TX-21 deserves a Congresswoman who shows up — someone who answers the phone, holds town halls, and remains accessible, accountable, and transparent.
Enough with the politicians. Elect a brawler with a battleplan.
About Dr. Vanburg
I’m not a politician - I’m a public servant.
I am the daughter of an immigrant, and both of my parents are veterans. In my family, service was not optional. It was expected. When I was nine years old, we moved to the Hill Country, where I attended elementary, middle, and high school in Bandera. Texas 21 is not just where I live. It is where I grew up, learned responsibility, and built my values.
I double-majored in Government and History at the University of Texas at Austin, earned my Master’s in Counseling from St. Edward’s University, and completed my doctorate at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. I am a VA-trained trauma psychologist who has spent my career serving veterans and active-duty service members. My work has always centered on service, accountability, and contributing something meaningful to the people around me.
I began my career on the PTSD Clinical Team at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital and later served at the Kerrville outpatient clinic. Today, I work as a data analyst, tracking the well-being of recruits as they move through basic training, while also running a small business. I understand both public service and private-sector responsibility because I have lived both.
For me, public service has never been about titles — it’s about hard work, accountability, and showing up for my community. That’s the same dedication I’m bringing to this campaign, because our district deserves leadership that works as hard as the people who call it home.

I didn’t always think my vote counted in Bandera County. Now I’m running to make sure it does.
About Texas 21
Bandera, Bexar (partial), Blanco, Comal, Gillespie, Hays (partial), Kendall, Kerr, Real
We are the very heart of Texas.
Texas’s 21st Congressional District is powered by its people — educators, healthcare workers, public servants, builders, and small business owners. From the classrooms, where dedicated teachers do more with less, to the hospitals and clinics that care for our families, this district is where hard work meets heart.
Here, we swim in clear rivers, dance in old Hill Country dancehalls, and cruise backroads carved through limestone hills. This place teaches grit, resiliency, and pride — give more than you take, respect the land, and look out for your neighbor.
President Lyndon B. Johnson, the first Texan to lead the nation, was born right here in Texas’s 21st. His legacy of putting public service ahead of personal agenda still echoes in the spirit of this place — fairness, opportunity, and the understanding that government serves the people, not the other way around.
Now it’s our turn to carry that legacy forward. Let's send someone to Congress who will show up for us in times of crisis and fight to improve our lives and community.
Good government
Protects
Your Money, Your Water, and Your Vote
What I stand for
Progressive principles. Practical solutions. People, not politics.
Democracy
When they make it harder for people to vote, they are choosing who counts. I believe no one should fear their government. I believe in due process, in participation, and in a system that lifts people up instead of shutting them out. Because when democracy works, people thrive. When it doesn't, only the powerful win.
If we want accountable leaders, fair maps, and honest policy, we have to protect the vote first.
An everyone-economy
The purpose of your time here on earth is not to make someone else rich. If you work full time, you should be able to pay your bills, go to the doctor, and enjoy time off with your family and friends. The economy doesn’t just “happen” — it’s built by policy. And right now, it’s rigged -and not in our favor.
We need our dollars to go toward the people by taxing wealth instead of work.
people over profits
Texas isn’t broken — it’s being sabotaged. Our grid failed and people died. Our prisons are run for profit and land us on international human rights watch lists. Meanwhile, disaster capitalists are quietly buying up our land, our water, and even our utility capacity. Housing gets snapped up by investors and developers while families are priced out. Data centers demand massive power and land, and new transmission lines are pushed through Hill Country communities with little say from the people who live there.
Texas is for Texans. Period.
Join Our Campaign
This fight is for all of us — because TX-21 is all of us. I don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Independent, unaffiliated, disillusioned, or undecided — and neither does democracy. I’d be honored to have you join my campaign to fight for the future we all deserve.
