Supporters

I am so heartened by the great supporters who have stepped forward to encourage my run. I am pleased to share some of their words with you.

Supporter Elrita Rogers

Having known her growing up in the community, Kathleen has made a true impact, and you can really see the results in the entire district. I believe that she would represent us so well in Washington. She is a fighter. She possesses the capability to work hard to fight for issues that President Obama has advanced in his agenda. She is a true go-getter, yet a respectful young lady to her elders and contemporaries.

Kathleen Hicks has a proven record of public service as an advocate for urban development, public arts, affordable housing, transportation, and education. She has asked tough questions that forced our government to think. She stood up for the interest of those who long ago lost a voice in Fort Worth government. Kathleen is fair in her decision-making but an unwavering Democrat. She has continuously stood against unsafe hydraulic fracturing practices and predatory lending, distancing herself from lobbyist and special interest. She stood with minorities to fight for fair apportionment in during City of Fort Worth redistricting. She has never been afraid to stand alone on Fort Worth City Council as a single vote against items detrimental to the citizens of Fort Worth. I would be proud to see the leadership Kathleen Hicks has proven in the City of Fort Worth represent my community in D.C.

Supporter Tolli Thomas

I am proud to support Councilmember Kathleen Hicks in her bid to be our next Congresswoman. Kathleen Hicks has earned my respect many times over through her relentless dedication to neighborhoods. Kathleen Hicks consistently demonstrates respect for her constituents and the democratic process, through thoughtful policy making and by listening to and valuing citizens’ varying concerns and perspectives. Kathleen Hicks has proven to be someone I can trust to represent voters over special interests. Though I will miss having her on the Fort Worth City Council, I believe that quality representatives, such as Kathleen Hicks, who put the people first, are needed at the Congressional level.

I have followed Kathleen’s career since she has been on the Fort Worth City Council. I applaud her for being the only council member to vote against closing our pools! Kathleen cares about minority issues and neighborhoods. I wholeheartedly support Kathleen Hicks for Congress!
