Beth Biesel is a local grassroots activist who currently serves with David Carruth as a co-leader of the Park Cities Preston Hollow Leadership Forum. She has been with the PCPH Leadership Forum since its founding in 2009. Beth is also an active member of Dallas Eagle Forum and Park Cities Republican Women’s Club. During the 83rd Legislative Session, Beth worked with Cathie Adams and Texas Eagle Forum as the Legislative Coordinator for lobbying against the Smart Meter deployment in Texas. As a Heritage Action Sentinel for the past 18 months, Beth has worked with Heritage Action to influence members of Congress to uphold the constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, free markets, the rule of law, and national sovereignty. Beth and her husband, Bill, live in University Park. She is the mother of 3 college-age children. While she considers herself to be a wife and mother first, she is passionate about connecting biblical principles with public policy. When the two don’t match up, and when the god of government attempts to usurp the God of the Bible, she is unrelenting in her determination to call out the errors and weaknesses of unbiblical views in civil government. “Things become very clear when Scripture is the ultimate authority,” says Biesel.
