Ellen Troxclair is an American small business owner and politician who is a member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 19. A member of the Republican Party, Troxclair was the youngest woman ever elected to the Austin City Council,[2] where she served the 8th district from 2015 to 2019.[3]
Political Career
Troxclair initially ran for the Texas Senate to replace Dawn Buckingham. However, she was drawn out of the district and Pete Flores was endorsed by Buckingham,[4] which led her to run for Texas's 19th House of Representatives district instead. She defeated Justin Berry by 13% in the primary. Troxclair went on to face Democrat Pam Baggett and independent Kodi Sawin in the general election and won decisively with 72.6% of all votes cast.[5]
Troxclair supports a ban on Democrats being given committee chairmanships as long as the Republicans hold the majority of seats in the Texas House.[6]
