Burleson City Council Meetings
Hey Burleson!
If you want to stay informed of what is happening with your local government, not just your state and federal government, there is no better way than to be in attendance, at your local city council meetings.

They will have 3 minutes to answer each question and given a 30 second notice, of 3 minute time expiration. Candidates will all be asked the same 5 questions, individually. The questions will be screened, so as not to “sand bag” any of the Candidates. Candidates are going to be allowed to converse, before and after the forum. Feel free to mingle with them.
Be sure to plan ahead to have enough time allowed for parking. You don’t want to miss this forum! Media is being contacted for this forum.
Chet Edward’s Town Hall Meetings
Congressman Edwards has two remaining town halls.
We suggest you arrive early.
There are “rules” to attending… you can find those here on his website.
Format: Questions for the town hall will be selected at random by an independent third party in a lottery system. District 17 Constituents who want to ask questions will fill out cards as they come in, and they will be called on randomly to ask their question. No printed signs, electronic or recording devices will be permitted.
