I’m a mom, a wife, a lifelong South Texan, and a committed conservative.

My name is Kristin Luckey, and I am proud to call Harlingen, Texas, my lifelong home. My story, like many in the Rio Grande Valley, is one of resilience. Life has had its challenges, but each obstacle has only strengthened my determination to get back up and keep moving forward.

Raised in a blended family, I grew up surrounded by hard work and perseverance. My father and stepfather were farmers, and my mother, stepmother, and grandmothers were strong women who led by example in their communities. From them, I learned independence, service, and grit.

I graduated from Harlingen South High School and went on to earn certifications in social media management, public relations, and nonprofit education through UT, UTRGV, and LSU. Later, while raising three young children and working full-time, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Southern Careers Institute with a certification in Medical Coding and Billing, a reminder that with faith and determination, anything is possible.

Professionally, I have served with organizations such as AIM Media, the Marine Military Academy, and on both local and federal political campaigns. Just as important, I have always stayed rooted in my community, volunteering and supporting causes that strengthen families and opportunity here at home.

My greatest inspirations have always been my family. My grandmother started as a credit union teller in a closet-sized office and, through perseverance, became President of what is now Rio Grande Valley Credit Union. My mother followed the same path, serving as President of two different credit unions. Today, I carry their legacy of determination forward in my own work and family life.

I am blessed to be married to a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Zone Officer, who also served in the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division and as a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Together we raised a blended family of five, all now grown and beginning their own journeys.

I am a proud Texan, a Daughter of the Republic of Texas, and a lifelong resident of District 37. I understand the values, struggles, and hopes of our community because I have lived them.

Looking ahead, my goal is simple: to be a strong, conservative voice in Austin who truly represents District 37. I will listen, fight for our families, and ensure our community’s voice is heard loud and clear at the State Capitol.

District 37 deserves a leader who won’t back down.

I am ready to serve.
