Mary Jennings Hegar (née von Stein; born March 16, 1976) is an American politician, United States Air Force veteran, and teacher. In 2012 she sued the U.S. Air Force to remove the Combat Exclusion Policy. In 2017, she published the memoir Shoot Like a Girl, which describes her service in Afghanistan.
She was run against John Carter for TX-31 in 2016. John Carter won, but it was a close 50.6%/47.6% — too close in my opinion, but it was a tough year for Republicans. She was groomed as that ideal candidate to peel off suburban women — combat veteran, trendsetter, and of course a self-proclaimed representative who wouldn’t vote in lockstep with Pelosi (LIE).
She almost won in 2016 and I think she is the prototype for how the Democrats are going to try to flip races. For some reason, that combination of women’s rights, “for the children”, veteran, self-proclaimed “independent” democrat is like the pied piper to suburban women.
Idiots don’t understand that combat isn’t for women, no matter how they shoot!
Must be a highschool picture of her. Current pictures she looks hard as nails, mean looking.
