After the passing of former Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas, Representative Randy Weber (R – Friendswood) issued the following statement:

“Lyda Ann Thomas, former mayor of Galveston, passed away yesterday. She served as mayor from 2004 - 2010. During her tenure in office, the Island was hit by two major hurricanes. Ms. Thomas knew better than most that it’s not a matter of if the next storm hits, it’s simply a matter of when the next storm will hit. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.”
