Shelley Luther, the former Dallas salon owner who was jailed after reopening her salon during the COVID-19 pandemic, is heading to the Texas state house.
Luther defeated Democrat Tiffany Drake Tuesday night, earning more than 75 percent of the vote to win in Texas House District 62.
Luther made national headlines when she reopened her far North Dallas salon in defiance of countywide restrictions.
She was jailed for seven days in 2020 after a Dallas County judge found her guilty of civil and criminal contempt of court.
Luther was fined $1,000 for each day her salon, Salon à la Mode, was open after a court ordered it closed.
