A place worth Protect in
Welcome to Georgetown’s legislative advocacy.
Several bills filed in the ongoing 89th Texas Legislative Session could affect the City’s ability to plan for and regulate growth at the local level. According to recent FlashVote polls, we know that is not what our residents want. While City leaders continue to meet with our state elected officials, they need to hear from our residents, too. Help us fight for what we love about our community. Reach out to your representatives today. For more information, visit georgetowntexas.gov/txlege.
