobs. These are real challenges that affect families every day.

There are many other issues like education, water rights, on and on. Legislators always seem to find money for what they want—now it’s time we find money for the people.

I believe that with compassion, dedication, and practical solutions, we can ease these burdens—so people can worry less and enjoy their families more.

Roxanne spent 21 years in East Texas classrooms as a teacher and principal — she knows exactly what vouchers steal from our kids. I’m proud to endorse her for House District 11.
