ODESSA — State Representative Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa) joined members of the Ector County Utility District on a conference call on Wednesday to discuss the local and statewide response to COVID-19 and answer questions from the board members.

"I want to support ECUD in their efforts any way I can," Landgraf said. "Meeting the water infrastructure needs for the people and businesses in West Odessa is always necessary, but it is of even greater importance during these uncertain times."

Landgraf, who represents Ector County in the Texas House of Representatives, joined the call with the utility district to offer any assistance the city may need from the state.

"I will take what I learned today to Governor Abbott and my colleagues in the legislature to make sure Ector County gets the state resources it needs," Landgraf added.

Landgraf is attending this and other local government meetings across the Permian Basin to keep locals informed about actions to combat the coronavirus and prepare for the next session of the Texas Legislature, which convenes at the Texas Capitol in January 2021.
