Episode 21: Teri Marsh
In Episode 21, we are hearing from Teri Marsh of the League of Women Voters of Texas. We are exploring the changes enacted by the 89th Texas Legislature. Teri will explain the new support for water infrastructure and conservation.
A native Texan, Teri Marsh exchanged the big city lights of Houston for tiny Brackettville, Texas in 2020 upon retiring after 23 years of teaching in the Houston ISD. A Fort Worth native and the mother of two adult sons, Teri holds degrees from Baylor University and the University of Houston.
After retirement, Teri discovered the League of Women Voters as a way to engage as a citizen in her new community. She especially enjoys registering first-time voters at nearby community colleges. As concerns grew about the drying of Las Moras Springs beginning in 2022, Teri began attending groundwater conservation district meetings and educating herself about groundwater law and science. Recognizing the importance of a stable water supply for all Texans (and for the future of our state), she agreed to serve as the Water Advocacy Chair for the LWV of Texas in 2024.
Teri and Jack, her husband of 45 years, enjoy being surrounded by nature, history, and wildlife on Fort Clark Springs, where they reside. When not at home with their four cats, you’ll probably find them in their RV touring a national forest, visiting a state park, or visiting their two grandchildren in Houston.
