Nick Tran submitted this statement; he is a candidate for The Woodlands Township Board of Directors. The views and personal accounts are his.\n\nWhen Nick Tran was five years old, he and his father escaped Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon on a leaking boat with little more than the clothes they were wearing.\n\nThe United States Navy rescued them at sea.\n\nAmerica gave Tran and his family freedom, safety and a second chance. Years later, he put on an Army uniform and fought in three wars, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq, for the country that had saved him and his father.\n\nNow, after more than 13 years of military service and a decade of leadership in a Fortune 500 global energy company, Tran is running for Position 3 on The Woodlands Township Board of Directors.\n\nFor Tran, the campaign is another opportunity to serve and to bring a different kind of experience to local government.\n\n“This country rescued my father and me and gave us a future,” Tran said. “I have spent most of my adult life trying to give something back. I served our country in uniform, served veterans and communities through my business career, and now I have an opportunity to serve the community my family calls home.”\n\nTran has organized his campaign around three priorities: keeping residents safe, preserving the heart and soul of The Woodlands, and serving as a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars.\n\n“Protect the people. Preserve the place. Respect the taxpayers,” Tran said. “That is what ‘Preserve What Works. Protect What Matters.’ means to me.”\n\nPublic safety is Tran’s first priority.\n\nHe began his military career in field artillery and later became a combat medic. An Army evaluation supplied by Tran records over 150 missions as a driver in the Red Zone on Route Irish, between Victory Base Complex and FOB Prosperity. The evaluation also lists team medic as an area of special emphasis.\n\nThat experience taught him that protecting people requires both proactive preparation and the ability to react decisively when an emergency occurs.\n\n“Being proactive means identifying threats, closing gaps, building relationships and having a plan before something happens,” Tran said. “But no plan will prevent every crime, storm or emergency. When something does happen, the people responsible for protecting the community must be trained, properly equipped, coordinated and ready to respond immediately.”\n\nTran said proactive public safety includes strong relationships with law enforcement, emergency planning, clearly defined responsibilities, regular evaluation of emerging threats and ensuring resources are positioned where they can be effective.\n\nThe reactive side, he said, is about speed, capability and leadership when seconds matter.\n\n“In combat, you learn quickly that decisions have real consequences,” Tran said. “You assess the threat, understand the risk, act with the resources available and take responsibility for the outcome. You do not wait until the crisis begins to decide who is responsible or what the plan should be.”\n\nTran believes The Woodlands must prepare for more than crime. Severe weather, flooding, fires, major accidents and other emergencies can threaten residents and disrupt the community.\n\n“We do not live behind a wall,” he said. “Threats do not stop at the boundary of The Woodlands. We have to do everything reasonably possible to prevent problems, but we must also have the people, planning and capability to respond when prevention is not enough.”\n\nThat combination of prevention, preparedness and response is central to Tran’s approach.\n\n“Public safety cannot be treated as a talking point,” he said. “It has to match the threat. My responsibility as a board member would be to ask whether we are prepared, whether the right resources are already in place and whether residents can count on an effective response when they need it most.”\n\nTran’s experience extends well beyond his military service.\n\nHe joined Cameron in 2014 and continued with Schlumberger, now SLB, following its acquisition of Cameron. His decade with the company included leadership in global military and veteran affairs, community affairs, stakeholder engagement, workforce strategy, corporate social responsibility and complex business operations.\n\nAcross those roles, Tran held responsibility for P&Ls, multimillion-dollar budgets, people, global programs and delivering measurable results within a large and complex organization.\n\nFor eight years, he led the company’s global military and veteran affairs program. Tran built the program across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, helping bring thousands of veterans into the company while building relationships among corporate leaders, military organizations, government agencies, nonprofits and the veteran community.\n\nAccording to his Rice Business biography, the company earned Military Friendly Employer recognition for eight consecutive years. SLB ranked first in the largest-company category of the 2024 Military Friendly Employer awards.\n\nTran says he also created a Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship program, founded the company’s Veteran Empowerment Team and served for eight years as its board sponsor for the Rice University Veterans Business Battle.\n\nThe work required more than recruiting. It required Tran to understand the needs of different stakeholders, build trust across institutions and align community initiatives with legitimate business objectives.\n\n“Stakeholder engagement is not showing up for a photograph or handing out a check,” Tran said. “It is understanding what matters to people, building relationships before you need them and creating partnerships that produce real results.”\n\nTran says he later served as Community Affairs Director, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, nonprofit and community partnerships and employee volunteer programs.\n\nHe says his work included corporate philanthropy, workforce development, veteran initiatives and STEM education, including the Houston Texans Stats Challenge. In a January 2018 community update (https://www.houstontexans.com/news/breakfast-texanscare-by-the-numbers-20234430), the Houston Texans reported that the program, presented by Schlumberger, had reached more than 51,000 students during the preceding year. That was a program-wide figure. Tran described his own participation in a later post about the program’s kickoff (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6977676276098621440/). His work placed him at the intersection of business, government, education, nonprofits and the communities in which the company operated.\n\nThat experience, Tran said, taught him how to balance community expectations with financial discipline and organizational priorities.\n\n“Good intentions are not results,” Tran said. “You have to understand the numbers, manage the money, bring the right people together, measure performance and answer for the outcome. That is true in business, and it should be true in government.”\n\nTran completed Harvard Business School’s Program for Leadership Development, according to his Rice Business biography. He says his board and advisory experience includes the World Affairs Council, March of Dimes, the American Heart Association and Rice Business.\n\nTran’s second priority is preserving the character of The Woodlands while managing growth responsibly.\n\n“The Woodlands has a special soul,” Tran said. “You feel it in the trees, the parks, the pathways, the neighborhoods and the way this community was designed. Those things are not decorations around the edges. They are part of what makes The Woodlands home.”\n\nTran said growth is inevitable, but losing the character of the community is not.\n\n“There is a fine balance between allowing The Woodlands to grow and allowing growth to change what The Woodlands is,” he said. “We should welcome investment and opportunity, but growth must strengthen our community, not slowly erase the qualities that made people want to live here.”\n\nFor Tran, “Preserve What Works. Protect What Matters.” is more than a campaign slogan.\n\nPreserving what works means respecting the planning, services, parks, public spaces and community standards that have made The Woodlands successful. Protecting what matters means safeguarding its people, natural beauty, financial strength, property values and the voice of its residents.\n\n“We do not need to reinvent The Woodlands,” Tran said. “We need the judgment to recognize what is working, the courage to question what is not and the discipline to protect the character and soul of this community as it grows.”\n\nTran’s third priority is responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.\n\nHis private-sector career required him to understand P&Ls, manage multimillion-dollar budgets, establish priorities and deliver measurable results. He said that experience taught him not only how money is spent, but where it comes from, how difficult it is to earn and why some of it must be saved and invested for the future.\n\n“Every public dollar started as money earned by a resident or generated by a business,” Tran said. “Government has a responsibility to treat that money with respect.”\n\nTran said being fiscally responsible does not mean automatically opposing every expenditure. It means understanding the need, examining the alternatives and determining whether the investment will produce real value for residents.\n\n“In business, you have to know what problem you are solving, what the investment will cost and how you will measure the result,” he said. “You also have to prepare for the future, maintain reserves and understand that spending money today can limit your choices tomorrow.”\n\nTran believes every major Township contract, expenditure and investment should receive serious scrutiny.\n\n“I have managed budgets where results mattered and accountability was not optional,” he said. “I will bring that same financial discipline to the Board and work to ensure that taxpayer dollars are properly spent, wisely invested and responsibly saved.”\n\nTran and his wife, Valarie, are raising their two children in Creekside Park, the only village of The Woodlands located in Harris County.\n\nAlthough Township directors are elected at large and are responsible for serving the entire community, Tran said Creekside Park currently has no resident serving on the seven-member Board.\n\n“Every director must represent all of The Woodlands, and that is exactly what I will do,” Tran said. “But where you live also shapes what you see and experience. Creekside Park deserves to have someone at the table who understands our side of the community firsthand.”\n\nTran said his Creekside residency would add another perspective to the Board without limiting his responsibility to residents across every village.\n\n“I am running to represent all of The Woodlands,” he said. “At the same time, Creekside Park is our home, and its residents should know that someone on the Board understands their concerns because he lives there too.”\n\nTran is one of three candidates seeking Position 3, alongside Priscila Young and Lisa Gilmore.\n\nGilmore’s published background includes work in local, county and federal government and public policy. She is also running as part of a unified four-candidate slate with Lee Wilson, Linda Nelson and Craig Eissler.\n\nTran is running independently.\n\nHe sees the distinction as straightforward. Gilmore offers extensive experience in government and politics. Tran offers military leadership, private-sector business experience and a record of working across corporations, government agencies, nonprofits and communities.\n\n“I belong to political and civic organizations, but I’m not part of the local candidate slate,” Tran said. “I don’t answer to a slate or vote as part of a bloc. I’ll make my own decisions based on what’s best for Woodlands residents.”\n\nTran said independence does not mean creating conflict for its own sake. It means having the judgment to support good ideas, challenge weak ones and remain accountable to the people who elected him.\n\n“The Board does not need an echo chamber,” he said. “It needs directors with different experiences who are willing to think critically, ask difficult questions and make independent decisions.”\n\nEarlier this year, Tran ran for Congress in Texas’ 8th Congressional District, finishing 273 votes and less than half of one percentage point from second place in a six-candidate Republican primary.\n\nHe is now bringing that experience home.\n\nTran’s case to voters rests on a combination rarely found in local government: the judgment of a combat veteran, the financial discipline of a global business leader, experience building relationships across complex stakeholder groups and the independence to make decisions without answering to a political slate.\n\n“I have led when lives were at stake, led inside a complex global company and managed budgets where results mattered,” Tran said. “I’m ready to bring that experience home and put it to work for the residents of The Woodlands.”\n\nThe Township election will be held November 3, 2026. Early voting runs from October 19 through October 30.\n\nMore information about Tran and his campaign is available at NickTranCampaign.com.\n\nProfessional background: Nick Tran’s LinkedIn profile (https://www.linkedin.com/in/realnicktran/).","url":"https://nicktrancampaign.com/","source":"Nick Tran campaign","author":"Nick Tran","category":"government","type":"feature","publishDate":"2026-09-29T13:45:00.000Z","published":"2026-09-29T13:45:00.000Z","pubDate":"2026-09-29T13:45:00.000Z","ingestedAt":"2026-09-29T13:45:00.000Z","image":"https://willisnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnicktrancampaign.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F09%2Fnick-tran-family-the-woodlands.webp","imageWidth":700,"imageHeight":502,"imageCredit":"Nick Tran with his wife, Valarie, and their two children.

The improvement still left most households below that affordability benchmark. HAR’s second-quarter affordability report\n\nAugust brought further moderation in prices. Greater Houston’s single-family median sale price was $330,000, down 1.5% from a year earlier, according to HAR’s September 9 market report. Those regional figures encompass different neighborhoods and property types, rather than describing every local market equally. HAR’s August market report\n\nIn Montgomery County, Alta Homes is among the builders offering homes below that regional median, with advertised prices beginning in the $170,000s.\n\nAs of September 10, the company listed a two-bedroom home at Lake Conroe Village in the Montgomery area for $174,990. Its inventory also included a three-bedroom home at Lexington Heights in Willis for $239,990, with October availability, and a three-bedroom home at Crockett Meadows in Conroe for $254,990. These are asking prices for specific properties, subject to availability. Alta’s published inventory\n\n“Buyers in these areas are asking for affordability, but they still want a nice place to call home,” said Dru Kahlenberg, CEO of Alta Homes. “We’ve adjusted our construction designs and our approach to better meet that need.”\n\nKahlenberg said the company’s focus includes maintaining construction quality at its entry-level prices and providing personal guidance through the buying process. For Alta, he said, responding to affordability concerns involves both the home itself and the experience of purchasing it.\n\nFor buyers, an attainable purchase price is the beginning of the calculation. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recommends accounting for property taxes, insurance, association fees where applicable, utilities and maintenance alongside the mortgage payment. CFPB’s homebuying budget guidance\n\nA home in Willis, Conroe or the Montgomery area may offer a different balance of price, space and location than a property closer to central Houston. Comparing those tradeoffs—and the full cost of ownership—helps buyers determine which option fits their household.","excerpt":"Contributed article: What Greater Houston’s latest housing figures and Alta Homes’ Conroe, Willis and Montgomery-area listings mean for buyers.","id":"alta-housing-affordability-20260910","image":"/media/alta-20260910-482657782be79a07.jpg","imageCredit":"An Alta Homes residence at 12007 Curlin Drive in Lexington Heights in Willis.

What you won't expect — what stops people in their tracks — are the fully realized, intricately detailed manga panels that fill Harper Madison's pages from edge to edge.","content":"Walk into any seventh-grade classroom in The Woodlands and you'll find the usual assortment of spiral notebooks, half-finished homework, and doodles in the margins. What you won't expect — what stops people in their tracks — are the fully realized, intricately detailed manga panels that fill Harper Madison's pages from edge to edge.\n\nHarper is thirteen years old, and she is already working at a level of artistic sophistication that takes most illustrators years of dedicated study to reach. Her characters breathe. Their expressions carry emotional weight. Her compositions — layered vignettes orbiting a central figure, panels within panels, dynamic action frozen in graphite and pigment — feel like pages torn from a professional anthology, not a middle schooler's sketchbook.\n\nWhat sets Harper apart isn't just technical skill, though that alone is remarkable. It's her instinct for narrative. Every piece she creates tells a story. In one recent colored-pencil work, a central character stands at the crossroads of their world — jersey number 17, the glow of Olympic rings floating nearby, a strawberry tucked into a thought bubble, secondary characters murmuring in the periphery. It's a complete universe rendered on a single sheet of paper, and every element was placed there with intention.\n\nPerhaps most impressive is how Harper channels her artistic voice into the world around her. In a recent piece titled Battle of San Jacinto — a subject drawn straight from Texas history class — she reimagined the legendary confrontation between Sam Houston's forces and General Santa Anna entirely in her signature manga style. The figures are dressed in period detail, the battle-worn textures are painstakingly cross-hatched, and the storytelling framing is pure Harper: cinematic, expressive, alive.\n\nIt's the kind of creative fusion — academic subject matter filtered through a distinctive personal lens — that signals an artist who isn't just talented, but genuinely original. Harper doesn't copy a style. She inhabits it and makes it her own.\n\nThat Harper signs every piece with a clean, deliberate copyright mark — © HarperMadison 2026 — speaks volumes about the seriousness with which she approaches her craft. This is not a hobby she dabbles in between classes. It is a practice, a discipline, a point of view. She protects her work because she values it, and that self-awareness as a creative is something even professional artists sometimes spend a career learning.\n\nThe manga and anime tradition she draws from — Japan's globally beloved visual storytelling language — is one of the most technically demanding art forms in popular culture. Mastering its anatomy, its linework, its expressive vocabulary of eyes and motion lines and panel composition requires hundreds of hours of study and practice. The fact that Harper is doing so at thirteen, with results this confident and polished, puts her on a trajectory that any art educator would find extraordinary.\n\nThe Woodlands has always been a community that nurtures talent — in athletics, in academics, in music. Harper Madison is a reminder that the next generation of homegrown creatives is already at work, pen in hand, filling pages with worlds of their own making.\n\nKeep an eye on this name. Harper Madison.

Participating organizations and local businesses are working together to identify practical ways to support students and families throughout the year.\n\nAmong those community partners is Kirk Murphy of Golden Corral, who has joined the effort to help provide meal gift coupons for selected students, adding another meaningful layer of support for children and families in the community.\n\nLove in Action, a local charitable organization serving Willis and surrounding communities, also participated in the backpack initiative. The organization has established a strong community presence through programs focused on helping children and families who may need additional assistance.\n\nThe recent giveaway brought charitable organizations, local businesses and school leadership together with a common purpose: making sure students begin the school year prepared and encouraged.\n\nKahlenberg said the back-to-school program is only one part of a broader year-round commitment.\n\n“Today we are giving back through backpacks and school supplies, but our commitment doesn't end when the school year begins,” Kahlenberg said. “We are already looking ahead to the holidays and opportunities to help children and families who may need a little extra support. When local businesses, schools and charitable organizations work together, we can make a real difference in our communities.”\n\nPlans are already underway for the upcoming Christmas season, including the development of Christmas gift lists for some of the most vulnerable children living in local subdivisions and communities throughout Montgomery County. The goal is to identify children and families with genuine needs and help provide Christmas gifts and other assistance during the holiday season.\n\nKahlenberg and his affiliated charitable organizations, including Humanity Squared, Warriors Fund, and The Galen Foundation, support a variety of community projects and organizations throughout Montgomery County and Galveston, with an emphasis on children, families and locally focused assistance.\n\nFor Kahlenberg, a local land developer with longstanding involvement in area communities, the charitable work is closely connected to the places where he lives, works and develops.\n\nThe recent backpack initiative also included participation from local school leadership, including Principal Susan Fossler and her team, who helped connect the charitable effort with students and the school community.\n\nAdditional community partners and participating organizations will be recognized as the program continues.\n\nFrom backpacks and school supplies today to meals, Christmas gifts and future community programs, the organizations involved say the objective remains simple: local people and local organizations working together to take care of their neighbors.\n\nGiving back locally, one family and one child at a time.\n\n———\n\nThis article was submitted by the participating organizations and is published as a community submission. It was not independently reported by this newsroom, and the statements in it are the submitters' own. Readers should know that this publication's owner serves on the boards of Humanity Squared and The Galen Foundation and is an officer of the organization behind Warriors Fund, all of which are named above.","excerpt":"Backpacks and school supplies were handed out at CC Hardy Elementary in Willis as charitable organisations, local businesses and campus staff opened the school year together — with meal coupons and a Christmas gift drive already planned.","id":"mocobp26","image":"/features/backpack-giveaway-cc-hardy.jpg","imageCredit":"Backpacks ready for students at CC Hardy Elementary in Willis, where community partners and campus staff gathered for the back-to-school handoff.
