When a bridge fails, the massive investment required for replacement is often impossible for local governments to manage alone, says @NACoCounties President @JDClarkTX. Without a strong federal partner, many communities struggle to secure the funding necessary to maintain these essential links.

Alex @AlMeyer19 has been a great partner and friend to work with on issues that impact counties across the nation. I wish him well in this new role!
Last Friday, Alex Meyer @ALMeyer19 completed his last day as the leader of White House Intergovernmental Affairs. Alex solved problems and grew relationships with Governors, Attorney Generals, Member of Congress, State Legislators - elected officials across the country. Too many to count.
Alex was a critical part of our 2024 campaign, particularly leading President Trumps decisive Iowa victory in the Caucus which kicked off win after win in the campaign.
Alex returns now to the political world to helm important midterm races. Candidates are fortunate to have his talent.
The many across the country he helped navigate challenges in the White House continue to admire him and I look forward to continuing to collaborate along the way.
I wish Alex much good fortune and I’m offering my best wishes for many successes in the weeks and months ahead.
This Monday, a first: live-streaming Commissioners Court from the Historic Wise County Courthouse. Livestream at 9am, wisecountytx.new.swagit.com/… Honoring our past, building our future!

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins (@SecRollins) on reemergence of flesh-eating screwworms: "It's really south Texas where we're really combatting this every day."
Honored to deliver the keynote at Wise County Veterans Group Memorial Day Ceremony. This day is sacred in the American story, a day to remember those who gave everything so the rest of us could live free. May we never become so comfortable in freedom that we forget what it cost.
Infrastructure Week in DC was an important opportunity to advocate for counties & the communities we serve. Met with @WhiteHouse & congressional leadership to support BUILD America 250 Act & infrastructure investment for counties. #InfrastructureWeek #localgovt @NACoCounties

Athena Strand is more than just a name featured in a crime story. She was a Wise County resident, a student at Paradise Elementary, a beloved friend and a bright light to all who knew the child. This is Athena's story.

.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."
Appreciative of Governor @GregAbbott_TX for honoring my request to issue Texas Disaster Declaration for Wise County. Helps ensure all available resources can be used by those impacted by tornado and storms. Thank you, Governor!

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Honored to deliver keynote at @TAMU @BushSchool City-County Governance Symposium. Spoke on need for local storytelling in policy. If policymakers don’t hear local voices/stories, the conversation is missing something essential. @NACoCounties @TexasCounties #txlege
Appreciated speaking with the National Association of County Engineers. Contact your Congressman and support adding the BASICS Act to the next Highway Bill reauthorization to expand direct federal access for county roads. @NACoCounties @TexasCounties
We need modern county road funding for 21st century. Counties maintain 50%+ of TX roads but get just 0.2% of fuel tax revenue, unchanged since 1954. We’re not asking to raise taxes, just update allocation: 1 penny (5%) for counties.Wise Co: $61K → $1.6M. wcmessenger.com/articles/wis…
Happy to be giving the keynote address at the Wise County Chamber of Commerce…but even happier that sweet Claire Grace is accompanying me tonight!
Grateful to be back at the White House with Leah and our girls for the Easter Egg Roll. Moments like this mean more when shared as a family.
Thank you to @WhiteHouse and the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs for the invitation and warm welcome.
