Shannon Dicely went back to college to finish a political science degree nearly twenty years after her first degree — a decision she made while recovering from breast cancer treatment during the pandemic.
Dicely is a mother who spent years as a stay-at-home parent and public-school volunteer in the Houston Bay Area before her 2020 cancer diagnosis pushed her toward community organizing and voter-rights advocacy. She won the Democratic primary for Senate District 11 with 75% of the vote and is now running on affordability, public schools, and healthcare access.
Dicely’s take on Texas values
Dicely says Texas voting laws focus on voter fraud that 'rarely occurs' and wants to roll back the 2021 mail-ballot ID law, modernize registration, expand mail-in voting, and fight gerrymandering — agreeing with these statements' framing that such laws make voting harder without solving a real problem.
