To know that just over 1 of 4 people went into the polls to vote for me is enough to know that this experience was worth it. President Kennedy spoke at Rice challenging the American people to get us to the moon before the end of the decade, not because it was easy, but because it was hard, and he believed that the American people would achieve that goal. While I am not a Kennedy, I stand in front of you standing amongst the legacy of George Bush, and I issue you a challenge to you. Chase after your dreams even if they seem impossible or hard. While I may have lost tonight, I’ve taken the first steps in chasing after a dream of helping others as an elected official. I’ve set an example for those who come after me that even through failure, there is much to gain. I’ve made strides and shown evidence that your age isn’t a factor of your success, but how hard you work and how deeply you care are a driving factor. While I may have lost the race tonight, I’ve won by showing all young people Ty that this is possible for you, and we’re ready to start being handed the torch and continue the Legacy that the giants before us left. To all of those who supported me and took my meetings on day 1, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. To those who voted for me, don’t be discouraged because you’ll see me on the ballot again. It’s been a tremendous journey, and I’ve been so incredibly blessed to go down this road with the community. Thank you. God bless College Station, and would He guide our new elected officials well.

Brazos County’s District Attorney Visits After A Bryan Man Is Convicted And Sentenced For Shooting And Wounding A Bryan Policeman

A Brazos County district court jury takes seven minutes to find a Bryan man guilty of shooting and wounding a Bryan policeman in December 2022. Then the jury takes less than one hour to reach punishment of life in prison. 46 year old Joshua Herrin was convicted of aggravated assault against a public servant, when he fired at the officer while running away from a traffic stop in the area of Wayside Drive and Avondale Avenue. The officer did not return fire. Herrin drove away in the officer’s patrol vehicle then abandoned it. The following day, Herrin shot and wounded a Brazos County sheriff’s deputy in the Benchley area. Herrin, who was captured following a standoff, faces a trial in Robertson County related to that incident. That trial will be prosecuted by the Brazos County district attorney’s office. Herrin remains in the Brazos County jail as of November 5th in lieu of bonds totaling $5.7 million dollars.

Texas A&M System Board Of Regents To Consider Eliminating 52 Low Producing Academic Programs On The Flagship Campus

Business at Thursday’s Texas A&M system board of regents meeting (November 7) includes moving ahead with the flagship campus eliminating 52 low enrollment minor degree and certificate programs. In October, A&M’s chief academic officer was criticized by the faculty senate for not including members before making his decision. After that, A&M’s president called for restarting the process, using the faculty senate, to determine the fate of 14 minors and 38 certificate programs. The regents agenda includes a resolution to move ahead with the provost’s decision, which was made following input from deans, department heads, and other faculty. The resolution also calls on presidents at other system universities to “promptly initiate a review of minors and certificate programs to identify any low-producing programs that may require elimination.” Attached to the resolution, are 11 pages of low producing minor degree and certificate programs at the flagship that are recommended to remain, become inactive, or be eliminated. The resolution will be considered following a meeting of the regents academic affairs committee. The committee’s agenda includes discussing the proposed resolution and receiving a presentation about low producing minors and certificate programs.
