Schools of excellence

Smart and independent, Linda Harper Brown puts the needs of Irving schoolchildren ahead of party politics. Working closely with Republicans, Democrats and Independents, Linda helped raise education standards and provided more funds that go directly to our classrooms where our students and teachers benefit most.

Leading for teachers & parents

A former School Board Trustee, Linda has worked with our dedicated teachers at the ground level to achieve academic excellence. Now, as our State Representative, she’s led efforts in Austin to increase salaries for our best educators, improve our state¹s teacher retirement fund and maintain local control of our schools.

Making college a reality

After working two and three jobs to put her own kids through college, Linda Harper Brown understands firsthand how rising tuition costs are hurting low and middle-income families. So Linda is looking into new ways to make college more affordable including tuition regulation and closer scrutiny of how universities spend public funds.

Protecting taxpayers

When Texas homeowners were paying record-high school property taxes, Linda said "enough is enough." Smart and independent, she took on the special interests in Austin and found responsible ways to cut government waste to free up new funds for education, resulting in the largest property tax cut in Texas history.

Safer communities

With a no-nonsense approach, Linda Harper Brown supports the toughest penalties possible for violent criminals and drug dealers who target our children. And, Linda is working with law enforcement for more forceful ways to crack down on growing gang violence.

Promoting open government

To keep legislators from using anonymous voice votes to hide their actions from their constituents back home, Linda helped pass a bill that required every vote in the Texas House to be officially recorded and made public.

Securing our borders

Linda is pushing for tougher laws to stop illegal immigration and better secure our borders, including legislation that will allow local law enforcement to arrest illegal aliens and assist with their deportation.

Reducing energy costs

To develop cheaper and more reliable new technology to help reduce the cost of gasoline and electricity, Linda is promoting more research and cooperation between our state government, state universities, and the private sector.
