Linda Curtis
A LIV Founder, organizer and chief bottle washer. Aka "Linda for A Little Less Corruption," Linda has been an advocate for political reform in Texas since 1992 and, before she got to Texas, since 1979. Known for going in the opposite direction, that's her blurry likeness crossing the Rio Grande to Mexico, presumably legally. See Linda's bio.
Arlan Foster
Arlan is an East Texas bubba with a heart of gold and a knack for telling jokes. A union leader and organizer, retired police officer, veteran and tradesman, Arlan has a keen ability to think through how to solve -- not make --problems. He also knows from raising an extended family the importance of being the adult in the room full of childlike politicians. Read Arlan's bio.
Jeff Harper
Jeff got heavily involved in the independent movement during the first Ross Perot presidential campaign in 1992. A tradesman by trade, Jeff is one of the most well-read amateur economists this side of the Pecos. He authors "Uncle Sam's Checkbook," and is LIV's well-informed budget and redistricting nerd.
