Over the past couple of weeks, my office collected food donations on jean day in lieu of $1, and today my team and I filled up the Little Pantry at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. I’m so grateful for this amazing group of ladies, they truly have the biggest hearts. ❤️

If you or someone you know needs food, please feel welcome to visit the Little Pantry.

The remaining donations will be delivered to Waxahachie CARE to help even more families in our community.

So proud of our team and thankful for the chance to give back. 🧡

Thank you, Commissioners Court for approving the purchase of the Property Fraud Alert software. I strongly feel we have a duty to protect the citizens of Ellis County and this is one way we can do just that. My office has been working with Data Preservation Solutions on this since October and we are excited to see it all coming together. The goal is to have the registration link ready to go by the end of January and we will work with the local media to get the word out.
