LUBBOCK – Texas State Senator Charles Perry this week announced an upcoming town hall forum in Childress.
“I am excited to spend time in Childress and visit with the constituents I am blessed to represent down in Austin,” said Senator Perry. “Town halls are one of the best ways for me to hear firsthand what matters most to the people of West Texas. I look forward to discussing the work we’re doing at the state level on issues from health care to education, and laying out my vision to ensure Texas has water to meet its future needs.”
Senator Perry has been a key advocate for water management in Texas, authoring and passing SB 7 / SJR 7 last session. These bills aim to secure long-term water supply by financing infrastructure projects and conservation initiatives, addressing the state's growing water needs.
The town hall will be held Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. in Fair Park Auditorium, Foyer 100 Fair Park Drive Childress, Texas 79201.
Senator Perry has served six sessions in the Texas Senate and is the Chairman of the Committee on Water, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs, Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Health and Human Services, and a member of the Finance, State Affairs, and Transportation Committees. He also co-chairs the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) Advisory Committee and the Texas Infrastructure Resiliency Fund (TIRF).
At the town hall, Perry will provide a legislative update, discuss priorities for the upcoming 90th Legislative Session, and hear concerns directly from the community. The event aims to provide an open platform for Childress residents to engage on key issues affecting the region, including water, agriculture, healthcare, and rural development.
The event is free and open to the public. If you have questions or would like additional details, please contact Jennifer.Foster@senate.texas.gov.
