Ready to Activate the Citizens of Angelina County

Who Are The Watchdogs?

We Are
The Watchdogs

We The Watchdogs is a network of Angelina County citizens working together for truth and transparency in our local leadership. Truth and transparency are not just words on a campaign yard sign - they actually mean something. We would like to hold them to their word.

In August 2022, a public meeting was held at the Pitser Garrison Civic Center in Lufkin. From our estimates, 350+ citizens showed up to hear the real story regarding the mishandling of the Unit Road System, and the mysterious six million dollar tax note money spent by the Commissioners Court. We knew we had to investigate and find out what was going on with our county roads. We were astonished by the turnout and realized the citizens of Angelina County wanted to be informed and engaged in their community. We have seen money squandered and work not done effectively. The public is angry and restless.

So the non-profit corporation We The Watchdogs was born to create awareness and activate the people of Angelina County. Every citizen wants to live in a town where they can trust their leaders, and we vote for them assuming they are conducting the affairs of our county for the good of all. Unfortunately, the truth is that there are many leaders who are serving their own agendas and make decisions based on their personal financial gain and political power. THIS MUST STOP!

So, together, we will assert our right to KNOW THE TRUTH about what is happening in our county by working for transparency, fairness and fiscal responsibility in our county, city and school leadership. We will also exercise our rights as citizens to provide oversight of our “hired” elected leaders, guarding how our tax dollars are spent.

Our Goals

To dig up the TRUTH and educate the public, regarding activities in our county, city, law enforcement, and school system.

DIG

Pursue full disclosure of local government plans by investigating unusual activities and filing open record requests.

WATCH

Share these concerns with our local leaders and citizens.

BARK

Our Mission

Our ultimate mission is to expose dishonest behavior, and influence our elected leaders who aren't guided by the principles of transparency and TRUTH. If they aren't serving the public interest, we will find candidates that will truly represent We The People and vote those leaders out of office. This will effectively lead to an increased turnout of informed voters to elect quality candidates.
