David Speicher announces for Bandera County Commissioner Precinct 2
I’m David Speicher and I’m running for Bandera County Commissioner Precinct 2.
The election has begun. Early voting has started. For the last seven months I have been visiting with our residents throughout Precinct 2 and learning a lot. I am astonished at the support I have received. Thank you all so much!
For those I have not met yet, I would be happy to visit with you as well. In the meantime… Here is a little about me.
VETERAN — ENGINEER — EXPERIENCE
I am Civil Engineer with over 29 years experience and nine years experience as a City Councilman/Mayor Pro-Tem. I am a Gulf War Veteran, a Lifetime member of the VFW and a member of the Lakehills American Legion Post 410. I am married to Dr. Michelle Speicher and has three amazing adult children: Kevin, Rhianna and Thomas.
Simply put - I will initially focus on our Roads, Trash/Recycle, Regulating Development and Removing Drugs from our community.
Roads - The citizens in my Precinct are most concerned about their roads. The county imposes two road taxes for repairing our roads. The residents in Lakehills are seeing very little road work by the county.
Trash/Recycle - We have a dump that many residents use including me. But it is very inconsistent with cost. One time a truck load is $20 and the next $40. In addition, many residents have expressed concerns that there are many homes that have extensive trash within the property. We need to investigate how to clean up our community with a cost-effective solution that may include community clean up and bulk trash days. At the last Commissioners Court, it was concluded that we cannot do it because of COVID-19 and the low number of inmates. There must be a better answer even if it means the county must spend money on it.
Development - Many citizens are worried about development. Residential developments are and will continue to move into our county causing increased traffic and flooding. Our local streets are already failing and cannot handle the additional wear and tear. Some residents in Bandera County are already experiencing flooding caused by new development upstream from them. We need tougher ordinances that will protect our citizens, protect our infrastructure and most of all our charm.
Lastly Drugs – I have heard from many of our citizens about their concern about the manufacturing, and distribution of meth and other drugs in our Precinct. For the safety and welfare of our citizens and children, this should not happen. In addition, we will never reach our potential as a community if we have a strong drug use/manufacturing presence. This really isn’t exclusively a Precinct 2 issue. If drugs are being manufactured in Precinct 2, they are being sold throughout Bandera County. And for the safety and welfare of our community, it must stop it. Therefore, I plan to work with precinct, county, and state officials to come up with a solution that focuses not only on manufacturing but the overarching drug addiction epidemic.
If you want to know what is going on in the county, you will simply be able to call me, email me, go to my social media page. I will be honored to attend any group meetings, including school events, sporting events, community center events, and others throughout our precinct. Transparency is a must, and you will have it with me.
