You Can Represent The Panhandle As A Silver-Haired Legislator

SILVER-HAIRED LEGISLATURE GIVES VOICE TO OLDER TEXANS

Panhandle residents age 60 and older have an opportunity to represent the Panhandle region’s senior population as a Texas Silver-Haired Legislator (TSHL.)

These legislators work with the Texas Legislature on senior issues, which may become law.  If you are 60 or older, reside in one of the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle and are a registered voter, you may file as a candidate for election in the TSHL.   Terms are for two years.  TSHL members pay their own expenses. For more information about TSHL please visit www.txshl.org
