Congresswoman Fletcher continues to deliver for the Houston-area, and I look forward to continuing to work with her on behalf of this community.”
“In Texas, where almost 5 million people lack health insurance, we need leaders working to bring real solutions to the problems we face.

In addition to these State Representatives, Congresswoman Fletcher has earned the endorsements of Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Fort Bend County Judge KP George, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, Harris County Commissioners Rodney Ellis and Adrian Garcia, Fort Bend County Commissioner Grady Prestage, EMILY’s List, Bold PAC, the Latino Labor Leadership Council, and other organizations for her 2022 re-election campaign, demonstrating the breadth of support for Congresswoman Fletcher and the continued diversity of the coalition she has built since her first campaign in 2018.
A second-term Member of Congress, Fletcher was first elected to represent Texas’ Seventh Congressional District in 2018 after a decisive victory over nine-term Republican incumbent John Culberson, becoming the first Democrat in more than 50 years and the first woman ever to represent TX-07. In 2020, she was re-elected over one of the National Republican Congressional Committee’s best-funded challengers. As of September 30, 2021, she had raised more than $2 million toward her re-election and has nearly $1.8 million cash on hand for her campaign.
