Opinion

I graduated from Wimberley, my oldest is a Wimberley grad and I have three more to go. We have come a long way from the one school town that I grew up in, since my family moved here 42 years ago. But my husband and I raised our kids here because of the wholesome family values and quality academics that Wimberley holds. Voting for school board candidates is as high of a priority as any other position on the ballot. The school board serves as an anchor for a community like ours. For many years WISD has been exemplary in academics, athletics and overall unity which has drawn many families and exceptional teachers to Wimberley. A vote for Lexi Jones would certainly continue in that tradition.

I am so pleased my friend Colonel (Ret) Cynthia Millonzi is running for Hays County Constable—Precinct 3! Let me tell you about her. Cynthia is a Veteran who served our country for 30 years in increasingly responsible positions, rising from Private to (full bird) Colonel. During her career, she led multiple commands in addition to filling significant staff positions in operations, logistics, and human resources. She led teams successfully in Iraq. And, in her role with the National Guard, she deployed teams of first responders to aid those adversely affected by Rita/Katrina, the Bastrop fires, and the Wimberley Memorial Day floods. Her Human Resources skills will be an asset in giving staff the support, development, and encouragement they need to perform optimally. Her previous management of multi-million-dollar military budgets equips her to take charge of the Constable’s budget, ensuring adequate funding and resources for the office. She brings a fresh perspective that will support collaboration with community members, local businesses, nonprofit organizations and the City Council in redefining the role of Constable to include the full range of law enforcement activities required by statute and needed to make our community a nice, safe place to live. I know her best from her charitable work in Wimberley. As President of Imagine Wimberley, she led the organization’s quick response to the COVID-19 crisis, providing volunteer support to those in need, PPE to health care workers, and recognition to first responders. She is a leader and a patriot who has committed her life to service. There is no one better qualified to serve as our Precinct 3 Constable. Please vote for Cynthia! You won’t regret it.

I enthusiastically support Linda Kaye Rogers for re-election as Director District 4 (WATER HT4 on your orange Voter Registration Certificate).

I am writing a letter of support for Vicki Alvord, Judy Brizendine and Bob Hambrick...candidates for Woodcreek City Council.

I am supporting Bob Hambrick and Nancye Britner in the upcoming Woodcreek City Council elections. Each will bring seasoned professional experience and mature, balanced judgement to our City Council process. I hope you will share my support and VOTE FOR these candidates.

Please VOTE for Woodcreek City Council Candidates who have work experience in Accounting and Business Administration. This work history experience is Critical for understanding the City of Woodcreek’s Budget and for overall City management needs.

When considering the open council positions in the City of Woodcreek this year, I am personally looking forward to choosing a fresh new candidate to bring a renewed energy to our community leadership team. I am looking for someone who will represent the collective voice of the whole neighborhood. This is why I fully endorse Chrys Grummert. His campaign brings new life to Woodcreek management and promises of open communication with equitable representation.

It is with great pleasure that I endorse Jeff Rasco to the City of Woodcreek City Council. I met Jeff in 2004, when I was a new resident.

This year we have many exceptional candidates running to represent us here in Wimberley and Hays County. ERIN ZWIE- NER has proven during the 2019 session of the Texas Legislature that she has tremendous skills and knowledge and, above all, a commitment to serve all her constituents. Without a doubt, she is the best state representative HD 45 can have. JULIE OLIVER will bring the same to Washington as our representative in TX 25. I admire her tireless dedication to all the people in her district.

I would like to personally share some information and opinion. For the past two years I have had the pleasure of working with Commissioner Lon Shell on several projects that concern groundwater in one way or another. His vision and goals for the future of the Wimberley Valley include preserving our natural resources. He understands the importance of this as well as the challenges of growth and the pressure this puts on our groundwater resources. Working in a collaborative manner with the Groundwater Conservation Districts in Hays County, and other pertinent agencies, he has turned his vision into a plan that can happen. Proposition A, creating open and green spaces throughout Hays county, without tax based funding, is a prime example. Western Hays County especially benefits from the purchase of acreage, El Rancho Cima, and forty-three acres adjacent to Jacob’s Well as part of the nature preserve Both projects help protect the aquifer and guarantee preservation of recharge to the aquifer. I would be remiss to fail to mention his time and effort in support of the strengthening of the HT- GCD enabling legislation, which works in tandem with conservation projects within the County.

Why I’m voting for Lisa Prewitt for Commissioner Precinct 3

For many reasons, the upcoming election will be one of the most important of this new century. On Tuesday November 3 residents of Hays County will be presented with the chance to provide permanent protection for a large chunk of some of the most beautiful and beloved landscape in the Hill Country.

I am writing this letter in support of Jeff Rasco for Woodcreek City Council. Jeff and his wife, Monica, are long-time residents of Woodcreek (1997). Their children and grandchildren also live in Woodcreek. That alone says a lot about the commitment that Jeff has to our community.
