Pizza & Politics - Rep. Villalobos and Rep. Fairly

Join us on April 15th at 4:00 PM for Pizza & Politics featuring a candid conversation with Rep. Denise Villalobos and Rep. Caroline Fairly. As an oil and gas project manager, Denise has enhanced reliability programs for refineries across the country, revitalized culture amongst her teams, and as a board member on two national S.T.E.M. organizations, she has inspired students at all academic levels to pursue S.T.E.M. careers. Before her time in the legislature, Denise served on the Tuloso-Midway school board with an emphasis to prioritize student safety, empower parents and teachers in the classroom, and to make sure that the children of today have the same opportunities she had to excel and find quality, good paying jobs in the Coastal Bend. Currently, Caroline works as a medical negotiator at The OccuNet Company, where she helps make healthcare more affordable for Texas families. She also trains professionals in negotiation, a skill she believes will be valuable in future public service.Caroline is actively involved in her community, volunteering with local organizations such as the Hope Choice Pregnancy Center and Mentoring Programs, and mentoring students at West Texas A&M University. With a strong belief in the importance of faith, family, and community, Caroline is dedicated to contributing to the well-being of the Texas Panhandle and advocating for its future. Fairly is serving on the House committees on Appropriations, Natural Resources, and Local and Consent Calendars and has introduced legislation on issues regarding water, wildfire response, responsible use of technology and other key issues.
