Featured Candidate - Stefani Carter
Stefani Carter is one of us. Born in House District 102, Stefani came from a little house on Bernardin Circle in Dallas and has been doing great things for our community her entire life. But things were not always easy. Her parents let her know at an early age that if she wanted to go to college, then she’d need to work to pay for it.
And work she did. Tenaciously. Stefani saved money and studied hard, earning a full scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin. Then Stefani Carter, the local girl who had been challenged to make her own waves, earned the chance of a lifetime - to attend Harvard Law School.
Harvard Law was a challenge, in particular because Stefani was one of the very few conservatives and as you might imagine, her views on politics didn’t always match up with her professors and fellow students. Her time there made her stronger and happier than ever to be from Dallas. Stefani truly believes Texas is the greatest place on Earth.
Stefani Carter loves our community and as your next State Representative, she’ll work hard to protect our quality of life.
After law school, Stefani Carter returned home and took a job as an assistant district attorney. She prosecuted criminals and made sure that they were punished to the full extent of the law. While not necessarily a great way to earn “the big bucks,” being a prosecutor was one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.
If you meet Stefani in person ask her about the woman she helped who’d been repeatedly and brutally abused by her husband. Somehow the guy had always avoided prosecution. That was until Stefani met the woman, immediately realized the extent of the abuse, and then fought the case tooth and nail to get the abusive husband off of our streets. In the end, her hard work paid off and the abuser went to jail.
Stefani has no sympathy for criminals who strike fear into the hearts of the law abiding. Rest assured, having Stefani in the Legislature will help keep our community safe.
