Expand all | Collapse all

Carrie Isaac is a fourth-generation Texan, nonprofit leader, wife, and mother.

Carrie has a heart for service to Central Texas. One of her core beliefs is that nonprofits and churches serve those in need more effectively than government. Carrie currently serves as the Executive Director of DEWIT, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to veterans. Carrie is the daughter of an Air Force veteran, her father instilled in her the desire to give back to those who sacrificed for our freedoms.

Watching her fathers work in an unair-conditioned shop for her family taught her the importance of liberty and limited government with a low tax burden so that families can keep more of their hard-earned money. She will work every day to keep the government out of our way and preserve the freedom that makes Texas the greatest state in our nation.

Carrie’s masters degree in health education has served her community well advancing health and wellness in her community. She served on her local Helping Hands food pantry board for over a decade feeding over 100 hungry families a week, and she served on the board of the nonprofit IT’S TIME TEXAS whose motto is, “Texas is best when Texas is healthy.”

She and her husband recently hosted their ninth annual Fire In the Sky Independence Day celebration giving proceeds back to EMS, firefighters, and veterans in her community.

Carrie completed an 140.6 mile IRONMAN race. No one will outwork her!

  • Carie will work to secure the border and keep communities safe by building a wall and stopping magnet policies that encourage illegal immigration, supporting law enforcement and stop the "defund the police” movement, and implementing reforms to ensure a reliable electric grid.
  • Soaring property taxes are out of control and have created a burden on working families, small businesses, and seniors. Carrie will fight to reform our property tax system and cut taxes — not just keep them from rising any higher. She will start by eliminating the school maintenance and operations property taxes.
  • Carrie will uphold American values by preserving the Second Amendment, ensuring election integrity, standing up to Big Tech censorship of conservatives, and fighting for religious freedom.

Property tax reform, fighting Biden’s socialist agenda, and education freedom. Carrie will work to reform property taxes and put an end to the Biden administration’s federal government overreach. She will also work to stop “critical race theory” and liberal indoctrination in our schools.

Expand all | Collapse all

Carrie Isaac is a fourth-generation Texan, daughter of an Air Force veteran, nonprofit leader, wife, and mother running for State Representative for House District 45.

Carrie has a heart for service to Central Texas, where she has lived in Hays County for over 15 years. Carrie currently serves as the Executive Director of a nonprofit that connects underemployed individuals with digital jobs. Recently, Carrie helped coordinate the distribution of personal protective equipment to nursing homes that serve over 5,000 senior citizens and well as 10 local schools so they could serve meals to over 5,000 students.

  • The #1 issue I hear from voters is property taxes. People are struggling to pay their property taxes and tired of feeling like they're renting their home from the government. As your next state representative I'll advocate for a stricter spending cap at the state level and use excess revenue to buy down the school maintenance and operation tax. This could eliminate 40-50% of our property taxes in 11 years! This plan would make our taxes would go down every year and end the Robin Hood recapture program that steals funding from every school district in HD45. Meanwhile, my opponent voted nine times to raise taxes and fees, voted against reducing property taxes, supports a state income tax, and voted against the Texas Taxpayer Transparency Act.
  • Voters in our community are deeply concerned about keeping our communities safe. While my opponent wants to defund border security, voted against efforts to protect girls and boys from human trafficking, and even voted against a school safety bill that would protect our kids in the classroom, I support the rule of law. I'm committed to fully funding local law enforcement, instituting mandatory jail time for human and sex trafficking, and increasing border security technology to keep drugs, cartels, and international gangs out of our schools and community.
  • To improve our public education system, I plan to reduce emphasis on standardized testing and will work to increase teacher pay and merit-based pay for teachers to reward and attract the best educators for our next generation of leaders.

My masters degree in health education has served our community well advancing health and wellness in Dripping Springs. I served on the Dripping Springs Helping Hands board for over a decade feeding over 100 hungry families a week. I am currently on the board of the nonprofit IT'S TIME TEXAS, whose motto is, "Texas is best when Texas is healthy." I led Dripping Springs to win first place competing with other communities across the great State of Texas in the IT'S TIME TEXAS Community Challenge as the Chair of the Dripping Springs Mayor's Health and Wellness Council.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
