My Town Halls…
are held monthly for members of the community to gather together to discuss issues, concerns and ideas. These meetings can provide the citizens with information about the decisions of the Commissioners Court, capital improvement projects, road repair updates and other county business. You can’t do anything about what you don’t know!
From time to time, other elected officials or department heads may want to give a special presentation and/or take questions. I want to encourage any elected official that would like to engage with the public to join me.
Town Hall meetings serve as a way for me to gather feedback about our decisions, input on proposed policies or projects, and address concerns raised by the community. This is my job review! I answer to you.
Just as our founding fathers, I believe in the consent of the governed and I support your right to free speech. I encourage you to come as you are and engage with your elected official about your community. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend.
*No food or drinks will be served at this meeting.
*This is an informal meeting.
*We will not live stream or record.
I hope you can join us! I’m looking forward to meeting the citizens of Smith County.
Remember…
County Commissioners have a duty to:
Protect our citizens’ natural rights against rogue actions of the state or federal government;
Prioritize obtaining “consent of the governed” through transparency and citizen participation;
Ensure every election is secure and the results for every vote cast in every race or ballot initiative can be verified;
Ethically manage county business;
Uphold the rule of law at all times;
Prioritize public safety through effective law enforcement and the court systems;
Represent the people of our precincts over special interests;
Properly maintain county infrastructure (roads, bridges, drainage, buildings, vehicles, equipment, county data, and human resources);
Utilize tax revenue effectively and efficiently, ensuring the highest quality for the best price;
Set a tax rate with the burden of the taxpayer at the forefront of our minds.
