District 18 State Rep. Janis Holt (R-Silsbee) announced the opening of a second district office located in the Hardin County Courthouse, 300 West Monroe, Suite 133A, in Kountze. The space was donated by Hardin County.
Dana Hancock, a longtime resident of Hardin County, will serve as deputy district director and manage the Hardin County office. Hancock will represent the state representative and serve as a direct point of contact for local residents.
“Our goal is to ensure that the people of House District 18 have access to their state representative and the resources they need,” Holt said. “Dana brings a strong connection to the community and a heart for service. I know she will serve the people of Hardin County well.”
Office hours in Kountze will be 9 a.m.–12 p.m on Tuesdays, 1-4 p.m. on Wednesdays and by appointment on Mondays. Holt said he encourages residents to stop by to meet Hancock or call the office at (409) 527-5065. She added Hancock will be active throughout Hardin County to ensure that Holt stays connected to the community and informed on the needs and concerns of constituents.
“We are here to be a resource to you,” said Hancock. “Whether you need help navigating state services or just want to share your thoughts, we look forward to hearing from you.”
