Keep Panhandle Water in the Panhandle
Holly will fight to keep Panhandle water here for our farmers, our ranchers, and our families, and away from Wall Street and hedge funds looking to drain the Panhandle dry.
Republican Nominee, Texas House District 86
A life of serving the Texas Panhandle.
Faith. Family. Panhandle values. Holly Jeffreys won't go to Austin chasing headlines. She'll roll up her sleeves and solve problems for HD 86.
Meet Holly Jeffreys
Panhandle raised, Panhandle proven.
Holly Jeffreys grew up in Amarillo and comes from a family of first responders and law enforcement. Her brother is a DEA agent fighting drug cartels, and Holly is a nurse practitioner who volunteers as an EMT.
She opened rural clinics in Panhandle, Boys Ranch, Bushland, and Claude, so families don't have to drive hours for healthcare. President Trump's SBA named Holly the Texas Panhandle Small Businessperson of the Year.
Holly served nine years as President of the Bushland ISD School Board, protecting kids long before it was trendy. Under her leadership, Bushland earned an A+ for keeping inappropriate materials out of libraries and DEI and critical race theory out of classrooms.
Today Holly leads the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at West Texas A&M University, training much of the area's healthcare workforce. Governor Greg Abbott appointed her to his Healthcare Workforce Task Force, and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick selected her for his Health Care Advisory Board.
Holly is a pastor's daughter who has attended Arden Road Baptist Church since she was five years old, leading youth choir and sponsoring Christian mission trips. She'll protect religious liberty and keep government from trampling on our faith.
Meet the Jeffreys
Rooted in faith, grounded in family.
Holly and her husband, Kelly, met at Arden Road Baptist Church after he moved to the Panhandle to attend WT. They have been married for 33 years and raised four children who now have families of their own. They still attend the church where Holly's father pastored for nearly four decades.
Holly's Plan for House District 86
Real conservative Panhandle values.
Parents Decide, Not Government
Holly believes parents, not Austin bureaucrats, should decide how to raise and educate their children.
Eliminate School Property Taxes
Holly will fight to eliminate school property taxes and immediately lower the property tax freeze age from 65 to 55, saving Panhandle homeowners thousands and ending the appraisal game for families 55 and older.
Secure the Border
Holly sees the border crisis every day: the strain on rural clinics and hospitals, and drugs flowing into our communities. She'll support President Trump and Governor Abbott's mission to secure the border and put Texas citizens first.
Back Law Enforcement and First Responders
Holly comes from a family of first responders and is endorsed by Panhandle sheriffs, the Amarillo Police Officers' Association, and CLEAT. She'll give them the resources they need to keep our families safe.
Protect Agriculture and Rural Industries
Holly will stand with our farmers and ranchers against regulations that threaten the industries that built the Panhandle.
Affordable, Accessible Healthcare
Holly built clinics from the ground up so Panhandle families don't have to drive hours for care. She'll fight to lower costs and expand access in rural Texas.
Protect Life
Holly will protect life from conception to natural death.
Stop Mandates That Ignore Rural Texas
Holly will push back on unfunded mandates from Washington and Austin that are written for big cities and ignore rural communities like ours.
Holly's Record of Service
A lifetime of building solutions.
Rural Clinics and Community Care
Holly built clinics in Panhandle, Boys Ranch, Bushland, and Claude, bringing dependable care to communities that had gone without it for years. She also opened a coffee shop in Bushland to meet local needs.
University Leadership
