The first time she ever picked up a gun, in basic training, she missed earning the marksmanship ribbon by 2 points on the M-16, which still sticks in her craw.

She later ran a web consulting business with her husband for over a decade. Hope has been an active voter advocate for the last 16 years. In 2016 alone, she registering nearly 500 voters in two Texas counties. She also works as an Elections Judge. Trivia: Hope became an accidental long-distance runner at the age of 51 and once achieved 10 miles in 1 run. For fun. Go figure! External Event Url
