House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington recently completed a tour of West Texas, visiting various locations within his Congressional District. The tour included stops at hospitals and meetings with small business owners and local leaders to discuss community concerns.

In Andrews County, Arrington met with local leaders to address economic challenges. He stated, “Biden and Harris have launched an all-out assault on Rural America - our agriculture and energy economy, our working families, and our values - and communities like Andrews are paying the price.”

During a town hall in Gaines County, Arrington discussed national issues. He remarked, “We all agree there needs to be a sense of urgency because our nation is at a historic inflection point: we will either renew our faith in God and freedom or submit to the rise of socialism.”

Arrington praised the Martin County Medical Hospital District for its healthcare services. He said, “Recognized as one of the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals in 2023 and 2024, we take great pride in having one of the best hospitals in the country right in our backyard.”

In Howard County, he participated in a roundtable discussion about economic challenges. Arrington noted that communities like Big Spring have suffered from inflation and regulation under current policies but expressed hope for future prosperity.

Speaking to the Mitchell County Farm Bureau, Arrington emphasized support for rural workers. He asserted that many politicians overlook Rural America but promised continued advocacy for farmers and ranchers.

Finally, in Taylor County, Arrington celebrated Hendrick Medical Center’s centennial anniversary. He commended their commitment to healthcare driven by a Christian mission.
