Full Name
Caroline Fairly
Current job
Medical Negotiator
I am uniquely qualified to represent the people of the Texas panhandle for these reasons:
First are my values and principles which are grounded in my faith and supported by hard work. They are not talking points; they are who I am, and I will unwaveringly stand on them because I believe they represent Texas’ hope for a better future.
Next is my work with Congressman Ronny Jackson. I attended hundreds of meetings with panhandle residents, hearing their issues, challenges and ideas, and also experienced the day-to-day workings of government and representation in Washington. I am the only candidate with this experience.
Finally, my career has given me real-world leadership experience. Excelling in one of the most rigorous training programs for complex negotiation and problem solving in the healthcare industry, I became the organization’s youngest leader, having to find solutions in challenging, high pressure situations. This experience will serve me well in Austin.
My primary goal as a State Representative is to know and understand the needs and concerns of my constituents. I have already met personally with hundreds of people across the 87th District and my primary responsibility is to work to enact policy and legislation which serves their best interests, as well as fight against actions which would affect them negatively. Besides the limitations outlined in the Texas Constitution, my most daunting limitation is a political system in Austin which too often prioritizes power over principle and metropolitan areas over rural areas.
