Featuring
Senator Lois Kolkhorst
Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst is a fifth generation Texan, with ancestral roots dating back to the Texas War of Independence. Married to her high school sweetheart Jim, she is a dedicated mother and small business owner. Born and raised in Senate District 18, she attended public schools before graduating from Texas Christian University, where she was a four-year letter winner on the Lady Frog golf team.
Growing up in the small town of Brenham, Kolkhorst was taught strong family values and the importance of hard work at an early age. Her father served in the Navy during World War II and afterwards, became a dentist and raised cattle. One of her favorite childhood memories is of her time working cattle and hunting on the family farm, which is still owned by her family today.
A recipient of the Legislator of the Year Award from the Sheriffs Association of Texas, Senator Kolkhorst is a vocal supporter for peace officers and first responders. Along with helping to secure over $6 billion for border security, Senator Kolkhorst has worked with local law enforcement to shut down criminal smuggling networks and develop sensible solutions to the mental health crisis that crowds our jails.
She has received accolades for her work from the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers, Texas Farm Bureau, Texas Wildlife Association, the NRA, CASA, the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Hospital Association, the Texas Nurses Association, and the Texas DPS Officer Association, among many others.
Senator Kolkhorst and her husband are blessed with two children, Lois Kate and Jake. A frequent volunteer at her church, Senator Kolkhorst also enjoys hobbies such as hunting, fishing, and gardening.
Event Details
Our May 15th gathering will be a fundraiser event honoring our 2024 scholarship recipients. Building on the success of our event last year we will again enjoy an evening themed: “Branching Out – A Celebration of Mentorships.”
Attendees will enjoy wonderful presentations by our Scholarship recipients and our slated Guest Speaker, Senator Lois Kolkhorst. During the evening there will be guided conversation topics, an “Experiences” Silent Auction and other special surprises giveaways.
We encourage you to “branch out” to a significant friend and have them join us for a wonderful evening of positive and inspirational messaging. Invite someone who was your mentor so we may recognize and celebrate their contributions. Or more purposefully, could you invite someone with whom you would like to share our Conservative message? Our target audience for this event is young citizens, new voters, young stakeholders in the future of our community, our state, and our nation.
