Hi, I'm Angie Unger

ABOUT ME

I am a longtime Hays County resident, mother, bilingual community leader, and small business owner with deep roots in service. I’m running for County Commissioner because the people who live here deserve leadership that listens, plans responsibly, and puts community first.

PRIOR EXPERIENCE

My experience is rooted in real, hands-on service across Hays County. For years, I’ve been engaged in voter outreach, block walking, fundraising, and organizing events with different groups and organizations — often self-funding efforts simply to help inform and engage our community. I’ve created bilingual educational content, hosted forums, and organized community events to increase civic participation and bring people together.
 

I’ve attended numerous Commissioners’ Court meetings, as well as water-related meetings, to better understand the challenges facing our aquifers, infrastructure, and rural communities. Through my professional and community work, I understand how county decisions affect families, rural landowners, and neighbors in real time.
 

My background in real estate has given me practical, on-the-ground experience with land use, water, wells, roads, budgets, and how growth impacts everyday families. I’ve navigated complex situations and made careful decisions with accountability and care. I don’t claim to know everything; but I listen closely, ask questions, and show up consistently. I’m ready to serve with transparency, responsibility, and heart, and to put people first in every decision.

When I was a little girl,

water wasn’t political.

It was survival.

 

It was the faucet you prayed would run.

The river you weren’t allowed to waste.

The reminder that some things are sacred because you cannot live without them.

Now we stand here in Hays County, above the Trinity, and Edwards,

in a place where families are growing, roads are expanding,

and development moves faster than our aquifers can recharge.

 

And I have to ask:

 

What good is growth

if it leaves our children without water?

 

What good is profit

if it drains the lifeblood of our land?

 

Water is not partisan.

It is not red or blue.

It is clear.

 

Clear enough to see our responsibility in it.

 

We can grow; but we must grow wisely.

We can build; but we must build sustainably.

We can prosper; but not at the cost of the very resource that makes prosperity possible.

 

Because stewardship isn’t about fear.

 

It’s about courage. The courage to say: Slow down. Study the science. Protect what we cannot replace.

 

I’m running to be responsible.

 

For our aquifers.

For our farmers.

For our families.

For Precinct 4.

 

Because water isn’t just policy.

It’s life.
