Good afternoon! As you know, our lobbyist was able to attend Lt. Governor Dan Patrick's Austin fundraiser today.

The Lt. Governor and his campaign staff were very pleased that individual couriers are again supporting him. Patrick spoke highly of his relationship with the industry and stressed that personal contributions are particularly "special" and appreciated. He and his staff recalled the individual support our members provided during the last election cycle and were genuinely pleased to have that kind of support in 2016.

We have started to count up the pledges and were able to tell the staff that we would be bundling all the checks for delivery when we finished collecting them. So, it is not too late for individual TCLA members to contribute. These contribution checks are one way we can set our association apart in a very positive way.

Our association's Lobbyist will be attending a fundraiser reception Honoring Lt. Governor Dan Patrick this Wednesday, September 7th, 2016.

Lt Governor Patrick has been a friend of the courier industry.

We would like to be able to offer a TCLA pledge to the event organizers and deliver checks at a later date. It would be wonderful to reach a goal of $1000 in personal contributions from TCLA members.

Legislative leadership is a priority for us. (Note: Corporate checks are prohibited, but personal checks and checks from LLC's are permitted).

If you would like to contribute, PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHECK OUT TO "TEXANS FOR DAN PATRICK" and send your check to TCLA President, Erin Patriquin at P.O. Box 143043, Austin, Tx 78714-3043. She will make sure contributions get delivered to his campaign.

If you would actually like to attend, please see the information below:
