I’m Brent Hagenbuch, and I want to be your next Texas State Senator. Your current Senator, Drew Springer, has announced his retirement and I am seeking to be your Republican nominee.

My name is Kendall Coleman and I am running for Archer County Commissioner Precinct 3. I am a fifth generation pioneer family of Archer County and I am married to Melanie Meador Coleman of Archer City.

I am very grateful to continue being your Tax Assessor Collector for Archer County. I am a proud Archer county native who graduated from Windthorst ISD.

Hello, I’m Clifton Russell, and I am running for Archer County Commissioner Pct. 3.

In our recent Sunday Gospel readings we came across Jesus healing Simon Peter’s mother in law (Mark 1:29-39), and again in the healing of a Leper (Mk 1:40-45). In these encounters we observe the attitude and style of God Our Father in the attitude and gestures of Jesus. Remember, Jesus reveals in John’s Gospel “I and the Father are One” (John 10:30) and “the Son can do only what He sees the Father doing” (Jn 5: 19). Jesus imitates His Father. Paul will later remind us to “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” [In the Catholic Tradition saints are called saints because in some heroic manner and by the grace of God they became imitators of Christ]. We are all called to this imitation.
