Representative Lauren Ashley Simmons represents the people of Texas House District 146, which covers parts of Harris County including areas of Houston. When neighbors in our community need state-level help or have concerns about Texas laws, she's the person who speaks for our district in Austin.
Simmons works from two offices to stay connected with people here. Her district office sits at 7901 El Rio Street in Houston, where residents can meet with her staff about local issues. Her Capitol office in Austin is where she votes on bills and works with other representatives on state policy.
As our state representative, Simmons makes decisions that shape daily life in our neighborhoods. She authors and sponsors bills that could become Texas law. She also serves on legislative committees that review proposed changes to everything from education funding to healthcare access to transportation projects.
District 146 includes parts of Harris County, covering specific ZIP codes, school districts, and voting precincts that make up our local community. The Texas Legislature provides detailed maps and population data that show exactly which neighborhoods fall within her district boundaries.
