WHAT FREEDOM MEANS TO ME..
by Trever Nehls
As every American should know and never forget: Freedom isn’t free. The ability in our day to day lives to live as we see fit in the world’s most prosperous country is a consequence of the sacrifices of countless men and women who have sacrificed their lives defending America. The United States Constitution explicitly establishes our freedoms. The freedom to speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and many others are integral to the unique American freedom we enjoy; however, the Constitution and the freedoms spelled out therein are little more than words and ideas without someone to defend them. As a retired US Army Colonel, who served 33 years defending our Constitution, I know firsthand the sacrifices our men and women make on a daily basis to ensure our homeland is secure and Americans are able to enjoy their Constitutional freedoms. For many people outside of America, freedom isn’t established by a constitution or defended by men and women in uniform. Instead, in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, the local populace has no freedom outside of what Al-Qaeda or the Taliban arbitrarily decides. The brutality of how the Taliban subjugate the Afghan people is truly horrific – that’s why you saw Afghan citizens desperately clinging to the landing gear of airplanes as they took off from the tarmac. The Afghan people knew what it meant when America left: the little freedom they once enjoyed would be gone and they’d now be subjugated to the brutal, dicta-

torial rule of the Taliban. My Afghanistan interpreter, Agha, was able to get out before the Taliban assumed control – something we worked on for years after I returned to the states from my deployment there. Agha is now living in Texas and is employed full time with a national trucking and logistics company. He couldn’t be happier and more grateful to be living in a country where his freedom is established by the Constitution and defended by our men and women in uniform. As Americans, we so often take for granted the blanket of freedom our Constitution and nation’s military provides. But we can always be reminded when we look to our nation’s veterans to share stories of the sacrifices they’ve endured and made to defend our freedom. I hope the millions of Americans celebrating July 4th this weekend will reflect on and honor the sacrifices our military men and women have made so that we have something to celebrate on July 4th; and I hope they express pride to be living in the most free and prosperous country on Earth – a country which protects our endowed freedoms and liberties from those who would do it harm. That’s what freedom means to me and millions of Americans who’ve served this country and honor its foundation, and I pray we never forget it.

Fort Bend County District Attorney Brian Middleton Speaking to the State Democratic Executive Committee in Austin.
WE NEED MORE LEADERS LIKE BRIAN MIDDLETON...
I’m so proud of Fort Bend County District Attorney Brian Middleton. If you ask me, we need more Brian Middleton’s to be elevated to positions of authority on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, all across the Lone Star State. Right now in counties all across America, we’ve allowed far too many followers to be elevated into leadership positions through straight-ticket voting. Listen!!! We cannot sit back and allow the fabric of our nation to be torn apart by short-sighted people who only care about enriching themselves and their cronies any longer. So, I’m humbly asking you to only cast your vote for “GOD-FEARING” people who value, respect, and appreciate your support. Also, please don’t forget to tell everyone you know who lives in Fort Bend County to cast their vote for Trever Nehls in the race for Fort Bend County Judge on November 8, 2022.

About Trever
Trever Nehls has dedicated his life to service. At the age of 19, he enlisted in the US Army National Guard. He was deployed to defend our freedom in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait, and commanded troops at the company, battalion and brigade level. Trever is a graduate of the U.S. Army War College, the Joint Forces Staff College and the Command and General Staff College. This past August, he retired with the rank of Colonel after 33 years of dedicated service. He is a decorated combat veteran, most notably the recipient of three Bronze Star medals. While not deployed, Trever served his local community at home as a law enforcement professional. In 1993, Trever began his Texas law enforcement service with the Sugar Land Police Department, serving in various roles until he was elected as Fort Bend County Precinct 4 Constable in 2012. He served two four-year terms as Constable of Fort Bend County Precinct 4. During his tenure as Constable, Trever cut unnecessary waste, instituted body cameras for all his deputies, and kept our communities safe. He also waded through waist deep flood waters during Hurricane
Harvey to rescue dozens of people and pets. Trever comes from a long line of military and law enforcement family professionals. His father, Edwin Nehls, served with the U.S. Army in Korea and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, our nation’s second highest medal for heroic actions for his bravery in hand to hand and small arms combat exchanges in Pau-gol Korea. Following military service, Edwin joined the Dodge County, Wisconsin Sheriff’s Office, where he became the elected Sheriff. Trever’s older brother, Todd Nehls, also served in the U.S. Army for over 36 years retiring with the rank of Colonel. Todd also served with the Dodge County, Wisconsin Sheriff’s Office and also served as the elected Sheriff. Trever’s twin brother, Troy Nehls, served the U.S. Army with 21 years of admirable service, retiring as a Major. Troy later served as the Sheriff of Fort Bend County, Texas. Currently, Troy serves as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressional District 22. Combined they have over 100 years of law enforcement service and over 90 years of military service. Today, Trever is the President of a Fort Bend County based biotechnology company. He will take his experience in the public and private sectors to make Fort Bend County government efficient and effective. He’s 100% pro-business and believes taxes and spending is out of control and would work to cut the waste to reduce the tax burden on Fort Bend County residents. Outside of his professional life, Trever is engaged in numerous community service organizations such as the Exchange Club and

Rotary Club. Trever is also a life member of the VFW Post 3903 in Rosenberg. He and his wife Kerri are raising their three children Madison, Wyatt, and Parker here in Fort Bend County. Trever and his family are active members of Grand Parkway Baptist Church. They have four dogs named Charlie, Duke, Cookie and Champ.
ISSUES Business
Trever Nehls is the President of a Fort Bend County based biotechnology company. As President he oversees the business’s employees, budget, international and domestic sales, and research & development. Trever strongly believes government should support small businesses as they are the lifeblood of
our economy. He is 100% pro-business and would put his experience to work to make Fort Bend County the best county to do business in the state of Texas, by working directly with business to streamline burdensome government regulation and processes.
Spending/Taxes
As the former Precinct 4 Constable, Trever Nehls has firsthand experience running a county office and
dealing with the budgeting process and Commissioner’s Court. He’s seen the waste and overspending for years by our county government, and if elected County Judge will find and cut unnecessary spending and lower the tax burden on all Fort Bend residents.
Crime/Safety
As the former Fort Bend County Precinct 4 Constable and someone who served over 30 years in law enforcement, Trever knows what it takes to make Fort Bend County safe. Fort Bend County has seen an increase in crime over the last year and our county leadership is doing nothing to combat it. As County Judge, Trever will use his decades of law enforcement experience to work with law enforcement partners throughout Fort Bend County to make sure they have the staffing and resources they need to keep the streets of Fort Bend County safe.
