Isaiah works as a consultant specializing in the procurement of large-scale aero-space government contracts. Through this work, he’s seen the growth of Houston’s space industry and the impact job growth has had on his community.

While a student at University of Houston, Isaiah found his voice and saw the ways he could make a difference. He founded the on-campus group "#ForTheStudents" that advocated for students' needs. After sitting down with survivors, he co-founded the Full Support partnership with the Harris County DA's office to provide free rape kits and sexual assault services for UH students and six other Houston area colleges/universities. After multi-hour long voting lines on his campus, he teamed up with the Harris County Clerk and UH Athletics to use our on-campus football stadium as a polling location.

After finishing his studies, Isaiah spent two years learning behind his hero, Congresswoman Jackson Lee, both in Houston and in Washington, D.C. During this time, he observed the Congresswoman's commitment to public service, her passion for uplifting families, and her dedication to moving our country forward.

Now, Isaiah wants to bring his experiences in developing solutions to Congress to focus on what matters most; expanding opportunity for all and delivering real results for all Houstonians.
