General Election · Tuesday, November 3, 2026 · Texas District 22
Days until Election Day
A single mom who moved to Texas in 2010 for a better shot. A math teacher who became a lawyer. A city councilwoman who reads the packet.
Marquette Greene-Scott is a dedicated public servant, currently Mayor Pro Tem of the City of Iowa Colony, Texas, holding Position 3 on the city council.
She was born to Beatrice Greene and the late Joseph Greene, a Vietnam veteran who served three tours of duty, in Opelousas, Louisiana. She is the youngest of five children and the proud mother of a 26-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn. Marquette is also a newlywed, having recently married Lisco Scott, an IT professional.
In 2010, Marquette made a brave move to Texas, seeking better opportunities to support Kaitlyn as a single mom. She knows firsthand the challenges families face: the sleepless nights worrying about finances, the balancing act of raising a child while holding down a job, and the constant push to provide a better life. She credits her community and support system, living by the African proverb, “It takes a village.” Her journey would not have been possible without the help of family, friends, and neighbors.
A firm believer in giving back, Marquette has a heart for service that spans her entire career. Before becoming an attorney, she spent 14 years teaching high school and college mathematics, working in schools where she could make a difference in students’ lives. Even as she juggled law school with raising a toddler, her determination never wavered. Today she practices law in both Texas and Louisiana, with a focus on helping families and individuals navigate personal crises. Whether it is a family law case or a probate matter, Marquette brings compassion and a solution-oriented mindset to the table, always with an eye toward fair outcomes that help people move forward.
Marquette moved to Iowa Colony in 2019, drawn to the area’s small-town feel and sense of community, something she deeply values after growing up in Louisiana. As a public servant, she does her homework, listens carefully to her neighbors, and approaches each decision with a deep sense of responsibility. For Marquette, leadership is not about political points; it is about making real, lasting change that helps families thrive.
She now looks forward to bringing her values and experience to the national stage as she runs for Texas Congressional District 22. As a mom, a former teacher, a wife, and a community leader, she is committed to ensuring that every family has the opportunity to succeed, just as she fought to create that opportunity for herself and her daughter.

Iowa Colony is the second-fastest-growing city in Texas and the fastest-growing in Brazoria County. That growth is the job.
Traffic, light flickers, power and internet outages are the pains of a fast-growing city. Marquette works with the business community and developers on infrastructure growth, including the cell and Wi-Fi service people now need to work from home. Winter Storm Uri showed what happens when local government stays out of it. Put people before profit and hold elected officials accountable.
Growth and infrastructure go together. Council decides where and how growth happens through zoning and density. Residents should not drive 30 minutes for a grocery store. New businesses are a good start; attracting more generates the revenue that funds the infrastructure, while keeping a rural, small-town identity.
Farm or subdivision, everyone wants what is best for Iowa Colony. Marquette worked with Land Tejas, the developer for Sterling Lakes and Sierra Vista, to bring the city together for Iowa Colony Day at Sterling Lakes.
As the daughter of a veteran, Marquette co-organizes the city’s Memorial Day and Veterans Day events and takes part in Coffee Talk, Support Service Network, which brings organizations together on solutions and resources for veterans.
Healthcare, affordability, reproductive rights, veterans, voting rights, immigration, and the economy.
District 22 is winnable with the resources to reach every household.
