Katy city officials honor McCaul

Posted

Katy city officials Thursday honored U.S. Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Austin, for his service to the city.

McCaul, whose congressional district includes the Waller County and Harris County portions of the city, will lose the Harris County portion due to redistricting.

The Harris County portion has been moved to Congressional District 8, now represented by Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands. Brady is retiring from office this year. Running to succeed Brady are Democrat Laura Jones and Republican Morgan Luttrell.

McCaul will continue to represent the Waller County portion. He is running for re-election against Democrat Linda Nuno.

U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Richmond, represents the Fort Bend County portion. He is running for re-election against Democrat Jamie Jordan.

McCaul cited work on the SAFER grant, which enabled the city to hire new firefighters, along with efforts to establish a Texas National Guard in Katy following Hurricane Harvey in 2017, among other accomplishments.

City Administrator Byron Hebert said McCaul was a great friend to the city.
