Carole Keeton Strayhorn is the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts -- the first woman in history elected to that office.
In 2002, she received more votes than any other female candidate for any office nationwide, and more votes than any other winning Republican candidate.
Strayhorn began her career as a public school teacher, and was later elected to the Austin School Board. Strayhorn has also served as a member of the Texas Railroad Commission, mayor of Austin, president of the Austin School Board, and president of the Austin Community College Board of Trustees -- and was the first woman to hold each of those offices.
Strayhorn is a government honors graduate from the University of Texas at Austin. She is a lifetime honorary member of the Austin Police Association and in 1999 became the first recipient of the Friends of Texas Taxpayers Award from the Citizens for a Sound Economy.
