Carl Isett
Carl Isett was the only practicing Certified Public Accountant when he was sworn into the Texas House of Representatives in 1997, representing District 84 (R-Lubbock). He served in that position through 2010 focusing on government efficiency, insurance reform, and limiting taxation. Since that time he has continued to represent selected clients before the legislature and the executive branch. Carl brings a strong knowledge of varied subject matter, the legislative process, and twenty years developing relationships at the Texas capitol to help his clients achieve their goals. He received a B.A. degree in accounting and finance, and a M.S. degree in finance from Texas Tech University. Mr. Isett declined his candidacy for an eighth two-year term in 2010 in order to take command of a Defense Logistics Agency depot in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2011. Carl retired from the United States Navy, Reserve Component in 2017 at the rank of Captain (O-6) after 26 years of service.
He cites his legislative accomplishments as successfully championing bills that increased efficiency and improved the management of information technology in state government. While in the legislature, Isett championed the first medical cost transparency bill in Texas and sat on the Insurance Committee and sought to reorganize the Committee as Chairman of the powerful Sunset Committee.
