Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst is a sixth-generation Texan with ancestral roots dating back to the Texas War of Independence. Born and raised in Senate District 18, she attended public schools before graduating from Texas Christian University, where she was an Academic All-American and a four-year letter winner with the Lady Frogs golf team. In 2014, after serving seven successful terms in the Texas House, she was elected to the Texas Senate in a special election, becoming only the 17th female to have served in the Texas Senate since 1845. Senator Kolkhorst serves almost a million constituents in 18 counties in her district, from parts of Montgomery, Harris, and Fort Bend counties through south central Texas, all the way to the coast, including Rockport/Fulton in Aransas County.
