ACND Commissioner Tommy Moore will not seek reelection in November.
After 18 years of serving Aransas County as your ACND Commissioner At-large, I have decided not to seek reelection in November.
As a fierce defender of Little Bay and government accountability, I believe the ACND is back on the right track.
I filed for reelection to be sure the at-large position would continue to work towards accountability along with the restoration and development of District assets to serve the public.
We are back to pursuing grant assistance enabling the District to leverage our reserves to meet our environmental and infrastructure challenges as we have in the past.
We are making great progress on developing the Rockport Harbor Front. I expect a Master Plan Request For Proposals to be let this Fall inviting a competitive array proposals. Not only will this ensure the best value but enable the District to offer longer lease terms that are attractive to developers.
When I learned that Matt Lynch had filed to run for the at-large position, I knew I could step back with confidence that he would work to steer the District in the right direction.
I have known Matt and his family for many years. His background, experience, and love for Aransas County is what is needed in the at-large position.
Instead of a political race, he and I will work together to continue the relationships established with the state entities charged with assisting the District to prepare for the future.
I will continue to support responsible stormwater management to restore and protect our valuable recreational and navigation assets.
I thank Aransas County citizens for trusting me over the last 18 years to help lead the entity charged with protecting and improving our county’s most valuable tourism and economic development assets with minimal burden on our tax payers.
