News, Media and Commissioners Court Updates
Welcome to my campaign news and public information page. I will use this page to share coverage of my campaign, my community service, and the decisions being made in Brazos County government. I believe residents should be able to read the source material, understand the costs and alternatives, and see how local decisions may affect the people and taxpayers of Brazos County.
