She was a candidate for the United States Congress in Texas's 7th congressional district for the Democratic Party.[2] Early life and educationMoser was born in Houston, Texas.[3] Her grandfather arrived in Houston in 1942 as a refugee from Nazi Germany.[4] She attended St. John's School and graduated from Amherst College in 1999.[1] She later worked in publishing at the Harvill Press in London before becoming a freelance journalist.[1] Publications and careerMoser published her first book, an "efficient, compact" biography of the actress Bette Davis, in 2005.[5] With her friend Lauren Mechling, she co-authored a series of young adult novels about the experiences of a girl who moves from Houston to Brooklyn.[6] She contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, and The Jewish Daily Forward. She worked as the education columnist at Slate, where she explored many areas of policy.[7] Political involvementFollowing the United States presidential election, 2016, Moser founded an organization called Daily Action.[8] In 2017, she moved back to Texas's 7th congressional district to run for Congress in 2018.[9] In February, 2018, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), citing concerns about Moser's electability in the general election, called attention to past controversial statements by Moser.[10] That DCCC action was condemned by DNC chair Tom Perez[11] as well as by Our Revolution, which endorsed Moser a few days later on March 1, 2018.[12] In the Democratic primary on March 6, 2018, in a seven-candidate field, Moser earned 24.3% of the vote versus Lizzie Pannill Fletcher's 29.3%.[13] In the runoff on May 22, Fletcher defeated Moser, 68% to 32%, becoming the official Democratic Party candidate in the November general election for the 7th Congressional district.[14] Moser urged her supporters to back Fletcher against Republican incumbent John Culberson.[15] In the November 6 general election, Fletcher defeated Culberson by five percentage points (52.5% versus 47.5% of all votes.) [16] Personal lifeMoser is married to Arun Chaudhary, who was the White House videographer for President Barack Obama.[17] Her brother is Benjamin Moser, a New York Times Book Review columnist.[18] She has two children.[18] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://jwa.org/people/moser-laura|title=Jewish Women's Archive.
