Meet Star Black

Star Black has spent her life in service to others — showing up on people’s worst days and working tirelessly to help them rebuild.

A 28-year veteran of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Star worked on the front lines of disaster recovery with local, county, and state governments, nonprofits, and private partners to deliver resources and relief in the aftermath of disasters. Her job was to bring logic to chaos, solve problems under pressure, and be a good steward of taxpayer dollars.  I focused on solutions every day. 

Public service is about showing up when times are tough, not creating chaos for personal attention. In Congress, I will listen to your concerns, fight for your needs, and put the spotlight where it belongs — on the people of the 14th District.  

Her personal journey also includes being a caregiver for both her husband and her mother while working full-time. That experience drives her vision for a Caregivers Network — a one-stop resource where families can quickly find the services, support, and relief they need. She knows that at some point, everyone will either be a caregiver or need one. 

Star has called the 14th District home for 17 years, with deep roots and a strong commitment to making it a place where everyone can thrive. She was the founder and former CEO of four businesses.  She had an exclusive contract with FedEx Ground/Home Delivery.  All businesses were based in the 14th District. Star knows the difficulties a lot of small businesses face daily. 

She’s ready to bring her decades of problem-solving experience, entrepreneurship, and responsiveness to Congress and represent the people with the respect and dedication they deserve.
