Ellen Fleischmann is an attorney who clerked for a federal judge in the Northern District of Texas before moving into private-practice litigation and employment law.
She is the daughter of Tarrant County DA Phil Sorrels and granddaughter of former Congressman Kent Hance, and is running for the seat David Cook is vacating to run for state Senate.
Fleischmann’s take on Texas values
She campaigns on "protecting parental choice" in education (school-choice/voucher language) and opposing what she calls DEI mandates in schools, rather than prioritizing public-school funding increases. [Ballotpedia; campaign website]
