Jill Dutton ~ Meet and Greet

 

The Texas House race is headed to a runoff election this season, between Jill Dutton and Brent Money. This week we hosted House hopeful Jill Dutton in a meet and greet, sponsored by Craig and Chaney Johnson. The runoff election is on January 30, with early voting starting on January 22-26, 2024.

 

An important endorsement was announced at the meet and greet by the Hopkins County Law Enforcement Association, who now endorses Jill Dutton. This is an important endorsement for her from Hopkins County which bolsters her local endorsements even more.  To see a full list please visit her campaign website.

 

Jill Dutton grew up in the Dallas area and moved to Van Zandt County where she and her husband and three children live, and they are owners of a construction firm. Dutton first picked up the desire to run for public office when she ran for a school board position. Once elected she served in that position for 10 years. Her other election and political experience have been through supporting roles, helping other people in their successful election bids.

 

Her priorities are to represent Hopkins, Van Zandt, and Hunt counties, as a listening ear, and bringing resources back to our counties with better local control. She also wants to help bring money back to local cities for capital improvements. Dutton feels that our schools need more support and wants to remove the STAAR test, with a better system of accountability for future and present students. She also supports Governor Abbott regarding securing our boarders, along with many other issues that area residents are also passionate about.

 

Dutton wants to remind voters that early voting starts on January 22-26, for the runoff election set for January 30. Once the seat is filled the next round of campaigning for voting begins, for the primary March 5 election. She stated “we need prayers and people turning out to vote and making donations. It takes money to beat Money.”

Events at The Oaks ~ Meet and Greet

 

    The Texas House race is heating up and candidates are out and meeting constituents all over Hopkins County.  We opened our doors for a meet and greet for House hopeful Brent Money hosted by Down to Earth Services.  Members of the public were invited to stop by and see what Mr. Money had to say about his platform and discover if he is the right candidate for them.  

    Brent Money is a local business owner in Hopkins County and Sulphur Springs, with a title and law office located off of Broadway, close to the Urgent Care facility.  He is the proud father of five children, and has been married for over 23 years, to his high school sweetheart.  A sixth generation Texan and Hunt County resident, he feels that he has a pulse of what the people want and plans to help put forward the issues that matter to local area residents for the State of Texas as a member of the House. 

    Mr. Money hopes to put "people" back into politics by supporting the publics right to make their own decisions for their family.  "We need someone who will fight for common sense Texas values as this district’s representative." (https://www.brentmoney.com/) He plans to lead this new position by his faith and values and use his talents that has been given to him from God. 

    Mr. Money has focused on appealing to many of the major pain points many Texans feel are their rights and values as individuals in the State.  The following are the some of the platforms he plans to stand up for as a member of the Texas House.  These are the values he plans to fight for such as border security, election integrity, property taxes, right to life, second amendment, parental rights, education and justice for all.  

    If you did not have a chance to attend this event, we encourage you to find an event and meet the candidates who are running to figure out who will be the best fit for you and your values.  Be sure to check out any forms of social media or his website for more information about his candidacy and be on the look out for his next public appearance.

    Guests enjoyed small bites and drinks while visiting with Mr. Money.  Pulled Pork Sliders, Cucumber bites and Profiteroles were just to name a few.  We try to make your event as seamless and easy as possible and of course delicious.
