Unstoppable: Salon Owner Turned Politician Shakes Up State House

  • Posted byby

Texas salon owner Shelley Luther has emerged victorious in the recent state House elections, defeating her Democratic opponent with an impressive 78% of the votes. Her win is a testament to her bravery and determination in fighting against oppressive COVID-19 mandates that threatened her business and livelihood.

During an interview on Fox & Friends, Luther revealed that she was not previously involved in politics until she was forced to shut down her hair salon, Salon A La Mode, for one month due to lockdown orders. However, seeing her stylists struggling to support their families, she made the bold decision to reopen her business and was subsequently thrown in jail.

“I can’t feed my kids. I don’t know what to do,” Luther recalled her employees telling her. This desperate plea, along with the frustrating injustice of seeing a nearby dog grooming business allowed to operate while she couldn’t, pushed Luther to take a stand and defy the lockdown orders. Her mugshot, with two inches of roots showing, became a symbol of the nonsensical restrictions placed on small businesses.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy remarked that Luther’s story highlighted how COVID-19 has become a deciding factor in the recent elections. “It’s amazing,” she said, “a dog could get groomed but not a woman.” This statement resonated with many viewers, reflecting the unjustness and double standards of the pandemic restrictions.

Luther’s victory is not her first foray into politics. She ran for the same District 62 seat in 2022 but was unsuccessful. Undeterred, she also ran for state Senate in 2020, showing her determination to effect change and fight for her community.

During the interview, Luther also shared a personal struggle she faced, having suffered from a brain aneurysm that left her hospitalized for almost a month. But even in the face of adversity, she remains unwavering in her resolve to fix the “silliness” in the Texas legislature and bring about positive change for her constituents.

Overall, Shelley Luther’s story is one of courage, resilience, and determination.

Her election win is a victory not just for her, but for all small business owners and individuals fighting against unnecessary and oppressive restrictions. It serves as a reminder that, with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
