Rep. Patterson announces a new DFW legislative caucus in the Texas House. More here ⬇️
ONE DFW LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS FORMED TO STRENGTHEN REGIONAL COLLABORATION & ADVANCE DFW PRIORITIES Texas is an economic powerhouse, and Dallas-Fort Worth plays a key role. If it were its own nation, the counties of Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, and Rockwall would have one of the top 25 global economies. If it were a state, it would have the 5th largest state economy in the United States. Now, legislative leaders have joined together to advance regional priorities, strengthen our shared economy, and advocate for the investments and resources to keep North Texas thriving. ONE DFW Legislative Caucus is comprised of a bipartisan group of Texas House Members residing in Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin and Rockwall Counties. The caucus will be led by Rep. Jared Patterson (R – Frisco) serving as Chairman, Rep. @RepRamonRomero (D – Ft. Worth) as Vice Chairman, Rep. @RepToniRoseTX (D – Dallas) as Secretary, and Rep. @MattShaheen (R – Prosper) as Treasurer. The mission of the ONE DFW Legislative Caucus is to collaborate, advocate, and deliver for the region by advancing regional priorities, securing strategic investments, and building a stronger, more united Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The caucus will serve as a forum for members to identify opportunities for regional partnership, coordinate legislative efforts, and promote policies that strengthen infrastructure, economic development, public safety, workforce growth, education, and other issues critical to North Texas' continued prosperity. “Our region's continued success depends on our ability to work together," stated Rep. Patterson, Chairman of the ONE DFW Legislative Caucus. "While each of our communities has unique strengths and priorities, we share a common interest in ensuring the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex remains the best place in the country to live, work, raise a family, and grow a business. By speaking with one voice on regional issues, we can better advocate for the investments and policies that will benefit the people we represent."
