Texas State Senator Charles Perry has announced an upcoming town hall forum in Clarendon on Tuesday, October 7, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. at the Clarendon College Harned Sisters Fine Arts Center.
“I am excited to spend time in Clarendon and visit with the constituents I am blessed to represent down in Austin,” said Senator Perry. “Town halls are one of the best ways for me to hear firsthand what matters most to the people of the Panhandle. I look forward to discussing the work we’re doing at the state level on issues from health care to education, and laying out my vision to ensure Texas has water to meet its future needs.”
Senator Perry has been a key advocate for water management in Texas, authoring and passing SB 7 / SJR 7 last session. These bills aim to secure long-term water supply by financing infrastructure projects and conservation initiatives, addressing the state’s growing water needs.
Senator Perry has served six sessions in the Texas Senate and is the Chairman of the Committee on Water, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs, Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Health and Human Services, and a member of the Finance, State Affairs, and Transportation Committees.
He is also the Chairman of the select committee on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding, where he passed Senate Bill 1, the Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act. This legislation follows the tragic flooding at Camp Mystic that claimed the lives of 27 young Texans. In their honor, SB 1 sets clear standards to keep camps safe, requiring emergency plans, weather alerts, staff training, and prohibiting cabins in dangerous floodplains.
At the town hall, Perry will meet with local residents to discuss legislative priorities and hear concerns directly from the community. The event aims to provide an open platform for Clarendon residents to engage on key issues affecting the region, including water, agriculture, healthcare, and rural development.
The event is free and open to the public. If you have questions or would like additional details, contact Jennifer Foster at Jennifer.Foster@senate.texas.gov.
