It was just two years ago that I was sworn into office as your state representative on Texas Independence Day, a fitting day to pay tribute to our state’s spirit and, in the words of Sam Houston, pledge to “do right and risk the consequences.”

On Tuesday, we will do the right thing again — make history.

Like record numbers of you, I voted early because I didn’t want to wait to make my voice heard. With the presidential choices and many critical local races on Tuesday’s ballot, I hope you will make sure your voice is heard, too.

I look forward to seeing you on Election Night and working with you between now and November to continue the progress we’ve made toward finding common ground and positive change.

Sincerely,

Donna Howard
