Today, Kendra Yarbrough Camerena filed for House District 138. Her campaign released the following statement: Kendra’s experience as an educator, parent, and concerned citizen has prepared her to bring balanced leadership back to Austin. “It’s time for legislators to put aside partisan politics and get to work addressing the concerns and challenges of everyday Texans,” Yarbrough Camarena said. “I tell my students all the time that they must listen carefully to understand a problem, Yarbrough Camarena continued. “As I’ve met with voters, I’ve listened and heard their frustration with business as usual in Austin. As a State Representative, I’ll keep listening and I’ll stand up for the neighborhoods where we work and raise our families.”
Kendra Yarbrough Camarena is a life long resident of District 138 and is the daughter of former State Representative, the Honorable Ken Yarbrough. For the past seven years, Kendra has taught at Scarborough High School and Clifton Middle School in the Oak Forest area where Kendra grew up, and where she and her husband, Carlos, are raising their two children.
I had the great opportunity of meeting Kendra last night at a fundraising event at The Belmont. She is going to do an incredible job knocking on doors and connecting with voters one-on-one. She is young, energetic, a mother of two, a teacher -- and all of that keeps her grounded. She's someone who is running for office because she truly believes there is a duty, as a public servant, to improve the lives of the friends and neighbors around her. Needless to say, she was very impressive, and will be a formiddable opponent for corrupt Republican Dwayne Bohac. Bohac, remember, has a lot of scandals and corruption to answer for. From the Lone Star Project: This will be one of the key races for Texas House Democrats in 2010. We will be writing much, much more on this race and in the coming months.
