Carole Parsons

declared

I am married to Phil Parsons, a proud Aggie and Marine, who has been in Commercial Property Management for many years.

I have been employed for over 20 years by Advantage Solutions, a Brokerage firm, that represents many Grocery/Health and Beauty Clients. I rep and sell for those clients exclusively to the Kroger Houston Division Office

We have lived in April Sound since 1992, and our son Garrett is a MCSO Deputy, having also recently graduated from Sam Houston.  He is married to Monique, and is the proud father of our Grandson Seth .

I am an active  member of the Lake Conroe Area Republican Women, and feel that it is time for me to serve my Community, at the grassroots level of Precinct Chair.
