My Bio
Hello, I’m Angel Murphy, and I am running for re-election to Position 3 of Galveston County Drainage District No. 2. I respectfully ask for your vote to continue serving our community with integrity, transparency, and dedication.
I am a proud Navy veteran and honored to be endorsed by VoteVets. As a 12-year Galveston County resident, I actively advocate for improving quality of life across Texas City, La Marque, Dickinson, and Hitchcock.
As Board Secretary, I bring a strong understanding of Texas Chapter 49 Water Code and focus on ensuring our district operates efficiently, responsibly, and in full compliance with the law. My approach is practical and results-driven, centered on reliable drainage maintenance and accountable governance.
During my term, I have worked to strengthen district policies, introduced responsible public investments, and improve drainage system maintenance. I prioritize consistent ditch upkeep through regular inspection, cleaning, and follow-through to reduce preventable flooding. I believe in proactive maintenance—identifying issues early, keeping waterways clear, and ensuring work is completed before problems escalate.
I support clear priorities, measurable scheduling, and transparent reporting so residents can see what work is being done and where. I want the public to evaluate the district based on visible results and documented progress.
Transparency is essential. I advocate for open government through clear meeting materials, accurate records, and accessible information on budgets, contracts, and spending.
I am also focused on strengthening emergency management by improving flood preparedness, response, and long-term resilience. As a Master Gardener, I value environmental stewardship and sustainable solutions.
On May 2, 2026, I respectfully ask for your vote. Together, we can continue building a stronger, safer drainage district.

My Key Issues
Enhancing transparency and accountability
Transparency and accountability mean open decisions, clear records, honest communication, and responsible spending so taxpayers know how funds are used and leaders answer to the public. I have created updated policy and procedures to insure governance, transparency, and financial accountability.
Watershed Hydraulic Studies and Regular Maintenance
Use completed hydraulic studies and routine ditch, culvert, and channel maintenance to reduce flood risk, fix problem areas sooner, and protect homes, roads, and taxpayers from preventable flooding. Put in place advanced flood detection and monitoring systems to detect future problem areas.
Lower Taxpayer Burden
I believe district government should reduce the burden on taxpayers by using responsible public fund investment practices, pursuing grants, and working with local agencies to secure alternative funding. My goal is to lower operating costs, strengthen financial planning, and make sure district resources are used efficiently to support drainage, maintenance, and flood prevention.
