☕ One cup of coffee.
🤝 One invitation to a meeting.
💬 One friend who wants to make a difference.

You don't have to recruit ten members today. Just start with one conversation.

🚨 CONSIDERING A WRITE-IN CANDIDACY IN TEXAS?
If you are thinking about running as a write-in candidate in the November 3, 2026 election, now is a good time to make sure you understand the filing process and the deadline that applies to your office.
Texas requires write-in candidates to properly declare their candidacy in order for votes cast for them to be counted.
📌 KNOW YOUR DEADLINE
🔴 STATE & COUNTY OFFICES
Monday, August 17 at 5:00 PM
Deadline to file as a declared write-in candidate for the General Election for state and county officers.
🔵 LOCAL OFFICES
Friday, August 21 at 5:00 PM
Deadline for declared write-in candidates for most cities, school districts, water districts, hospital districts, and other local political subdivisions.
If you are considering a write-in campaign, take a little time now to confirm:
✅ What office you are seeking
✅ Which deadline applies to that office
✅ Where your declaration must be filed
✅ Whether a filing fee or petition is required
✅ Whether you meet the eligibility requirements

For state and county offices, the Declaration of Write-In Candidacy must be accompanied by the applicable filing fee or petition in lieu of the filing fee. Requirements for local offices can vary by political subdivision.

A little preparation now can help prevent problems later. If a write-in candidacy is something you are considering, this is the time to review the requirements and get your paperwork in order.

The Salvation Army Laredo TX was out in the community this Saturday taking donations for school supplies.

Assisting were students from Martin High School JROTC and members from GCRW.

Volunteers are always needed for this extraordinary organization. A volunteer can be a "bell ringer", assist in their community kitchen, or help out in their family thrift store. It's a great way to engage in our community.

What are data centers, and what could they mean for Laredo's future?

Join Mayor Dr. Victor D. Treviño for a community Town Hall focused on proposed data center regulations and the infrastructure needed to support future development.

While the City of Laredo has not received any applications for data centers, the City is taking a proactive approach by exploring responsible planning to protect critical resources, including our water supply, and ensure future development aligns with the community's best interests.

This is your opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.

📍 Fasken Recreation Center

We look forward to seeing you there. Your voice matters.
