Senfronia Calpernia Thompson (born January 1, 1939) is a state legislator in Texas. A Democrat, she has been a member of the Texas House of Representatives since 1972 representing the 141st District. She is the former dean of women Legislators in Texas. She has been elected to 25 terms in office.[1] Thompson also advises the United Negro College Fund in Texas.

Biography

Thompson was born in Booth, Texas and raised in Houston.[2] She has a Bachelor of Science in biology and a Master's degree in education from Texas Southern University; a Juris Doctor from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law; and a Master of Law in international law from the University of Houston. Thompson has two adult children, one grandson, one granddaughter and one great-granddaughter.[3]

She represents House District 141, which covers northeast Houston and the Humble area.

Thompson is the dean of women legislators, having served longer in the legislature than any other woman or African-American person in Texas history.[4] In October 2020, she filed to run for Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives,[5] but the Republican Party retained control of the chamber in the November 2020 election. On May 30, 2021, she described her own family's struggles to exercise their right to vote to fellow Texas House Democrats as they strategized how to block Senate Bill 7.[6] At 11:00 p.m., the Democrats staged a walkout of the House chamber to block a vote on the bill before the midnight deadline.[7]
