John Lira
Texas' 23rd Congressional District
AmeriCorps
U.S. Marine Corps
John Lira ran for election to the U.S. House to represent Texas' 23rd Congressional District. Lira is a Mexican-American who has proudly served our country not only overseas in combat as a U.S. Marine, but also at the frontlines of national policy in the federal government. Lira’s desire to continue serving our country led him to lead national veterans programs at AmeriCorps and the U.S Small Business Administration. Lira ran with the intention of being a partner and a problem-solver—not a partisan politician.
