A soldier, an MBA, and a working mom — now running for one of the toughest, reddest seats in Central Texas.
Rourk served in the Army and National Guard, earned a business degree from UT, and worked on policy in Washington. She's the Democratic candidate for this open seat after its longtime Republican congressman, Michael McCaul, retired. The district stretches from Houston's suburbs all the way to north Austin.
Rourk’s take on Texas values
Cost of living is the heart of Rourk's campaign — she wants corporations to pay their fair share and working families to catch a break on rising prices.
