COASTAL BEND IN
WASHINGTON, D.C. // 2 PICNICKIN' & POLITICKIN'
PROVIDES VALUABLE
OPPORTUNITY //
Thirty-three community and
business leaders from around
the Coastal Bend participated in
the annual CB to DC Advocacy
Trip that took place October
2-4, 2018. The delegation
traveled to Washington, D.C.
to represent the Coastal Bend
and voice our concerns to the
nation's top legislators and
policy officials. The busy, three-
day itinerary included meetings
with Congressman Cloud,
Senator Cornyn and Senator
Cruz, to name a few. Thank you
to all who participated in this
crucial effort to advocate for
our members and the Coastal
Bend business community. For

approaching, now is the time to
get to know your local elected
officials and candidates. The
Chamber's Picnickin' & Politickin'
mixer occurred the evening of
October 15 at BUS (Bar Under
the Sun) and provided Chamber
members with the opportunity
to do just that. In addition to the
opportunity to mix and mingle with
elected officials and candidates in
a casual and non-partisan setting,
all in attendance enjoyed Boston
Dawgs Authentic East Coast
Cheesesteaks, signature cocktails
and live music from the Drive Duo.
The evening was a great success
as we had great participation from
elected officials, candidates and
Chamber members alike. We hope
all who attended found the event
beneficial and feel one-step closer
to making an informed decision at
the polls on November 6.
