Genevieve Collins (TX-32)

Candidate Genevieve Collins is an experienced businesswoman that will bring innovation to public policy if elected to represent Texas’s 32nd Congressional District. While Collins has spent her career innovating the classroom so all Texas students can succeed, she is committed to supporting policies that bring that same innovative approach to health care and expand economic opportunity.
