⭐️TEXAS CAPITOL⭐️ MESSAGE from
THSRA QUEEN, Tilden Shofner⭐️
I had the absolute honor of touring our beautiful Texas State Capitol yesterday alongside my fellow members of the Texas High School Rodeo Association National Champion Team!🇨🇱✨
Hearing directly from our state leaders on the critical issues shaping the future of agriculture and our great state was an experience I won’t forget. The history, the stunning architecture, and the wealth of knowledge shared left me so incredibly inspired! 🏛️🌾
A huge thank you to State Representative Joanne Shofner and her amazing team for planning and welcoming us on this trip. Rep. Shofner, I am still looking forward to meeting you soon—and yes, I’m still trying to dig through the family tree to see if we are relatives somewhere down the line! 😃
Meeting State Representative Helen Kerwin was a true highlight. Your story, along with your daughters’, is such a bright, shining light for young ladies everywhere, especially those of us coming up in agriculture! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ✨🐴
Special thanks also to the Office of the Texas Secretary of State Robert Howden for taking time out of a busy schedule to welcome us. Your insights were both educational and entertaining! 🎓🙌
I also want to extend my deepest appreciation to Speaker Dustin Burrows, Chief of Staff Zak Covar, and Director of Policy Sam Bacarisse for sharing your time and knowledge. Thank you all for your unwavering dedication to Texas youth and the future of agriculture! 🌾🤠
