Salon owner jailed for refusing to shutter her business during COVID lockdown wins seat in state legislature

A Texas woman jailed for operating her salon despite COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns is moving from the big house to the state house.

Shelley Luther was ordered to jail for seven days in 2020 after Dallas County judge found her guilty of civil and criminal contempt of court, according to Fox 4 Dallas.

Luther had refused to shutter the business during lockdown. She was only released from jail after the personal intervention of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Now, however, she’s moving to the Lone Star state legislature, where she was elected this week to represent the northeast 62d district. Luther, a Republican, defeated Democrat Tiffany Drake with roughly 75% of the vote.

"After about a month, my hairstylist were calling me saying I can’t feed my kids, I don’t know what to do, so we just made the decision to open back up, and I ended up in jail,” Luther told Fox and Friends.

“I wasn’t super political before any of this, but I’m like, you know, somebody has to do something about this. And so we ran for our first office shortly after that.”

Host Rachel Campos-Duffy noted that during the pandemic, some salons were allowed to stay open — specifically those which catered to Democratic leaders like then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot.

What was done during covid made many people political. This election was a big FU to the establishment.

Trump ran a shit campaign, he was basically TriUMPh the insult politician

By the sounds of it the Harris ground game was next level

Those are the reasons she will win imo... or if you prefer it's why trump will lose , and I believe he lost it more than she won it to be clear .

lol... This is juicy

Why? He would have done even worse, and now him stepping down is no longer the "noble patriot" move. This result just makes it unforgivable that he even tried to run again.

He can tell himself he would have won and you can't prove him wrong. He will go down as the only one to beat Trump and the fact that it all back fired on those who stabbed him in the back with the inside coup has got to be immensely satisfying

This is based on the assumption that he is literally delusional, but I'll allow it.
