Melissa Beckett announces candidacy for Texas House District 7

LONGVIEW — According to our news partner KETK, Melissa Beckett announced on Thursday that she will enter the republican primary race to represent Texas House District 7 which oversees Gregg, Harrison and Marion counties. Beckett is a current Gregg County resident with a background in commodity trading and data analysis giving her some experience in recognizing patterns. She is also the founder of Texas Education 911 which advocates for parents whose children have been harmed in tax payer schools and help the families reach justice, according to texased911,com.

“I’m an everyday Texan, not a politician, but I feel compelled to run because we the
families of East Texas, have been forgotten,” Beckett said. “We deserve to have a representative in Austin that puts us first. That’s why I’m running.”
