Neal For NB

The Guadalupe River is the heart of New Braunfels, and the recent sanitary sewer overflow into that river demands a full accounting.

As a member of the NBU Board, I am directing staff to provide a complete report on this incident, including whether backup power systems were in place, why containment took three hours, and what changes will be made immediately to prevent recurrence.

NBU responded quickly and is remediating the site. That's the job. But our community deserves more than a quick response after the fact. They deserve systems resilient enough to handle a forecasted Hill Country storm.

I will make sure New Braunfels gets both the answers and the accountability.

All gave some. Some gave all.

It was an honor to stand with New Braunfels veterans and community members today to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.

Neal believes private property rights matter. They are part of the foundation of our country and our state. City leaders should respect those rights while also working to protect neighborhoods, infrastructure, public safety, and the character of New Braunfels.

That balance takes honest leadership, not easy sound bites.
