Our April meeting was truly one for the history books. Village members were proud to welcome
Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives Dustin Burrows, whose remarks celebrated recent
legislative achievements while outlining a clear vision for Texas’s future. I personally enjoyed
the opportunity to introduce Speaker Burrows to the rich legacy within our membership. Penny
Remick and her daughter Lindsay Hughes are direct descendants of Sam Houston, while Joyce
Ellington is a great grandniece of Mirabeau Lamar.

reflect on what we’ve seen so far.

turned out to vote, while 367,109 Democrats cast ballots in the same election. November will be
a battle for the independent voter, and we Republicans must get out our message and win
hearts and minds.

President Trump delivered a moving and heartfelt State of the Union speech that clearly demonstrated stark differences between the two major parties. And having Todd Starnes at our February meeting was truly a joyful treat!
