April 9, 2008

(Brenham, Texas) - Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) recently traveled to Brenham to meet with employees at Valmont Industries, an irrigation and utilities manufacturing company that employees over 250 people in Brenham and over 100 in Bellville, both within the Tenth District.

Consistently applying advancing technology to products and processes alike, Valmont Industries was the obvious candidate to produce the steel rods needed for the construction of the border fence. During his visit, Congressman McCaul saw stacks of fencing ready to be shipped out to construction sites.

"As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, border security is one of my top priorities. I am extremely proud to have a company in my district playing such a vital role in the effort to secure our border," said Congressman McCaul.

Michael McCaul is currently serving his second term representing Texas' 10th District in the United States Congress. The 10th Congressional District of Texas stretches across 8 counties from Austin to the Houston suburbs, and includes Austin, Bastrop, Burleson, Harris, Lee, Travis, Washington and Waller Counties.
