Back during COVID, Texas salon owner Shelley Luther wanted to keep her business open. It’s how she made a living and fed her kids — something she told a judge, who ordered Luther to apologize and admit she was ‘selfish’ — and for her defiance was sentenced to a week in prison. Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered her immediate release.

More from The New York Post:

A Texas woman jailed for operating her salon despite COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns is moving from the big house to the state house.

Shelley Luther was ordered to jail for seven days in 2020 after Dallas County judge found her guilty of civil and criminal contempt of court, according to Fox 4 Dallas.

Luther had refused to shutter the business during lockdown. She was only released from jail after the personal intervention of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Now, however, she’s moving to the Lone Star state legislature, where she was elected this week to represent the northeast 62d district. Luther, a Republican, defeated Democrat Tiffany Drake with roughly 75% of the vote.

Good for her.

Yes it is.

Of course not. They got to keep doing what they wanted.

Long past time.

One seat at a time.

Don’t forget how cruel they were willing to be.

That judge deserves no less.

The people who ordered lockdowns didn’t have to worry about feeding their children. They tossed $1,200 to us and expected that to be enough.

She sure is.

Also, well played.
