My latest District 129 Newsletter

View this email in your browser

Friends,

The two special sessions of the 89th Texas Legislature were called to tackle urgent priorities—ranging from disaster preparedness and flood protection to election integrity and strengthening Texas families. Despite quorum challenges, the House and Senate advanced the work of the people, ultimately sending 21 important bills to the Governor's desk.

Since returning home, I've been busy visiting with constituents and attending events throughout our community. In this newsletter, I want to share highlights from the special sessions as well as a look at what I've been working on here in the district.

As always, if you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to my office.

God Bless,

Dennis Paul

You're Invited: Rep. Dennis Paul's BBQ!

Dennis Paul BBQ Invite

Friend,

In case you missed it, I am running for the Texas Senate. With Senator Mayes Middleton announcing his run for Attorney General and decision not to seek re-election, I am stepping forward to ensure Senate District 11 continues to have strong, conservative leadership.

Since announcing, I have been honored to receive incredible support and endorsements. Lt. Governor Dan Patrick stood with me from the very beginning, and now I am proud to share that President Donald J. Trump has also endorsed our campaign.

To officially kick off this campaign, I would like to personally invite you to our 10th Annual BBQ at Walter Hall Park in League City. Lt. Governor Patrick and many others will be joining us for an afternoon of good food, fellowship, and the strong conservative energy we will carry into this Senate race.

As always, it is going to be a great time that you will not want to miss. I hope to see you there.
