Congratulations to Spearman Mayor Tobe Shields on his service as the Region 2 director on the TML Board for the 2026–2028 term! 🎉We appreciate his leadership and commitment to empowering Texas cities and look forward to his continued service on behalf of Region 2.
TML President and Waco Councilmember Andrea J. Barefield joined Cedar Hill Mayor Stephen Mason and other leaders at the 2026 North Texas Infrastructure Summit. The event brought leaders together to discuss priorities and opportunities shaping the future of North Texas.
Texas leads the nation in job growth, adding 159,400 jobs over the past year. That success takes shape in communities across our state where businesses open and expand, infrastructure supports growth, and Texans build careers and lives.

Looking for clear answers about legislative advocacy? A Legislative Q&A is featured in the May issue of TTC and breaks down key questions to help readers better understand advocacy roles and responsibilities. A great resource for officials ready to engage with legislators.
A strong example of how public safety, community engagement, and smart branding can transform a city. White Settlement’s progress is making a real impact—great work by their leadership team!
Thank you to my boss, City Manager Jeffrey James for co-authoring this piece for the April edition of the Texas Town & City Magazine, official publication of the @TML_Texas Municipal League.
As a @WSPDTX public safety team, we have worked really hard to prioritize crime fighting strategies coupled with community engagement initiatives and strategic media avenues to create sustainable economic growth opportunities in our commercial and residential sectors.
With a crime rate that has plummeted 31% since 2021 and a re-focus on branding the town's history and geographic proximity as a strength, hundreds of new homes and multiple million-dollar reinvestments of existing commercial projects and the addition of new large-scale commercial properties is having a positive result on great economic growth and outlook for the future.
Special thanks to Mayor Faron Young and City Council for their continued support on these opportunities across town.

Great to speak with Texas Municipal League members about how their priorities dovetail into my work to improve affordability, infrastructure, and housing in the Lone Star State.
I am proud to represent nearly 32 million Texans & will continue to do my part to make life easier for Texas families and businesses, including by passing laws like the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.
🇺🇸 Understanding our present by looking at our past. Fascinating talk at #TMLMidyear by @JeremiSuri on the history of federal, state, and local dynamics. A great reminder that democracy is built from the ground up and local power is foundational to its survival. #TexasCities
Recovery happens long after the headlines fade. Great session with city leaders from Houston, Kerrville, and Rockport on the long-term reality of rebuilding at #TMLMidyear
