We have made much progress in Woodcreek over the past year thanks to a newly involved citizenry and hard-working committees, boards, commissions and the City Council. We need to continue meeting the needs of our citizens by electing three deeply involved and forward thinking neighbors to the Woodcreek City Council November 8.

Let’s talk about “watchdog.” A watchdog’s job is to protect. It is a very trusted creature and is given the responsibility to guard. Chad Canine is running for the school board position to do just that. To protect our teachers, children, and district as a whole from outside influences that distract from academics.

An old legal proverb says: “The thing speaks for itself”. Three candidates are running for Woodcreek City Council, the most qualified with local government knowledge and abilities being: LINNEA BAILEY was an economically-thinking Woodcreek City Secretary several years ago, staying active ever since. Linnea is Chairperson of our Platinum Panel on Woodcreek Roads to get all of our roads fixed. Linnea’s so frugal that she only had one side of her campaign signs printed.

November 8, 2022, is a very important Election Day! As president of the Hays County League of Women Voters, I’d like to encourage your readers to make a voting plan. Voting is our way to make a difference and influence our communities, and developing your voting plan will ensure that your voice is heard.

I am supporting Lindsey Deringer for Place 5, WISD School Board.

Flu season is underway, and health officials are urging Texans to get their vaccinations as soon as possible, since it takes about two weeks for the shot to take effect.

We live in a day when political candidates say what they think people want to hear during the campaign, but seen to forget their promises once they get in office. John Epley does not talk out of both sides of his mouth. If you ask his opinion, he will answer directly and honestly. While he has strong convictions on a given matter, he will listen to evidence to the contrary and is willing to alter or change his positions only when facts warrant reconsideration. This is exactly what we need in our political leaders. John Epley will be a welcome addition to our city council. I encourage you to join me in casting your vote for him.
