They are both wonderful fathers, and I have two great daughters-in-law! Joy Fuchs is sworn in for her fifth term as Washington County Commissioner. I am so proud of my sons Michael graduated from Texas A&M and is employed by Rich Products, and Landry graduated from Sam Houston and is employed by Brenham Wholesale – both are in sales. They are truly the light of my life, and being a Memaw is the most wonderful job in the world. Landry and his wife, Jennifer, live here in Brenham and have two children, Olivia Kate and Dallas Landry. My most important history is my family!

Our worship team goes to area churches and civic events spreading the Good News through polka, rock ‘n’ roll and country music. I am the Chair of our church council and sing on the church worship team. I am also very active in our County Fair and enjoy serving on various committees. I also worked full time as a clinical nurse at a local doctor’s office, and served as an adult leader for the Washington County 4-H clubs where both my sons were elected to the State 4-H Council. It must have worked because I won the primary and then had an opponent in the General Election, another man! I continued to visit with people and deliver my message and was elected as the first female County Commissioner in Washington County!īefore running for Commissioner, I was a member of the Burton ISD School Board for 12 years, and at that time I was the first and only female on that board. I began my campaign by going door to door and meeting all of the people in my precinct, going to all the functions in the county and just trying to get my message out. In 1998, there was an open seat for Precinct 4 County Commissioner, so I decided I wanted to give it a try. Our thanks to Washington County Commissioner Joy Fuchs for taking the time to visit with us.
