How CPS Led Me to Conservative Activism

Ashley was in and out of foster care until she was 12 years-old.  As she grew older, she decided to pay it forward and help vulnerable children in CPS.  She served as University of Houston’s College Republican President and as a Senator in Student Government Association.  After graduation, she worked with Blakemore and Associates, Ted Cruz’s Presidential Campaign and now Empower Texans.  She has been involved with CPS bills for the 85th Texas Legislative Session.
