Rochelle's LBJ Campaign School Journey

Friends, Family and Supporters,

I am excited to share that I have been accepted into the 6th cohort of the LBJ Women’s Campaign School at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. This program is a non-partisan program that supports women who want to be more involved in politics through training, mentorship, and networking for those who are planning to run for office or manage a political campaign.

As a dedicated public servant for over 30 years in municipal government and higher education, this opportunity will assist me in becoming even more involved with my local government and council members by working to create a more unified community. I will use the lessons learned through this program to influence decisions and policies as it relates to children’s literacy, diversity, affordable housing, and issues affecting the elderly.

Thanks to a scholarship from Texas Woman’s University my tuition cost is covered. However, I am fundraising an amount of $1,200 to assist with the costs of lodging, travel, and meals and incidentals during my time in Austin in May as I meet face-to-face with the other members of the cohort to begin our journey.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support. Any amount given will be greatly appreciated. Should you wish to speak with me further about this opportunity or to donate directly, please do not hesitate to reach out.

With gratitude,

Rochelle
