With Lisa by my side, last week I once again took the oath of office to represent the people of District 101.
It’s an incredible honor to come back to the Capitol to be a strong voice on the issues that matter to our community: increasing funding for our public schools, protecting our state’s most vulnerable kids who have been victims of abuse and neglect, and fighting for fair and equal treatment for all, regardless of economic status, race, or sexual orientation or identity.
During the next several months, if you’re in Austin, I hope you will come by and say hello and talk to me or my staff about the issues that matter most to you.
To help kick off the new year and the new legislative session, my website — www.repchristurner.com — has a new look. Please take a few minutes to check it out and let me know what you think. I hope you will visit it often for regular updates about what’s going on at the Capitol and in House District 101.
On the home front, you probably received the announcement that we have moved. Right before Christmas, we relocated our district office to 320 Westway Place, Suite 501 in Arlington, just south of I-20 and east of Matlock, a more central location in our district. The new Center Street bridge will be open soon, providing convenient access for constituents north of I-20. We hope you will come by and visit.
While you are there, say hello to our new district director, Miles Wilson, who joined Team Turner earlier this month. Miles grew up in Arlington and recently graduated from Claremont McKenna College in California. He’s already been great addition to our office and has hit the ground running. I hope you reach out to Miles, either by visiting the office, by phone at 817-459-2800 or email at miles.wilson@house.texas.gov.
If you’ve signed up for the February 8th Texas 101 Day at the Capitol, you’ll have any opportunity to meet Miles then. If you haven’t signed up for a seat on the bus, it’s not too late! For details, call our district office, which you can reach at the number above.
