Born and raised in a Conservative Christian home in Pearland, TX- and with a love for animals- Rachel Redus graduated from Sam Houston State University with a B.S. in Animal Science and a minor in Agricultural Business. Having a long-time interest in politics, an opportunity was presented to Rachel shortly before graduation in 2018, so her career path took an unexpected turn into the political arena. Currently, Rachel works full time for the Ted Cruz for Senate Campaign performing campaign operations and grassroots networking. She also serves as the Get Out the Vote chair on the board of the Greater Houston Council of Federated Republican Women, and as the Legislative chair on the board of the Tri County Republican Women. Outside of work, and ever since she can remember, Rachel enjoys fishing on the Gulf Coat with her family. From artificially inseminating trophy white tail deer and performing feeding research on ruminants, to aiding in the birth of a donkey foal just minutes before a professional interview, Rachel always embraces new challenges - especially those that are out of the average person’s comfort zone.
