Turner Telegram: Time to start thinking big.

We all know that Texas is big. We’re taught at an early age (I think it’s in the state curriculum for first grade) that everything is bigger in Texas.

Rep.-elect Turner hopes to work across party lines on key issues

ARLINGTON — Chris Turner won’t be sworn in as a state representative until January, but his meeting calendar is already filling up with area community leaders and residents seeking to bend his ear on issues important to them.

Just about a year ago, Turner, a Democrat, decided to run for his first public office. He set his sights on the Texas House and campaigned on issues such as improving regional transportation and increasing funding for schools, teachers’ pay and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Get Texas Moving Again

Since being electing, Chris has worked closely with leaders and citizens throughout southern Tarrant County to find ways to improve the transportation infrastructure at look at alternative methods of travel, including light and commuter rail systems. He will continue to be a vocal voice for our region and work with his fellow legislators to find solutions to our transportation needs.
