Keisha attended Emory University School of Law, where she was heavily involved in Emory’s prestigious Center for the Study of Law and Religion. She served on the Emory Journal of Law & Religion and two moot court teams. She was a law clerk for the Center’s Restoring Religious Freedom Project where she worked on religious liberty litigation. In her final year of law school, Keisha worked as a law clerk for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) on national and international matters affecting Israel. Keisha was a 2017 Emory University Graduating Woman of Excellence.
Prior to joining First Liberty, Keisha was a 2011 Teach For America corps member in Atlanta Public Schools. As an elementary special education teacher, she taught students with ADD, emotional behavioral disorders, and learning disabilities. Keisha is most passionate about protecting religious freedom for children in America’s schools.

Keisha is licensed to practice law in New York, Texas, and Florida.
In America, the seeds of tyranny have taken root—and we’re reaching critical tipping points on many societal battlefronts. In Uncommon Courage, constitutional lawyer Keisha Toni Russell exposes the tactics of those who are undermining the very foundations of our country and explains how you can walk in faith while defending your freedoms.
Prior to joining the Foundation, Jason, a fourth-generation native Texan, was elected four times as the State Representative for Hays and Blanco counties in the Texas Hill Country.
During his eight years of service, he successfully passed legislation to reduce taxes, strengthen election integrity, improve public education, preserve Second Amendment rights, protect local groundwater, and protect private property rights. He was repeatedly honored for his commitment to limited government and proved to be an effective leader, excelling at both advocating for conservative principles and working across the aisle to find responsible solutions for the future of the Lone Star State.
Jason is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, a board member for the Digital Education and Work Initiative of Texas, and a youth lacrosse coach. He lives in Hays County with his wife, Carrie, and two sons. They attend Westover Hills Church of Christ.
