Chambers County, TX – Rep. Terri Leo Wilson formally announced her campaign for re-election  to the Texas House of Representatives, highlighting her strong record of supporting law  enforcement, strengthening public safety, and delivering critical resources to Chambers County.  Rep. Leo Wilson also announced that she has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and  will host her official campaign kick-off event with Governor Greg Abbott on December 15th at  the historic Lasker Inn in Galveston. 

“Serving the people of Chambers County is the honor of my life, and I am running for re-election  to continue fighting for safer communities, stronger families, and the men and women who  protect us every day,” said Rep. Terri Leo Wilson. “I will never stop working to ensure our law  enforcement officers, firefighters, and prosecutors have the support and tools they need to keep  our communities safe.” 

Rep. Leo Wilson has played a central role in securing significant state resources for Chambers  County, including major investments in local law enforcement through the Rural Law  Enforcement Salary Assistance Grant Program. This funding includes: 

• Chambers County Sheriff’s Office

2024: $350,000 

2025: $350,000 

• 344th Judicial District (Chambers County Prosecutors)

2024: $175,000 

2025: $175,000 

• Chambers County Attorney’s Office

2024: $175,000 

2025: $175,000 

These funds strengthen law enforcement retention, support prosecutorial functions, and help  ensure that violent offenders are held accountable. 

Rep. Leo Wilson also emphasized her work to combat the opioid crisis. Chambers County has  received annual allocations from the statewide opioid settlement agreements, including more  than $48,000 in 2023, 9,355 dollars in 2024, and more than $45,000 in 2025. Additional funds  were also distributed to Anahuac, Beach City, Cove, Mont Belvieu, and Old River Winfree.  Chambers County Public Hospital District No. 1 received more than $32,000 plus $7,244 in  2025 to aid healthcare providers in addressing addiction and recovery needs. More than $43,000  remains available to the Winnie Stowell Hospital District. 

Rep. Leo Wilson also highlighted her strong support for firefighters and first responders. This  past session, she proudly supported passage of HB 198, the Wade Cannon Act, which requires  free, annual occupational cancer screenings for Texas firefighters. These screenings include

urine analysis, blood panels, and chest X-rays to ensure early detection of cancers linked to toxic  exposure. 

“From securing law enforcement funding to protecting our firefighters through the Wade Cannon  Act, public safety is not just a priority for me. It is a commitment,” said Rep. Leo Wilson. “I look  forward to continuing this work with the support of President Trump and Governor Abbott, and I  am honored to have their confidence as we launch our campaign.” 

Rep. Leo Wilson’s campaign kick-off event will be held December 15 at the historic Lasker Inn  in Galveston, joined by Governor Greg Abbott.
