Chris Russell is Running for Open District-12 Senate Seat

Chris Russell is the owner of a security and fire alarm company, and the president of one of the oldest Internet Service Providers in Texas. Russell is running for the open District-12 Senate seat currently held by Jane Nelson.

“We are fortunate to have the ‘Iron-Lady’ in Texas politics represent us,” said Russell. “It is my goal to serve with the same distinction, work ethic and values she has brought to the job.”

Russell has represented citizens in city halls across Texas and in the legislature. For 20 years, his peers selected him to help draft and negotiate responsible ordinances and state code that is fair to industries and consumers.

“There are two parts to be an effective representative,” said Russell, “You must listen to those you represent and dig into the deep details that no one reads about. That is the hard work District-12 will be asking me to do. I am willing and capable for the task. I am in tune with hard-working Texans. As a constitutional conservative that has never before run for public office, my worldview is genuine. I am a diplomat and straightforward. It’s time to bring family, friends and neighbors back together. We can do this with open, honest and dignified communication that doesn’t have to be divisive in the process.”
