Our smiles were bright because Kate was with us and it was the inaugural trip for the new float billboards.

These very large panels were painted by Gayle and Lee. (The state capitol’s appearance was made possible by Lee’s draughtsman skills!)

The presence of several candidates for state offices, including MJ Hegar, Wendy Davis, and Rebecca Martinez, was an honor.
