About Kaden Lopez:
Kaden Lopez, Executive Director of Texas Family Project, has dedicated his life to fighting for families. As a California teen in high school, Kaden advocated for pro-family policies on social media where he amassed over 100,000 followers for his views. Living in California challenged Kaden to really figure out what he believed. Because of social media, Kaden was able to reach the masses to educate them about what was happening in public schools and warn people about the direction society was headed.
Kaden knew he wanted to dedicate his career to this movement. He moved to Texas where he worked on various political campaigns before joining TFP. Before he was officially on staff, Kaden helped TFP by attending drag shows and leftist political functions undercover in order to expose the corruption of these events to a larger audience.
Kaden is married and lives in the Fort Worth area. He enjoys watching football and spending time with his family.
