Achieving Complete Count For Texas In 2020 Census
AUSTIN April 17, 2019 - Texas Secretary of State David Whitley this week met with regional and local representatives from the U.S. Census Bureau to discuss achieving a complete count for the State of Texas in the 2020 Census. During the meeting, Secretary Whitley received a substantive update on efforts being undertaken at the local level to achieve a complete count and examined strategies for reaching hard-to-count populations ahead of the forthcoming decennial census. Secretary Whitley expressed his full support for the Census Bureau's outreach activities in Texas and offered the Secretary of State's office as a resource for entities across Texas working toward the common goal of achieving a complete count in 2020. "In order to ensure Texas receives its fair share of federal funding in critical areas such as transportation, education, heath care, housing assistance, and disaster relief, and to ensure Texans are appropriately represented in congress, it is incumbent upon state agencies, local stakeholders, and community organizations to work collaboratively to strive for a complete and accurate count of people living in the Lone Star State," Secretary Whitley said. "Our office is pleased to serve as a liaison to the U.S. Census Bureau as we continue to work together to share ideas and resources in spreading the word to all Texans about the importance of participating in the 2020 Census." 2020 Census Facts:
