Collin County turns out to vote for historic results

This year’s mid-term elections have brought record turnout to Texas and Collin County. The spotlight is on Dallas suburbs like Plano, whose changing demographics and growing populations are making these cities a bellwether for the region. Over 9.5 million votes were cast across the states for a historic upset, placing Democratic candidates throughout the state’s highest elected offices in decades. This was the first time that Collin County went to a Democratic Senate candidate since 1970. Democratic candidates James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, Vikki Goodwin and others all won their raises. Democrats also made major gains in the US House and Senate, securing a majority. Republicans have maintained a majority in the Texas Senate, but may be at risk of losing the State House race, which has not yet been called. Local Republican incumbent Congressional Representatives like Keith Self held on to their seats in single digit victories. Dallas area attorney Maeghan Whitehead signed up to act as a nonpartisan poll monitor for the Election Protection Coalition and was sent to the Harrington Library in Plano to ensure an orderly and accessible election. Her job for the day included keeping signs and picketers at least 100 feet from the voting site,

Local veteran finds new ways to serve in civilian life

In 2005, Matt Foster was deployed to Iraq. Today, he’s helping veterans build community on greener pastures. Foster, who lives in Allen, grew up in New Braunfels and enlisted in the military after high school. He served in the Army from 2003 to 2007, becoming an E-4 specialist. Foster was influenced by a military lineage going back generations. His dad was in the Navy and his grandfather was in the Army and his uncle was in the Marine Corps. Foster said after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he knew he would join the military too. “9/11 was one of those days that I think, certainly for everybody in my generation, I could tell you exactly where I was, down to the spot in the middle of the road where I heard it,” Foster said. “It transformatively changed my life and gave me a direction that I didn't know that I needed. When I was graduating from high school, I had offers to go to college. I could have done that, and it just wasn't what I felt I needed at the time, and so I really had this strong desire to go serve.” In 2005, he married his
