Your Voice Matters: Get Involved in Local Government
Local government works best when the people it serves are engaged, informed, and involved. Whether you’ve lived in Borger your whole life or are new to the community, your voice plays an important role in shaping the future of our city.
One of the simplest ways to get involved is by attending City Council meetings. These meetings are where important decisions are discussed, questions are asked, and plans for Borger’s future take shape. City Council meetings are open to the public and held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month, offering residents a consistent opportunity to stay informed and engaged.
Even if you don’t speak, showing up matters. Listening to the conversation, understanding the issues, and learning how decisions are made helps build a stronger connection between residents and their city.
Stay Informed Before You Attend
City Council agendas are posted in advance and are available online at www.borgertx.gov. Reviewing the agenda ahead of time allows you to see what topics will be discussed and helps you come prepared with questions or comments if you choose to participate.
Why Participation Matters
Being active in local government isn’t just about meetings — it’s about accountability, transparency, and community pride. When residents take an interest in how their city operates, it strengthens trust and ensures that decisions reflect the needs and values of the community.
Your involvement doesn’t have to be complicated. Attend a meeting (or watch online). Read an agenda. Ask a question. Share feedback. Small steps make a big difference.
Borger’s future is shaped not just by elected officials, but by the people who care enough to be involved. We invite you to join the conversation and be part of what’s next!
