"It's really, really exciting for me to feel like I'm making a difference one person at a time," says State Sen. Julie Raque Adams (R-36) of her favorite part of serving in public office.

Her priorities for the upcoming legislative session include mental health issues, especially for young and elderly people who are struggling. 

Which official would Raque Adams have lunch with if given the chance? "Elaine Chao, she's had an extraordinary career and I want to hear more about the ins and outs of that."
