Shepard spends his workdays as a public defender in Waco, representing people who can't afford a lawyer when they're charged with a crime.
Casey Shepard is a Waco attorney who works as a criminal defense lawyer for indigent clients in McLennan County. He entered the crowded Democratic primary for Texas's 17th Congressional District, then won a runoff after his opponent dropped out and endorsed him. He says his top priorities are making sure people have enough food, healthcare, and stable housing, along with reining in what he calls executive-branch overreach.

Shepard backs expanding rental assistance and subsidies for building low-income housing, and ending tariffs on building materials that raise construction costs. [BallotReady]
