This letter has been submitted to Mayor Brock for his consideration of the appointment of Colette Nies. PLEASE let your voice be heard alongside me. Sign and share!

Dear Mr. Mayor,

I have been a city resident of New Braunfels for 10 years.

I am extremely concerned and strongly object to the appointment of Colette Nies to the Housing Authority Board. Ms. Nies is a failed Democratic candidate who ran and was rejected by this community for a reason. It is not difficult to see that in the past year that Democratic policies, actions, agendas and sentiment run fast in the face of these cherished values and principles. The appointment is intended to be non-partisan. I do not believe Ms. Nies would uphold such a posture were she appointed.

Please uphold your oath. Defend “we the people”….in this case the people of the city of New Braunfels. Do the right thing. Stand both with and for the people who elected you. DO NOT appoint Ms. Nies to this position. She too is a resident of the county. I am not opposing her as a person, nor do her qualifications or even her “criminal record” factor in as far as I am concerned, but I oppose this appointment because of the root principles of the Democratic party and her evident partisanship when this position is supposed to be non-partisan. Two examples: 1. Ms. Nies has posted on Social Media a poster whose clear message is “Obama=Hope, Trump=Hate” 2. It is evident that she has support from the president of a local Antifagroup with underpinnings of Satanist association (this too, is sourced from social media). If these examples reflect her approach to things that will affect New Braunfels city residents, do you believe appointing Ms. Nies will serve the better interests of said residents?

I was not in attendance of the last Council meeting (January 25) where the appointment was postponed. But I heard there was such a healthy and robust turn out in opposition to the appointment. There is a reason! We are a county that is conservative (72.6% of the County embraces this: https://www.bestplaces.net/voting/city/texas/new_braunfels). Perhaps “one appointment” could not make a difference. I do not believe that is true. I believe that you hold to a similar opinion. Baby steps in the wrong direction are still just that….the wrong direction.

Thank you for your time, consideration and attention to this important matter.

Respectfully,

Robyn Bridges and

Concerned New Braunfels City and Comal County Residents

The Mayor of New Braunfels should adhere to the post's specific requirements; the position is volunteer & non-partisan. Ms. Nies is a partisan activist and in that respect, she is not qualified for the position.

From her social media pages she is not at all supportive of basic constitutional rights (1 & 2) and derides those she disagrees with. Too politically motivated to represent ALL residents of New Braunfels community. Her comments reveal her extreme self oriented perspective of oyhers.

This woman is unsafe, unstable, and ill equipped. I have serious concerns about her in positions of influence and authority as she uses her disposition to cyber bully people, dox people and incite others to do the same.

Mayor Brockman, we must appoint moral and law abiding citizens to leadership positions in our City. People that will do the right thing no matter the cost. Colette Nies is not that person! She has a criminal record, lies on youtube videos about her opposition. I implore you Mayor to dowhat is right for the sake of our posterity! Thank you!

I strongly object to the appointment of Colette Nies to the Housing Authority Board as she is NOT a "non partisan" candidate and is not capable to represent my values and principles.

I urge the Mayor to listen to the residents concerns and hold off on this appointment. The residents spoke out during the election and I feel he should honor their voices.

Any mayor that's supports Pride month and bring evil into the town should be removed.
