Related: About this forumChip Roy has a challenger!!
https://www.drkristinhook.orgTHIS is the kind of candidate we need! More Scientists in congress!
From her website -
Hey yall, Im Dr. Kristin Hook!
Im a scientist running as a Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress to serve the needs of TX-21 and to oust Chip Roy in 2024!
Im a UT-Austin graduate, former classroom teacher, and reproductive biologist who turned to public service as a government watchdog in the wake of the pandemic.
Im running for office to make sure sound science is included in the laws that govern our nation, to help level the playing field for working class Texas families like my own, and to change the face of power to empower other women and underdogs like me.
The Hill Country needs a Texan representative who values women, believes in science, and wants to enact laws based on evidence. It's well past time to replace Ted Cruz's lackey, Chip Roy. Chip belongs in queso, not in Congress!
As a third-generation Texan and Latina, I hope I can earn your trust and your vote, and I am so excited to fight for you!
At the height of the pandemic, she served as a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow working in the office of Senator Elizabeth Warren and then for the National Institutes of Health.
