A lifelong Texan, Joanna Cattanach was born in Fort Worth, went to school in Waco, and became a full-time reporter in Dallas. Joanna is an active and passionate resident of her district: she advocates for the community as an active member of civic groups like the Geneva Heights PTA, North Dallas Chamber of Commerce, and Texas Democratic Women. At three years old, Joanna and her brother were placed into the state’s foster care system. She knows first-hand the challenges faced by the most vulnerable children in the community. Especially as a journalist, Joanna knows that perspectives matter. And as the daughter of a welder with an eighth-grade education and as someone who has faced both success and hardship, Joanna will bring an important perspective to her role as State Representative.

Priorities:

Expand access to high-quality health care; protect women’s reproductive care; invest in public schools and educators; implement commonsense gun safety legislation.
