pro tem. has announced his can-
didacy for Texas house of Repre-
sentatives, District 31,'a seat
being vacated hv Robert Harley of
Portland, who recently
announced his candidacy to the
Railroad Commission.

cher and businessman, has
served as a Beeville city council-
man and mayor pro tem since
May 1991, until his recent res-

ignation to run for this post. He
has served as chairman of Beevil-
le/Bee County Redevelopment
Council and the Beeville/Bee
County Redevelopment Author-
ity Corporation since the incep-
tion of each organization. Both
groups are community-wide
organizations charged with the
acquisition and redevelopment of
NAS Chase Field which closed
earlier this year.
Galloway, an honors graduate
of Texas A&M University, where
he received his degree in agri-
cultural economics, and a gradu-
ate of the University of Texas
School of Law, works for Gallo-
way & Sons, Inc., funeral direc-
tors, which was founded by his
grandfather in Skidmore in 1913.
“My family has been part oi this
area for six generations, and I
have grown up with my parents
and grandparents being very in-
volved in civic and business orga-
nizations in Bee and San Patricio
Counties. I have always felt a
need to serve my community and
to be involved in civic organiza-
tions as well as in local governd-
ment. I have a very firm under-
standing of the people of this dis-
trict, their beliefs and priorities,
and hold a deep desire to serve
them.”
A former legislative aide for for-
mer State Senator Bill Sarpalius
and the Senate Agriculture Com-
mittee, Galloway adds, “Having
worked for a state legislator for a
number of years, and having
worked closely with many mem-
bers of the Texas congressional
delegation, I have learned the
value of public service and how
the legislature can function to
serve the people.”
Galloway has been actively in-
volved in numerous area civic
organizations, serving as presi-
dent of the Beeville Kiwanis Club
and of Bee County Western Week
Celebrations. He has also served
on the board of directors of the
Bee County Junior Livestock and
Homemakers Show, Beeville
Boys and Girls Club, the Bee
County Chamber of Commerce,
and the Texas FFA Foundation.
He and his wife Susie have two
children, J.W. 7, and Maggie, 5.
Burr seeks second four-year term
Judy Burr, San Patricio county
treasurer, has announced her in-
tention to seek re-election to a
second four-year term.
First elected in 1990, the 48
year old Democrat, has seen
numerous changes made in her
office. Changes she feels have in-
creased the value of service to the
county taxpayers.
“After taking office, in January
1991,” Burr said, “I saw that my
staff and I could handle more
administrative duties. After dis-
cussions between myself, the
county auditor, and the commis-
sioners, the court decided to
transfer the investment manage-
ment, payroll, and workmen’s
comp functions from the au-
ditor’s office to the treasurer’s
office.”
Also, during this term, Burr
attended training and completed
certification at seminars spon-
sored by the Texas Association of
Counties. She is now a certified
county treasurer and a certified
investment officer.
“I feel especially proud of the
fact,” Burr continues, “that our
earnings from invested reserve
funds have gone from #400,000 in
1991 to over #1 million in 1993. If
re-elected, I will continue toserve
the county honestly and effi-
ciently.”
Hawley candidate for District 31
Judy Hawley of Portland has
announced her intention to file
for the District 31 state repre-
sentative post.
In announcing her candidacy,
Hawley stated that one of her top
priorities will be to protect the
children and taxpayers of District
31 bv insistingon aschool finance
plan which delivers to the dis-
trict’s local schools their fair
share of state aid.
“Firmly believing that local
school districts know their needs
best, if elected, I will fight for leg-
islation which streamlines TEA
and provides for more local con-
trol of school districts.”
Filing as a Democrat for the
seat presently held by Robert Ear-
ley, Hawley acknowledged that
District 31 has been fortunate to
have been represented by such a
conscientious and responsive
man.
Hawley, an educator for 20
years, is active in civic and charit-
able organizations in the Caoastal
Bend area. Graduating cum laude
with honors from Knox College,
Hawley majored in history and
psychology. She has earned addi-
tional graduate honors in admi-
nistration, economics, and his-
tory.
She is married to David Haw-
ley, a former farmer and current
owner of an area CPA firm. They
have two children, one a graduate
of University of Texas and the
other a senior at Texas A&M.
Vowing to be a representative
who represents, Hawiey related,
“As I have visited with people
across our district, which in-
cludes Karnes, LiveO ik, Refugio,
Bee. and San Patricio counties, I
have come to realize how disen-
chanted many citizens are with
state government. Farmers are
frustrated by redundant paper-
work, crime victims are ignored
and angry, and county officials
are besieged with court-
mandated state prisoners and iri-
Noting that small businesses,
including farms and ranches, em-
ploy 85% of the non-government
employees in Texas, Hawley said
the legislature must be more
attentive to the impact of legisla-
tion on these businesses.
“As Texans enter the 21st cen-
tury, they are facing a shifting
array of social concerns, many of
which demand immediate con-
sideration,” Hawley noted. She
pointed out that legislators will
have to make some tough deci-
sions concerning the allocation of
state resources during the next
session. “Overburdened tax-
payers are rightfully resistant to
more hits on their pocketbooks,”
Hawley claimed. “Frugality and
accountability must be the
watchwords for each legislator.”
