Kingwood Area Republican Women

April General Meeting

FEATURED SPEAKER,  US REPRESENTATIVE DAN HUBERTY, DISTRICT 127

State Representative Dan Huberty was sworn in to serve District 127 in the Texas House of Representatives on January 11, 2011.  He has been re-elected to this seat three times and has served in four legislative sessions.  In the most recent 85th Legislature, Huberty was named the Chairman of House Committee on Public Education.  He has been lauded as a fair, but firm chairman who runs efficient and effective hearings.  He also serves on the House Committee on Pensions this session. 

In his role as Chairman, Huberty carried several very important pieces of legislation relation to public education.  The most important being a plan to begin to fix the antiquated public school finance system and the legislation to make necessary adjustments to the newly-implemented public school accountability system, which passed late in the session. With regard to states rights, Huberty upholds the 10th amendment because he believes Texans, not congress or federal beaucrats know what is best for our state.  He wants his children and grandchildren the opportunity to grow up and enjoy the quality of life he has experienced.

 Huberty was also instrumental in bringing the issue of annexation to the forefront of policy discussion.  He fought valiantly for property owners to have a right to vote on whether or not they want to be annexed instead of being forcefully annexed against their will.  Having helped to increase the homestead exemption from $10,000 to $25,000, he will continue to fight to lower property taxes so people can afford to stay in their homes or have more money to spend on family.

Huberty will give an update on what has happened in the Legislature in 2017 with regard to border security and human trafficking.  He will also speak about what plans are being continued in 2018 about flood prevention efforts in Kingwood; current construction updates about TxDot/Hwy. 59 and Interstate 99 and how our area will be affected.

Dan, his wife, Janet, children, Brianna, Ryan and Dylan and yellow labs, Rocky and Bullwinkle live in Walden on Lake Houston.  They are active parishioners at Saint Martha’s Catholic Church.
