I pledge my whole-hearted support for Jeff Barton as county judge. Among the many good things Jeff has done for Hays County, the two that resonate with me are his advocacy for better, safer roads and the work he’s done for the environment. I drive FM 1626 Monday through Friday from my home in Buda to San Marcos and 2-3 times every weekend into Austin. Every time I return home safely, I sigh with relief. Jeff has fought for years to improve 1626. He pushes TXDOT constantly to get them moving on a contract so work on the road can begin. Jeff realizes that the sooner that happens, the better we will be able to take advantage of lower construction costs in the current economy. Jeff cares deeply about the land in Hays County. I was extremely pleased with Jeff’s leadership in preserving the Dahlstrom Ranch, which is just a few miles from my house, and I’m looking forward to enjoying walks in the park when it opens to the public. Jeff’s strong commitment to helping make Hays County a great place to live is evident in his untiring efforts to improve roads, bring in jobs and investment, and preserve natural areas.
