Cheryl Bean

“Texas is suffering under a broken border. Drugs and human traffickers are pouring into our state.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))

“As a member on the board of a charter school, and as a parent and grandparent myself, I believe strongly in educational freedom and giving parents the power to decide what school is best for their children. Opportunity for a quality education should not be exclusive.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2024))

“I'm a self-made Texan, and I've never fit neatly into anyone's box. From Fortune 50 to local business, government contracts to small budgets, I've been there. I started out living in a trailer, and through hard work and a lot of faith, I raised my family as a single mom and built a good life for them - and a successful home-building company along the way.” (Campaign website (cherylbeanfortexas.com))

“Lower costs for groceries, childcare and healthcare. Fully fund our public schools, not voucher scams.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 8, 2026))

“Greed and corruption are at the root of our biggest challenges. Affordability is a major one I hear in our district: gas, food, healthcare and childcare costs are rising, while wages aren't. Education is another: our next generation, our teachers and our future workforce suffer from inadequate public school funding.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 8, 2026))

“Strengthen infrastructure, like our power grid, clean water and air. Have stronger safety and transparency requirements for AI data centers.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 8, 2026))
