Town Hall in Houston County

Congressman Sessions at the Latexo Town Hall

This Tuesday, I visited Latexo in Houston County for a town hall. This event was also an opportunity to recognize the Latexo UIL math team on winning their 12th consecutive state championship. Coach Cravens and the students at Latexo represent the best of our community. I enjoyed getting to speak to constituents and engage in discussion about current events impacting our country, from localities to the federal level. Thank you to everyone who came, town halls are an essential part of driving the change you want to see. If you could not make it out to Latexo, I will be hosting a town hall at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, August 20 at the Jewett Civic Center. See here for more information, and I hope to see you there!

Stephen F. Austin State University has welcomed a new president to oversee their top-notch academic and athletic programs, Dr. Weaver. This week, I got to meet President Weaver and discuss his plans for continued growth in enrollment and excellence in academics at SFASU.

Military Officers Association of America

Congressman Sessions addresses the Heart of Texas MOAA dinner

Thursday night, I had the opportunity to address the Heart of Texas Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America. The MOAA is the nation’s largest association of uniformed service members and their spouses. Their mission of advocating for the military community through providing scholarships to children of uniformed servicemembers and supporting veterans in crisis is admirable. It was an honor to spend time with members of the MOAA.

The forum will include time to meet with congressional and academy representatives, an academy admissions panel, and congressional panel. There will also be opportunities to hear about the admissions process form parents, the Academy Board, and cadets/midshipmen. See here for more information.

I joined ABC News Live to give his insight into the state of the race for the White House. I believe that this race should be based on policy over personality.
