To the Elgin and Bastrop County communities,
I'm sure we all feel the same way about the events of January 6th in our nation's capitol, a deep sense of sorrow and a profound sense of being disrespected by some of our own. When I think of the capital riots, I get flashbacks of Viet Nam, civil unrest at Berkley, the JFK assassination, and of course 9/11 and every other problem our nation has overcome in the past 70 years.
Serving the people and the communities of House District 17 is an enormous privilege and responsibility that I have not taken lightly over the last seven years. It is my hope that our district will continue to have a strong, qualified leader to represent us at the Capitol, and I am giving my full endorsement to my friend, Bastrop County Judge Paul Pape, to be our next state representative.
I felt the need to address this because there has been so much misinformation spread about the reason the Fire Department Christmas Parade will be held in McDade instead of Elgin this year (as it was last year as well) as far as the City of Elgin is concerned.
