Katy Padilla Stout used to teach elementary school before becoming an attorney who represents kids in the foster care system.
A San Antonio native and mother of four, Padilla Stout worked in national Democratic fundraising for Henry Muñoz, a former DNC finance chair, before turning to law and child advocacy. She entered the TX-23 race after Republican incumbent Tony Gonzales dropped out, and is running on affordability, healthcare access, and education, including universal pre-K.
Stout’s take on Texas values
Padilla Stout supports restoring and expanding the Voting Rights Act, same-day and online voter registration, expanded mail-in voting, and a federal Election Day holiday — all steps to make voting easier, matching the pro-access position in these statements.
