ROBERT LEE, TX—Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) hosted his 112th community town hall in Robert Lee to discuss DHS funding, highlight the successes of the House-passed 2026 Farm Bill, and address water supply concerns in the region. Congressman Pfluger looks forward to partnering with state and local leaders to address the water supply concerns discussed during the meeting.
Congressman Pfluger also gave a special recognition to Judge Hal Sapin, who will be retiring at the end of this year after more than a decade of distinguished service. Judge Spain's tenure has been defined by steady leadership and a deep commitment to the people of Coke County. Before entering elected office, Judge Spain served as County Commissioner and with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
"It's always great to be in Coke County and meet face to face with the men and women I am blessed to fight for in Washington. These conversations are invaluable in helping me serve you in Congress, and I sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to attend, listen, and ask questions," said Congressman Pfluger. "It was also a distinct honor to recognize Judge Spain for his years of steadfast service to this community. I have been extremely grateful for his leadership and friendship, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
