1.) The passing of President George HW Bush is a loss almost beyond words. Personally, I always considered him my model of public service. As a community, we viewed him and Barbara as treasures . . .

2.) Making up that deficit was just not possible. I am proud of my campaign since I received significantly more votes than any other Republican, including those at the top of the ticket.

On a positive note, thanks Steve Showalter and Baytown Sun for: “Emmett has been very effective in the job, and he deserves reelection. He handled the Hurricane Harvey disaster with compassion and competence, and he has been instrumental in getting the area back on track.”
