Why it matters
Harris County hired professionals to speak for us in Austin when state lawmakers make decisions about our schools, roads, healthcare, and emergency services. Without this help, our county could lose millions in state funding or face bad laws that hurt residents.
If this passes
Harris County will have professional advocates in Austin fighting for better state funding for our schools, roads, healthcare, and emergency services during the 2026-2027 session.
If this does not pass
Harris County would have no professional voice in Austin, risking lost state funding and unfavorable laws that could hurt residents and local services.
