What We Accomplished

Citizens demanding better elected leaders who will deliver.

"All four won because voters know who they are and what they stand for. Thirty years serving this community. Consistent. Fair. Responsible. Conroe chose accountability at every level."

— Chris Carson, Chairman of Save Downtown Conroe PAC


The campaign spanned three months and two elections. A documentary series laid out the issues. Voters responded with clarity.

Hoisington, Blevins, and Sellars were sworn in after winning on May 2. They have already begun their work on the policies that brought voters to the polls. Tonight, Maddux joins them as part of the complete slate elected to serve Conroe.

"This is what happens when citizens demand better. You show up. You document the truth. You stay engaged. And you finish the job."
