Jared Woodfill, a life-long resident of Harris County, knows that dedication and commitment equal achievement. Jared learned the meaning of hard work at a very young age. His mother, an instructor at San Jacinto College, taught him the importance of a solid education, and his father, an employee of NASA who helped bring the Apollo 13 crew home, instilled in him the desire to serve his community. Faith and family have always been extremely important to Jared. He and his wife, the former Celeste Ponce, attend Lakewood Church.

A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and a cum laude graduate of St. Mary's University School of Law, Jared practices law in partnership with the distinguished Republican and former jurist Paul Pressler. Together they have defended conservative principles through their law practice. Jared formerly served as chairman of the Finance Committee and currently serves as chairman of the Judicial Screening Committee of the Harris County Republican Party. He serves as chairman of the Republican Leadership Council and a Special Commissioner for Harris County. He served as vice-chairman for Senate District 17's District Convention, Legal Counsel for the Harris County Republican Party and as a delegate to numerous state and senatorial conventions.
