Christina will be at Stuermer Store in Ledbetter Friday, May 28, from 11-3 (& possibly later) to help you with submitting public comments to TCEQ.

Whether you would like to utilize a comment template we already have or if you know what you’d like to say and just need assistance submitting it, we’re here to help you!

We will also accept comments that you would like mailed or hand delivered to TCEQ.

*Your submissions to TCEQ are adding up—great job everyone! This morning the count was up to 42.

*Let’s see if we can get more requests for a Public Meeting as well…when you submit your comment, state you’re also requesting a public meeting. You can also submit a separate request for a public meeting.

Hoping to get an email sent out today—so keep a lookout for that as well.

I am incredibly honored and grateful for the trust the voters of District 5 placed in me last night. This campaign has always been about fighting for strong public schools, supporting teachers, and backing every student’s success.

Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, and community member who made this possible. The work isn’t over — now we turn toward the General Election in November.
