Historic Disabled Veteran Assistance Payments: In a landmark victory for the community, Mayor Blomquist worked alongside State Representative Hillary Hickland and State Senator Pete Flores to pass HB 2894. Signed by Governor Abbott in 2025, this bill ensures Harker Heights receives state reimbursement for 100% Disabled Veterans assistance payments—the first time in city history such support has been secured. This is a huge accomplishment.

“It has been the honor of my life to serve as your Mayor,” said Mayor Blomquist. “We have worked to secure our future water needs, protect our taxpayers, and finally stood up for all Harker Heights citizens in Austin on multiple occasions. But our work isn’t finished. I am asking for your support to continue building a stronger Harker Heights that is better prepared, prosperous, and secure for generations to come.”

To all that voted in the last election, regardless of the candidate/party affiliation: Thank you.

Your vote matters.

Best,

Ed
