Feb. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Iraq law enforcement veteran and local attorney Adam Muery filed for candidacy for place 3 for The Woodlands Township Board election to be held on May 8th.

"The Woodlands is a wonderful community where we are proud to raise our family. Unfortunately, crime is a growing concern that needs to be addressed now before it gets out of hand. In 2009 home burglaries rose by over 45%, felony drug arrests doubled and business robberies tripled. We also saw disturbing events with bank robberies, car-jackings, and violent assaults on women. The board needs someone with my experience to focus on these threats and help safeguard our community. Together we can make a difference. I need your support and ask for your vote on May 8th."
