Welcome
When I first heard about the idea of having a blog I was a little hesitant. I wasn’t sure if it would be useful to the people of the 11th District. After all who really wants to hear a blow by blow of what goes on in my office or in the House of Representatives? After only a short time in office I realized that the people back home did want to know more about what was happening in DC and how it affects them. Every time I went back to the district someone would comment on the Conaway Chronicle (my weekly newsletter). This blog will allow me to expand on what the chronicle does with a more personal account of what goes on in my office.
I want this blog to be about the issues that concern Texans and what my office is doing about them. I want to post as much as I can, but members of my staff who are the eyes and ears of my office will be more regular posters.
There are a lot of hot issues on the agenda for the remaining year. I am looking forward to border security and immigration reform, and budget reconciliation.
If you would like to comment on the blog please go to www.conaway.house.gov and send me an email. Who knows your email may end up in an entry.
Mike
