Jimmy Skipton
Bio
I was born and raised in Texas.
I attended Sam Houston State University.
I have lived with my wife and two sons in Hays County for the last 18 years on a small ranch located in Henly. We are on groundwater, so I am well aware of all the problems that come with living on groundwater in the hill country.
I have served as the Board President for the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District for the past 2 years.
I believe the district should have local control and not be combined with Comal and Travis Counties, and I will do my part to keep this district a local groundwater District of Hays County that is run by Hays County residents.
I will not support any legislation that requires homeowners to get permission from the groundwater district to sell their home or ranch.
I will not support meters on exempted wells (i.e. wells that pump less than 25,000 gallons used for domestic or agricultural use).
I will support the district in providing more conservation and education efforts to the citizens of Hays County.
My mission is to protect our groundwater and the rights of landowners in Hays County.
