Matagorda County now falls under Congressman Michael Cloud’s district after recent changes to Texas boundaries. Cloud, a Victoria resident, has served since ’18 and is known for his conservative stance on small government and fiscal responsibility. He currently sits on the House Appropriations Committee, helping secure millions for Gulf Coast infrastructure, including airport upgrades and transit projects. Cloud says he will focus on issues important to Matagorda County, such as border security, energy, agriculture, and coastal resiliency, while continuing to challenge federal government expansion.
