Dear Editor:

With the pandemic craziness and uncertainty going on right now, voting in a run-off election may not be your top priority.

But, elections have consequences, and it is particularly so in the District 59 state representative race. It is imperative not only for the future of Texas but for the future of our country, to keep Texas solidly red. In a traditionally red district, we deserve a conservative representative as our voice in Austin.

I believe Shelby Slawson will enthusiastically represent our conservative rural values in Austin, where our current representative has not. As a former Stephenville City council member and an active member of the Erath County Republican Party, I have had many opportunities to interact with Shelby. She’s impressive - she arrives at any meeting she’s participating in extremely prepared. She’s armed with research so that she can contribute facts and data to the discussion. She is articulate and delivers her presentations with passion, enthusiasm and facts.

We need her in Austin. We need her passion! We need her articulating our conservative values.

Early voting starts Monday June 29th and continues through July 10th. Please put on your mask, get our your hand sanitizer and get to the polls and vote!

Carla Trussell

Stephenville, Texas
