Matthys not filing for City Council
Dear Editor, My name is Bill Matthys, and it has been my privilege to serve as your Council Member at Large for the past 17 years. I am enormously grateful to the voters of the city of Cuero for electing me to eight consecutive terms since my appointment to the city Council in 2008. The purpose of this letter is to announce that I will not be a candidate for re-election in the election to be held May 3, 2025.
The seat I am vacating in May may be filled by any adult in good financial standing with the city who resides in any of the four districts within the city limits. The period for filing to run for the seat is January 15 through February 14, 2025. Interested parties may pick up a filing packet from the City Secretary, Ms. Jennifer Urban, at City Hall, 212 E. Main Street. Further information about filing may be obtained by calling (36) 275-3476 during city business hours.
During my 17 years as a member of the Cuero City Council, I have served as mayor-Pro-Tem under three successive mayors and served alongside several dedicated women and men elected by the voters to serve as members of Cuero’s governing body. Your City Council members come from varying backgrounds and do not always agree on every issue. What they do agree upon, however, is their purpose in serving on the Council. That purpose is to keep Cuero a safe and thriving community and a great place to live and raise a family.
Thank you for the opportunity I have had to serve as your City Councilman. It has been one of the greatest honors of my lifetime.
Janie Hill ~ President Cuero Little League
