Team Katy was in attendance for the Hudspeth County Commissioners Court meeting in Sierra Blanca, Texas this morning.
We had the opportunity to hear members of the Sierra Blanca community share their concerns about construction taking place on private property without permission as part of efforts to build the wall. Today, residents came together with one message: NO THE THE WALL. 🚫 #NoBorderWall

Additionally, the 23rd district currently lacks representation in congress, therefore our community cannot be heard and aided.
These doctors see it every single day in their exam rooms and emergency departments. I'm proud to have them stand beside me in this fight for our future. Thank you, @protecthealthcare.medsky.social !
The initial detection of screwworm was June 4th, 2026 in Zavala County, which is located here in the 23rd congressional district.
This sudden of an outbreak raises a serious question: could we have prevented this pest from spreading in the first place?
As of June 8th, 2026 there are now 5 confirmed cases in the U.S, with 4 of them being in Texas, of New World Screwworm. Three calves and one goat have been affected in Texas, along with one dog in Lea County, New Mexico.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) lost thousands of employees due to budget cuts from the federal government. When these cuts were made, it negatively impacted the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) which is heavily involved with agricultural protection.
We are closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as new details and safety guidelines come about. Protecting our agricultural economy and our wildlife is protecting our way of life.
