RECEPTION
UPDATE
We are pleased to announce a change in the program
for Monday night at the NACO conference. The Reception will now start at
5:30 pm rather than 6 pm in order to accomodate the schedule of our keynote
speaker Congressman John Carter of Texas. We will also hear from
Councilmember Robert Artlett of Sussex County Delaware regarding his efforts and
involvement in the Trump for President campaign.
 U.S.
Representative John R. Carter was re-elected in a landslide in November 2016 to
his eighth term representing Texas' Thirty-First Congressional District in the
U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Carter was selected this term as
Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Appropriations and also to
serve on the Commerce, Justice and Science Subcommittee, and Defense
Subcommittee. In addition, this is his fourth term as Co-Chairman of the
bipartisan House Army Caucus. He has been a member of the House Appropriations
Committee since 2004. Additionally, he is a member of the House Republicans
Steering Committee, a leadership position.
Since his first election in 2002, Congressman Carter
has established himself as a leader in Congress who has the foresight and
courage to author and support numerous pieces of legislation that would increase
the protection of U.S. citizens, and bring justice to those who threaten our
freedom and way of life.
Congressman Carter is one of the few House
Members who has authored legislation signed into law under both Presidents Bush
and Obama. In spite of now being a veteran Congressman, John Carter is still
known as "Judge" for having served over 20 years on the district court bench in
Williamson County, which he won as the first county-wide elected Republican in
Williamson County history. Before becoming a Judge, Congressman Carter had a
successful private law practice and continued to practice law while serving as
the Municipal Judge in Round Rock.
