Beverly Powell
Beverly Powell (born September 18, 1951), is an American politician from the U.S. state, state of Texas. A Democratic Party (United States), Democrat, she represented District 10 in the Texas Senate from 2019 to 2023. In 2018, Powell defeated incumbent Republican Senator Konni Burton by a margin of 3.4%. During redistricting in 2021, Texas Republicans redrew District 10 to be more white and conservative than its predecessor. The old district had been located entirely in Tarrant County, Texas, Tarrant County, and voted for Joe Biden by eight points. The new district stretched into portions of six nearby counties, and would have given Donald Trump a 16-point margin had it existed in 2020.
