Lake Dallas, T.X.— Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, released the following statement on the death of former Denton Mayor Euline Williams Brock, who served in this office from 2000-2006.

“Euline Williams Brock was a generous, courageous, and dedicated community leader who spent her life serving others. From advocating for civil rights to running for local office, Mayor Brock always was at the forefront of progress. Before serving three terms as the mayor of Denton, she was an active council member and community organizer. A valued educator, Mayor Brock enriched the lives of students across North Texas. She was a loyal friend to Texas Woman’s University and the University of North Texas, where she earned her Ph.D. in 1974. Her death is a loss for Denton and our North Texas community. I offer my condolences to her husband Horace and their family.”
