1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,880
Thank you.

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,920
With deep respect for the Commissioner's Court
and the work

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,160
that you do, I stand to introduce myself,
Ernest Weinberger,

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,840
a retired naval officer living in Denton
County as the

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,960
Democratic nominee for a seat in the U.S.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,880
House of Representatives for Texas
Congressional District 26.

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,480
I would also like to express my appreciation
and support

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,040
for your agenda item regarding the Hispanic
Heritage Month Proclamation.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,720
It is clear to me that recognizing the
contributions and

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,120
accomplishments of this important segment of
our society is a

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,120
critical part of bringing us all together with
one as

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,960
one diverse community.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,840
With mutual support and respect, we improved
the quality of

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,600
life for everyone.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,000
Lastly, I would like to express my support for
election

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,920
day vote centers for Denton County in the
manner similar

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,280
to our early voting polling place
requirements.

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,160
This is not a new or dangerous effort.

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,360
Many other counties are already enjoying the
benefits of vote

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,240
centers.

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,560
I encourage this esteemed court to take on the
challenge,

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,200
clear the last of the hurdles, and make this a

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,360
reality for Denton County.

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,000
Thank you for what you do for Denton County
and

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,920
for this opportunity to speak.

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,800
Thank you, sir.
