Meeting with state legislators in Austin

Four members of the city council, along with representatives from the Rowlett Chamber and Leadership Rowlett, took a quick two-day trip to Austin this week to meet with state legislators and advocate for Rowlett's legislative agenda. Deb believes building relationships at the regional and state levels is an important part of being an elected official, and something she will continue as mayor. 

She says, "Thank you to state senator Bob Hall, representatives Angie Chen Button and Rhetta Bowers, PUC Director Mike Hoke, Adriana Cruz from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, and Speaker Burrows for taking the time out of this busy session to meet with us. The laws enacted by the state impact the city and its citizens, both directly and indirectly, and bringing our concerns to those who make the laws can benefit us all."
