Join pharmacy this weekend to walk Chuck Hopson's district

Major pharmacy organizations and other Hopson supporters are meeting in Jacksonville Saturday for a last push throughout Rep. Chuck Hopson's East Texas district. Rep. Hopson is irreplaceable for independent community pharmacy. And you are irreplaceable for him. He needs your help this weekend.

We'll be hitting towns around Jacksonville, starting from the Hopson headquarters, 605 E. Rusk (Hwy 79) in Jacksonville. Check with the Jacksonville La Quinta or the new Holiday Inn Express if you need lodging.

  • Jacksonville
  • Alto/Wells in S. Cherokee County
  • Overton/New London/S. Kilgore in Rusk County
House Speaker Joe Strauss says re-electing Chuck is a major priority and is lending his support. This weekend is the last opportunity to keep Chuck on the ballot prior to Tuesday's primary election.  Once back in the House of Representatives, Chuck will have an even more valuable position within the House hierarchy.
