This month at True Texas Project we are hosting one of the few elected officials who consistently advocates for the taxpayer in whatever capacity he can. Chris Woolsey serves on the Corsicana City Council, and is here to share with us what he has learned from his time in office, as well as working as a commercial real estate advisor and property tax consultant. Chris was the only vote against a massive tax increase in his first year on council, and the only vote against forcing businesses to close in the early days of COVID. He also proposed a “Sanctuary City for the Unborn” measure and nullifying federal vaccine mandates affecting city employees and contractors. We can’t wait to hear what insight he might share regarding eliminating property taxes, appraisal reform, and ending taxpayer funded lobbying.
PLUS we are honored to be able to host one of the Texas grassroots’ favorite representatives, Louie Gohmert! Louie is a public servant in every sense and constantly advocates for conservative and constitutional values. He is joining us as we “re-launch” our Dallas county location in a new venue.

About Louie Gohmert:
Serving his ninth term in the United States House of Representatives, Congressman Louie Gohmert was first sworn in January 4, 2005. He proudly represents the First District of Texas which encompasses over 12 counties stretching nearly 120 miles down the state’s eastern border.
A favorite among Tea Party groups, Louie speaks often as a fellow Tea Party advocate across Texas and the United States. He boldly stands on America’s founding principles and is constantly coming up with big, innovative ideas solidly based on Constitutional fundamentals.
Congressman Gohmert serves on the House Judiciary Committee playing a vital role on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee, as well as, the Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee. He is also a member of the House Natural Resources Committee serving on the National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands Subcommittee and is honored to have the title of Republican Leader on the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Prior to being elected to serve in Congress, Louie was elected to three terms as District Judge in Smith County, Texas. During his tenure on the bench, he gained national and international attention for some of his creative rulings. He was later appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry to complete a term as Chief Justice of the 12th Court of Appeals.
Louie received his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and later graduated from Baylor School of Law. He is also a veteran having served his country as Captain in the U.S. Army.
Today, he and his wife Kathy are the proud parents of three daughters. Their family attends Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, where Louie has served as a deacon and Sunday school teacher. He frequently travels to churches throughout the First District of Texas and preaches to their congregations.
