Re-Elect Patricia Chisolm-Miller for County Commissioner Precinct 2

Today, as Commissioner Miller places her bid for re-election, she is proud to say that the minimum pay offered by jobs provided by companies who have received a Waco-McLennan County Economic Development Grant is $15.00 per hour plus health benefits.  Given that the state of Texas ranks 50th in the nation in healthcare coverage for its citizens; and continues to be one of the states in the country that refuses to expand its Medicaid Program, Commissioner Miller is proud of the voice she gives on the McLennan County Commissioners Court in regard to programs such as the Indigent Healthcare Program, Waco Family Medicine, and the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District.

When Commissioner Miller announced her intent to run for office in 2018, the Jack Harwell Jail Facility was under operation by LaSalle Corrections. In 2019, the McLennan County Commissioners Court did not renew that contract which allowed the county an opportunity to provide better programming in our county jail – such as GED classes with a specific focus on veteran issues, as well as mental health issues, and mentoring classes.

In regard to, a community forum, on January 1, 2020, the Lester L. Gibson Leadership Luncheon was formed. The forum is held every second Monday at 12:00 noon.

At Tradinghouse Lake, the park upgrades have been completed. Envisioning the county’s goals for tourism and park development, Pat assigned the Precinct 2 Road & Bridge Department, an exceptionally talented group of men, who built the roads located within the renovated areas.

One of Commissioner Miller’s first major accomplishments on the court was to have approved $422,000 in funding to assist the city in repairing its roads after the new water lines were put in place during the city’s water infrastructure upgrades. Pat says that, “Only God could have ordained the term I’m seeing end. And, let me say, it has been a pleasure to work on behalf of the constituents of McLennan County Precinct 2.” As she seeks a second term, she asks to be allowed to continue in this work.
