Thank you to @MitchFound's grantees and partners who led a coordinated education effort across Texas! Voters approved the largest water infrastructure investment in state history. Prop 4 dedicates $20 billion over 20 years to secure water supply, fix aging infrastructure, and address other water-related challenges for our growing communities. 🌊 texastribune.org/2025/11/04/…
