Personal Background
Brittany Black is a North Texas business owner, senior software engineer, and community advocate running for Texas House District 61. Born in Dallas, she says she was raised in a family rooted in service — including farmers, teachers, military members, and union tradespeople — shaping her focus on fairness, responsibility, and results.
Why She’s Running
Black says families are facing rising costs, school instability, and infrastructure that is struggling to keep pace with rapid growth. She argues that too many decisions are made without meaningful community input and that District 61 needs leadership focused on practical solutions.
Professional & Community Experience
Black holds a master’s degree and says she has spent nearly two decades as a senior software engineer and technical leader working on complex systems across the public and private sectors, including projects tied to national defense and critical infrastructure.
She has volunteered as a tutor and mentor for middle school students, taught after-school programs, and supported women reentering the workforce through a domestic violence shelter.
Top Priorities If Elected
- Lowering everyday costs for families and small businesses
- Protecting and strengthening public education
- Investing in reliable infrastructure that matches growth
- Improving access to healthcare and essential services
- Restoring transparency and accountability in state government
“District 61 deserves leadership that listens, tells the truth, and delivers results as the region continues to grow.”
