When John Carter settled down in Central Texas with his wife, Erika, he knew it was the right place to raise his family because of the great schools, low taxes, and safe communities. John was a young lawyer who recently completed his bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech and his law degree from University of Texas. At first, he was only one of two lawyers in Round Rock, Texas, but a decade later John Carter was appointed District Judge for the 277th District Court in Williamson County. During that time, he aptly earned the nickname that stuck with him to this day; Judge.
Smartly addressing the transportation challenges of reducing traffic congestion and facilitating the movement of goodsare among the most important issues facing Central Texas. In addition to improving our current transportation infrastructure, I believe we must embrace a multi-modal approach to accommodate the demands both increased population and industrial growth have made on the region.
I never stop working to ensure the transportation needs of central Texas are addressed. During my time in Congress I have secured funding for important transportation infrastructure projects which expand services into Williamson and Bell Counties. I have long supported improvements to the interstates that run through and surround Bell and Williamson Counties as well as those that are critical conduits for the rapid movements of goods from Texas’ ports to the rest of the nation.
As TX-31 continues its extraordinary growth, I will continue to do all I can to ensure the transportation priorities of the region are addressed in forward-thinking and effective ways.
