Tony Rodriguez announces candidacy!
A VOTE for me is a VOTE for you!!
I’m asking for your support for City Council for the City of Bonham.
Bonham has such a potential with four major highways, the restoration of our courthouse, the Sam Rayburn House and Library, the railroad depot and trades day. With the new Bois d'Arc lake, Bonham State Park and our own Lake Bonham, we have so much to offer the people who come through our town, so we must work diligently to fix our streets, clean up and take pride in our small town and I am willing to work on that 100% to accomplish this with my fellow councilmen, the BEDCO board and all the city staff.
We must work together to do the best we can to serve the citizens of Bonham.
Thank you for your support.
If you have any questions you can call or text at 903-486-5560.
