Political
Valoree is now serving her 3rd term in the Texas House of Representatives. She is a founding member of the conservative Texas Freedom Caucus, which was formed to fight for Republican and grassroots priorities in the Texas House.
She was first elected to represent House District 150 in 2016. Due to her many years of activism and election experience, Valoree was appointed to serve on the House Elections Committee for the 2017-2018 term. She was also appointed to serve at that time on the House Committee on Human Services, due to her experience fostering and adopting children.
She was re-elected in 2018. In the 2019-2020 term, she served on the House Committee on Elections once again. Given her experience and knowledge of low-income government housing law, she was appointed to serve on the Urban Affairs Committee which has oversight over Section 42 housing codes.
In her capacity as committee member, she was able to help pass several pieces of important legislation to further secure our elections and to kill bad legislation which would have reduced community input into the development of low-income housing.
Now, in her third term, Valoree is the Vice Chair of the Juvenile Justice and Family Issues Committee, which has oversight over family law and the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. She was the author of a major reform that helps rehabilitated youth more easily find jobs and stay off of welfare and out of criminal enterprise.
