State Representative Shawn Thierry faces fierce opposition in her runoff election after voting in favor of controversial legislation, drawing condemnation from her own party and prompting vocal support from local pastors as she defends her stance in the race.
Four-term State Representative Shawn Thierry is ferociously fighting to keep her job - a battle for political survival triggered by a single vote of conscience on the floor of the Texas House."I absolutely believe we should raise the age to 18 for children to receive GNRH analogues, cross-sex hormones and to undergo potentially irreversible body altering surgeries," said Thierry in May of 2023 before joining Republicans in passing the legislation.
Those that are in favor of this child mutilation were told to call me and tell me repeatedly and tell me they hoped my daughter, who is 11-years-old, wakes up an orphan," said Thierry.With the Democratic run-off election 21 days away, Thierry has drawn outspoken support from dozens of area pastors."We need her because she's stood in the gap," said Reverend Max Miller.
