“What this RFQ does is it doesn’t eliminate that
agreement, but what it does is it provides us the
opportunity to add additional entities into the mix as
far as future projects that may come to reality,” Stewart
said. “Really it just provides us an increased talent
pool from which to choose as we begin the process of
looking at potential future projects.”
Presson asked who had written up the request for

State Rep.
Drew Springer,
R-Muenster
State Rep. Drew Springer announced
Wednesday, Nov. 20, he has filed for reelection
to represent House District 68 in the state
legislature.
Springer, a Republican from Muenster, is in
his fourth term in the Texas
House of Representatives.
He was first elected to the
legislature in 2012 and
was unopposed in each
election since, according to
ballotpedia.org.
Longtime Gainesville
college professor Pat
Ledbetter announced
her intention to seek the
Democratic nomination in
2020 for House District 68,
the Register reported earlier this month. The
district includes Cooke County and 21 other
counties extending into the Panhandle.
“Representing HD 68 is an honor and a
privilege for which I hope I have earned the
community’s support to continue doing so in
2020,” Springer said in a press release which
described him as “a Christian and a lifelong
conservative.”
Springer supports measures to limit or
eliminate abortion, according to the release,
and also supports loosening restrictions on
gun ownership and use. He voted to increase
the budget of the Texas Department of Public
Safety to allow the deployment of extra
law enforcement to the state’s border with
Mexico without pulling officers from other
areas of the state.
