“Trent Ashby is a proven conservative who has served East and Southeast Texas communities in the Texas House of Representatives for over a decade,” TLR President Lee Parsley said on behalf of TLRPAC. “Trent is someone who understands the importance of maintaining a fair, efficient and transparent legal system – for the ultimate benefit of Texas taxpayers and their families, and so that Texas’s economy continues to flourish. TLRPAC is proud to support him.”
Ashby was recognized by his colleagues in the Republican Caucus as the “Freshman of the Year” at the completion of his first Texas legislative session and was selected after his second session as the “Most Valuable Sophomore in the Texas House” by Capitol Inside.
