Meet Representative Isaac
State Representative Carrie Isaac is a fourth-generation Texan, nonprofit leader, wife, and mother who will give our values a powerful voice in the Texas Capitol. She and her husband just celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary and reside in Hays County with their two teenage sons and their dog Daisy.
Representative Isaac has a heart for service to Central Texas, where she has lived in Hays County for 17 years. One of her core beliefs is that nonprofits and churches serve those in need more effectively than government. She currently serves as the Executive Director of DEWIT, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to veterans. Representative Isaac is the daughter of an Air Force veteran, her father instilled in her the desire to give back to those who sacrificed for our freedoms.
After serving in the Air Force, her dad worked for nearly 40 years as a stainless steel worker and welder in an un-air-conditioned shop to provide for his family. Watching his work ethic for her family taught her the importance of liberty and limited government with a low tax burden so that families can keep more of their hard-earned money. She will work every day to keep the government out of our way and preserve the freedom that makes Texas the greatest state in our nation.
When the coronavirus hit, nursing homes in the Hill Country were having a hard time getting supplies to keep their residents safe. So Representative Isaac got to work immediately calling around to nursing homes in the area and creating a database of their specific needs so she could keep track of who needed what. She began collecting donations from social media and got in touch with local philanthropists, who generously donated the funds needed to buy personal protective equipment to keep our community safe. She was able to donate masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, adult diapers, and paper towels to nursing homes serving over 5,000 senior citizens in Hays and Blanco counties as well as first responders, women’s shelters, food banks, and ten school campuses serving food to over 5,000 students a day. Because of her organization, decisiveness, and willingness to drop everything to help meet a need means tens of thousands of our friends and neighbors are safe and healthy today.
Representative Isaac’s masters degree in health education has served her community well advancing health and wellness in her community. She served on her local Helping Hands food pantry board for over a decade feeding over 100 hungry families a week, and she served on the board of the nonprofit IT’S TIME TEXAS whose motto is, “Texas is best when Texas is healthy.” She led Dripping Springs to win first place competing with other communities across the great State of Texas in the IT’S TIME TEXAS Community Challenge as the Chair of the Dripping Springs Mayor’s Health and Wellness Council. Additionally, she received recognition for her volunteer work at her boys’ schools over the years. She is one of three founding members of the Dripping Springs youth lacrosse program to pass on lifelong skills and well-being in our next generation of leaders. She and her husband recently hosted their ninth annual Fire In the Sky Independence Day celebration giving proceeds back to EMS, firefighters, and veterans in her community.
Our community needs a representative with mental toughness and endurance to fight for our freedoms and values. Representative completed a full-length 140.6-mile IRONMAN. She has the strength and endurance to stay tough and stand strong in the face of opposition in the Texas Capitol. No one will outwork her.
