There’s been 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 floating around about the 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 Washington 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗦𝗗 #𝟭, especially regarding the 𝗘𝗦𝗗 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀. These snippets are from Colorado country that is also going through the ESD process...

So, let’s set the record straight:
Only three counties in Texas (Harris, Smith, and Orange) qualify to have 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 ESD boards—Washington 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.

The bottom line:
ESD boards are designed for 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁—𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵.

When appointing board members, the goal is to select qualified, community-minded individuals—without turning public safety oversight into a political campaign and ensuring professional, nonpartisan oversight. Appointments help keep the focus on transparency, service, and accountability.

Remember, today is the last day of early voting, and we need everyone’s support to ensure this passes. It is vital to secure a reliable funding source for our fire departments! If you're being told there are other “solutions” that will work, know that the fire departments have been trying to come up with solutions for 50 years, and each one has resulted in inconsistent funding. Go out and vote yes! Support your fire department!

Please help us, help you!
