Dr. Sekula-Gibbs is currently serving her third term as an At Large member of the Houston City council where she helped pass a much needed property tax roll back and assisted in securing $20 million in federal funds to train and hire more police for our area. As a strong proponent for regional Homeland Security, Shelley helped found the Ellington Field Task Force, which not only kept Ellington Field open but also expanded its mission by becoming a Joint Reserve Base. As an advocate for Johnson Space Center/NASA, Shelley works with local business leaders to ensure that Congress supports programs like the Crew Exploration Vehicle and the President's vision of returning to the moon and on to Mars. Shelley was a leader in bringing railroads, industry, and communities together to prevent the construction of the San Jacinto rail in Southeast Harris County that would have devastated property values and endangered thousands of nearby families. Moreover, she helped secure reduced rail transportation rates for captive petrochemical shippers. Understanding the need for economic development in the region, Shelley has worked with numerous municipalities and organizations to bring businesses and jobs to our area while improving transportation and air quality.

Shelley Sekula-Gibbs is a conservative Republican with a strong record of leadership, reform, and integrity. She is a successful businesswoman, wife, and mother who will well represent the citizens of Congressional District 22 while guarding the principles that are key to being a Republican and a patriotic American.
