Congressman Conaway and Jacob Hounshell

Conaway eager to hear public's comments during office opening
By Gene Deason -- Brownwood Bulletin
Congressman Mike Conaway will be in Brownwood Wednesday morning to formally open his Brownwood district office and discuss his positions on national issues, but he hopes to spend most of his time here listening to his constituents.
"We hope to have a great turnout," Conaway said in a telephone interview Monday. "I'll review some of the accomplishments of my first seven months in Congress, and for the House of Representatives this has been an incredibly active legislative session. But mostly I hope to listen. If someone disagrees with me, I want them to tell me that. But maybe I can offer some details that might not have occurred to them."
The grand opening of the Brownwood office, located inside Brownwood City Hall, will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday. Refreshments will be served at the come-and-go reception, but a flag-raising ceremony and ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. hosted by the City of Brownwood and the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce.

I would ask Congressman (R) Mike Conaway if he is aware of Brown Counties Jacob Hounshell. I contacted his office and have not heard back from him. I would ask Congressman Conaway and his staff to google Jacob Hounshell to read of the cases of what many returning American soldiers are facing.
