Rebecca brings over 20 years expertise in the state's legislative, public affairs, and regulatory arenas. Through her strong bipartisan relationships with the Texas House and Senate, state agencies, local governments, and the Texas Governor's office, she has created winning coalitions to influence public policy on a variety of issues including health care, insurance, education, oil & gas, coastal management, and transportation. Prior to her public policy career, Montgomery was a pediatric nurse. The challenge of her patients being denied their managed care benefits brought her to the Capitol to advocate on their behalf. This experience sparked her interest in public policy and changed the trajectory of her career to focus on making a difference through legislative advocacy.
