KERMIT — State Representative Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa) participated in the Winkler County Hospital District board of directors meeting on Tuesday to discuss the local and statewide response to the COVID-19 pandemic and answer questions from the board members regarding the upcoming 2021 Texas Legislative Session.

“I appreciate President Sims and CEO Serrano for allowing me to speak today,“ Landgraf said. “My goal is to make sure Winkler County has the necessary state resources to continue the fight against COVID-19."

Landgraf, who represents Winkler County in the Texas House of Representatives, met with the board to offer any assistance the hospital may need from the state.

“The can-do attitude of folks in Winkler County always impresses me.” Landgraf continued. "Winkler County residents and business owners have every reason to be confident in their local leaders' ability to keep them safe and working."

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.
